Valentine Goodness ~

I thought I would share the valentine box that my mother decorated several years ago and filled with candy for hubby and I. She covered an old valentine box with vintage wallpaper and embellished it with lace, pearls ,ribbon and a large rose. Love it!

For those of you who are trying to follow my progess on my stairway wall I apologize. I have not had much time to work on it lately. Hopefully I can get to that soon. Also, the person I contacted about getting wall words has yet to get ahold of me so I am playing a waiting game there as well. I hope to get the wall repainted by this weekend and get things moving along. I do hope you have a day filled with unexpected blessings ~

Family Heirloom Valentines ~

I have always been the *SAVER* in the family and I love that I have valentines that were my grandmothers, my mothers and mine. I just had to share a few pictures with you. The valentines in the first picture are valentines that my mother made when she was very young for my grandmother. My mother will be 71 years old in February so these are oldies! The next few are valentines that were given to my mother in grade school . The little elephant is moveable and just adorable ~
Okay...not my finest moment in arts and crafts , but this is a turtle valentine that I made my mother when I was very young ~
Valentines that I received as a child in 1961~

I hope you enjoyed reminiscing with me! Have a wonderful day! Blessings! Sandi
