Puppy love tag book

What a pleasure to receive this little parcel in my mailbox!

Today the puppy love tag book arrived.
Karla Nathan hosted a puppy tag swap in honor of Twinks' little puppies.
She assembled a tag book for every participant.
And she had made a tag book cover for every tag book.
That must have been a awful lot of work.
But I'm so happy with the result!
Thanks Karla!



Let's take a closer look:

The tag book cover is made by the one and only Karla Nathan! You will probably recognize it from the button of the puppy love tag swap. The lovely embellishments were also attached by Karla.

This tag is called "On the wings of love" and is made by Jen Kershner.



This token of affection was made by Carla Fisch.



'I am there for you' by Sarah Elder.

Lovely vintage embellishment, ribbons and flowers. This tag was made by Dawn Gahan.




'Puppy Love' was created by Cheryl Stoneham.

And the the last one in the book:


Another 'Puppy love' created by Valita Baxles.

Thanks to all girls! I love all tags but together I adore them!

Thanks again Karla for hosting such a fun swap!

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

Where are those lucky numbers?



Ah, here they are....



Looking for initials...



Do you see yours?




Well Liisa has seen hers and her lucky number 6!
she won the One World One Heart give away.
The box of her choice is nr. 1
Congratulations Liisa!
Btw she has a lovely blog Ottilias Veranda.



And Cathy has won the box of her choice too!
She has more than one blog, I have to check myself. I have met her down Hazelruthe's during One World One Heart, I didn't know she is the author of Blog events dex, which is in my reader already, too.




If I didn't know better I would swear that this box was made for Jeanette! I already knew Jeanette before One World One Heart and I have told you before about our Dutch styling queen. So I guess you already met Jeanette at Just Jeanette.



This last box was won by Emily!
It's so much fun to meet new friends!

Ladies, congrats to all of you! Please send me your addies!
You can mail me, my e-mail address is on my profile page.

Every one else who gave comments: thank you so much.
I never had over 300 comments before!
This years' One World One Heart' was even a bigger succes than last years'. Over 900 participants were having give aways. Those give aways are closed now, but you can still jump on the caravan and make new friends as our host Lisa will keep the list of participants for a while over here. Thank you Lisa for hosting this great event!

I hope to be back on Saturday...
