Am I still in time?



To wish you a Happy Valentine?!

We usually don't celebrate Valentine, because this celebration is just not us.



Though I do have a bouquet.
Another man than my husband surprised me with this...
My husband works for 10 years at the same company and to celebrate this we had a very nice dinner, a present for him and a bouquet for me.



These branches should have been filled with those card-labels on top of this post.
Mmm I'll keep them till next year. Then I'll be the first with Valentine decoration!



We call these branches 'katjes' which means kittens. These flowers start like little furs, so soft and not flower like at all. They are another messenger that spring is coming.



These branches are some kind of Salix.


My favorite heart

Some vignettes:



Some love letters....



Love letters unpacked.

Peter started writing Sjaan in 1942 and they married in March 1944.
It's a little sad that their love letters ended up at Rotterdam market. On the other hand; I bought them there, treat them with respect and those letters play a part in Valentine decoration. Well how cool is that, while other letters have been thrown in the waste bin?






The mantle, centerpiece filled with heart shaped mercury glass.



Tip: the border of this heart is made from kitchen paper.



Another Valentine vignette?
No especially for Elly; it's my Pip diary and one of the fabrics I'm going to use in the Pip room.
Have a nice weekend whether you celebrate a special Valentine's day or not.

Have fun and remember; every day can be a special day. xoxo LiLi
