Very Valentine

I put a few things out for Valentine's Day already.  I always enjoy decorating for the holidays, especially this one.....a day of love, and we could use more love in the world, don't ya think?  But first I wanted to share some sky pictures.   It's been raining so much here in California, and it seems the skies are even prettier after a rain.

 

 

 

 

 

You can see how much rain we've been having by the flooding on the grass.

 

 

 

 

 

Now for some cheerful....

Remember the rose soaps that Nel got me?  I put them in a gold bowl that my sister gave me, and they are a nice Valentine touch for the bathroom.

 

 

This is from the Willow Tree collection.  I used to have a couple more, but gave them away.  Me and Jess have been going through stuff and de-cluttering.   I kept this one, as she's carrying a single rose.

 

 

I have collected many tea cups through the years, but I thought these looked Valentiney (is that a word?).  ; )

 

 

 

 

I love this little cherub,

and it's smaller than it looks.

 

 

January can get dreary, and I usually light many candles during this month.

 

 

 

I've had these red birds for many years...they're sweet, and one of my favorite things to put out.

 

 

 

I sent my grandbabies Valentines

in the mail.

 

 

And my three Valentine's.

I thought the girls would like this picture, as they are raising kids of their own.  I remember well taking this picture.  We all dressed up in white sweaters and blue jeans and boots.   It was a very casual look, and a treasured picture of mine.
 

 

Made a batch of sugar cookies
with strawberry frosting.

 

I've always loved decorating for holidays, and really all year long.  Not sure where it comes from, cause my mom didn't decorate her house that much.  But I hope I never lose the desire to be creative, and at least put a few things out when every holiday comes around.  : )
