Happy Valentine’s Day!
I typically start with the candy counter.. It’s an easy place to add color, whimsy and keep a house that four cats and three dogs don’t ruin.
Every Valentines Day my mom and sister and I get together so we can make homemade cards for each other..
I repurpose old Victorian heart motif jewelry for the loved ones in my life. Here is an old locket, heart shaped, and holding loved ones from today and those from many decades ago. I never remove the old photos,, it just seems to cruel to erase them, I just add the new ones on top and we share a place with each other.
I cherish this old garnet and “LOVE” locket.
I also collect old Valentines. The fragile paper cut outs, the flowers, birds and butterflies. All usually mounted on thick embossed card stock,
My moms Valentine. Hand colored watercolor in new wood frame.
Found at a yard sale the figurines are sweet, charming and easy ornaments. This pair set me back 5 bucks.. They date from early 1900.
A well loved staffordshire cat. Once in the hundreds of dollars they are increasingly found under 10.
My Valentine of years ago. Layered paper, doily, ribbon and old scrapbook fragments.
Wishing you all a year of love and peace and joy. ❤️ Krista
