Happy Valentines Day Everyone!
Enjoy the photos.
Not too much decorating going on here. (Sadly I am too busy). But I did a little, especially for Barbara. LOVE YOU!

| Dancing Dogs, complete with hats, tutu, and band. With old cane dog head. |
 |
| My husbands nautical light, and photo of our dog, Charlie playing in the grass, framed in old tramp art frame. |
 |
| "Mellomints" candy tin. Great color, I love the old candy tins. |
 |
| Antique embroidered hankie from my BFF Linda, with a sterling silver note pad. Inside it says "I love you, BOO." Found at Baltimore Antique Show 2009. I love the thistles around the cover. |
 |
| Antique buttons from Lindas store. I often leave the price tags on because it reminds me of her, and her wonderful store. |
 |
| 2011 Christmas gift from my husband, from our good friends, (and also glorious antique dealers) Stephen and Claudia |
 |
| Trying to set a "festive scene" and there's Wren in the middle of it, as always. |
 |
| My favorite window to decorate. The "non-matching jar" in the back is new and full of my husbands favorite candy (that they do not make in valentines day colors, almond M&M's) |
 |
| Top desk shelf. The things I keep behind glass and out of Wrens paws. |
 |
| I bought a whole collection of these little snuff jars from another of my favorite antique dealers in Woodstock, Va. (also where my sister Diedra lives). Barbara, at Springhouse Antiques, has some of the best early high quality furniture, childrens toys, jewelry, and quilts you can find. She also just adopted a beautiful (adult, thank-you for rescuing him) German Shepherd. |

| Snuff box with antique old watch now turned locket. Front has a 1940's cat, and back is engraved "CAT." This is "as found," so naturally I couldn't resist it. Small "LOVE" locket from Timonium Antique Show |

| Dog celluloid? plastic? cane head with enameled locket bracelet from York Show |
