With Old Valentines...

In 2012 I was blessed to inherit some old family valentines.  

I figured it's time to give them their debut...

(And it made the putting away of Christmas a little less sad.)

 

They are just the right touch to my pinwheels...

 I know the pink feather heart doesn't quite go - 

but it's from my mother who just died in November...

 This studio photo is my aunt and uncle's wedding picture.  

I love the matting it has!

 There is no real wedding photo of my parents.  

But this picture was taken in their early days

 together 

during WWII while my dad served in a CPS camp

in VA as a Conscientious Objector.  

(Some day I'll have to tell you more of their story.)

I have some silver on hand waiting to sell...

might as well put it to use...

 Another pink heart - my mother had two.

And hanging near by...

This was my first year really decorating for

 Valentine's Day.  Kinda fun!
