Valentines Day Post

So instead of talking about roses and chocolates today, I'm sharing other things I LOVE that I found on Etsy and Zibbet ...   for the record, I do hope you're being treated with hugs and love and hopefully a chocolate or two ... ♥

French Market Bag and more to come ... on Valentines Day ♥

... it's Saturday and I'm on a roll ... haven't felt this creative in a long time !  Today I finished another French Market Scrabble Bag ... 2 more ipad covers and almost finished 4 pillow cases !
Can't wait for tomorrow to get back into it again ...

My Vintage Scrabble Bag available on Etsy 

... and I scored a lovely bunch of Wild Hops for Valentines Day ... 

aren't they awesome ??? 

And then I helped Lilly (our youngest) make a special dessert - Chocolate Souffle ! for Valentines Day dinner !!  Am I crazy ????  Find it here

Sweet Valentine

~  it's here ... V Day ... how did you go ?  Roses ... chocolates ... or nothing ?

Does it really matter if you don't get something on Valentines Day?

When I was younger it most certainly did ... especially if everyone else in the office was receiving bouquets, so I can sympathize with all those girls hoping for flowers!!!  {been there girls and had plenty of years of the big ZERO}

Now that I'm married, I know it's not the end of the world if I don't 'clean up'  - but isn't it awful the way society has commercialized the day so much that people do get really upset if they don't get anything OR on the flip-side go and spend a fortune 'proving' their love to someone that they could really do any other day of the year ??? ...   

It's an interesting marketing ploy.  So if you did receive today - lovely and enjoy it ... if you didn't - don't stress ...  If you have your health you have everything and hey - you can always get flowers {or something pretty} on Pinterest!

Here's some of my faves ...

 

... OMG - even one for the meat lovers !!!

berry nice ...

... ps... amazingly ... my hubby remembered this year and even though they are actually 'weeds' from the bore drain - they were a lovely surprise.

valentines day ... big love

i don't purposely go around making items for 'Valentines Day' in my store, but i do seem to lean towards making things that involve hearts, prettiness and pink...

my husband actually said once ... "I don't need someone telling me there has to be one special day when I should be romantic and nice to my wife" ... awww... (blushing)

we don't live anywhere near shops and in our nearest town (100km away) there is NO florist - actually you have to drive for about 7 hrs East, or 5 hours West before you get to a florist... so every now and then he surprises me with something that's growing 'out in the paddock'...  not often enough I say!

anyway, here are a some goodies in my store that could definitely be a lovely 'valentine' if you do like to make the day special ... now if only I could grow me some peonies... or lisianthus... sigh ...

enjoy ~
