Mr. Fun and I were planning to have a little dinner party tonight.....but NOoooo. The Winter Warlock has struck us down - again. We're expecting another horrid storm late tonight into tomorrow.
I brought in my outdoor urns to decorate. I don't know if/when they will ever be able to be back outside where they belong.
Vintage Valentine postcards among the china.
Children's valentines from the 50s.
Two of these are signed by my mother. I found them among my grandmothers things after she passed away.
My dear friend, Jill, made me this lovely Valentine. We were both married on February 14, 1987. I've missed her so much this week.
These are chocolate box shadow boxes I made years ago.
Today marks our 28th Wedding Anniversary. What children we were! We were married during a horrid winter storm in Chicago. You can see another bad Valentines storm On this post here from 2013.
My friend, Rachael, of Blue Mountain Daisy shared her incredibly beautiful and touching wedding in her post today. A perfect Valentines Story.
Of course I always have this goof for a chocolate valentine too -
Happy Valentines Day! (sort of) from the winter storm capitol.
xoxo
Happy Valentines day and Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Sorry your friends can't celebrate with you today.
ReplyDeleteHow much snow do you have? Our daughter lives in Boston and they have over seven feet of snow on the ground and are going to be hit by another blizzard tonight through tomorrow! I wonder when it will end and what will happen when it all melts.
At least we quilters don't have any problem finding something to do while snowbound.
I'm sorry your dinner plans aren't going to work out :0( such a beautiful post otherwise. Especially love your vintage Valentine's - they remind me of the ones I received in the 70's from my school friends :0) How very special to have those ones from your Mom to your Grandma!
