Happy-One-Day-Late-Valentine's Day!

Happy late Heart Day!

Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day!  

Tell the truth, I don't much care for Valentine's Day ...other than making cards and hanging a few hearts.  It's just not my thing and never has been.   I don't much care for the Valentine's Day Kitsch ....and the aisles of candies in the grocery store.  (how evil!) 

I do love hearts.  I had the most impossible time photographing this window (way too dark on every setting I could think of using).  That's a teal bird sitting on top of a Norfolk pine.

I think I made this heart for MY mom many, many years ago.  (Mama, am I right?)

 Annika and I made a few of these heart fairies using materials we found at home. I saw them at > Let's Explore <.  This particular Valentine is for Flora, Annika's pen pal fairy (she's currently in Mexico- she migrates with the hummingbirds).

Here's Annika's note to you:

 A simple string of hearts on my bookcase (which I'd recently cleared off and paired down):

The heart cookies in the first photo are actually red velvet whoopie pies I made for the girls' classroom parties.  I used the recipe from Annie's Eats....>red velvet whoopie pies recipe<


Do you decorate for St. Patrick's Day????
