I adore hearts and heart shaped things and usually decorate more extensively for Valentine's Day because of it. This year though there just hasn't been time due to all the work entailed in painting and getting new carpet installed in the master bedroom (more on that in another post down the line) But I do have a few hearts that are always out and some that I just had to bring out and I'd like to share them with you on this Valentine's Day 2012.
goodies that are kept out all year long:

items that are available in my shoppe:

hooked rug mat made by Stephanie of
Old Colony Primitives:

wall box display, kept this way throughout the year, with a wee spool doll made by Karen of
Olde Cottage Primitives:

heart mold found in an antique shoppe several years ago that is hung year 'round:

the next three things are goodies handmade by Barbara of
Turkey Hollow Folk Art that I've collected over several years, the first being the newest addition:



a bowl full of yummy pinkeeps, some made by me from a
Country Rustic Primitives pattern, one made by Susan of
Olde Threads, one made by Wendy of
Pineberry Lane, a coverlet heart from
The Bean House Store, along with a doll made by Jenn of
Rabbit Hill Primitives and my latest purchase is the heart shaped fabric covered box with the wee kitty also made by Jenn, ain't it cute?

That about does it for this year's Valentines. On Saturday we had a wee burst of snow! If you know me, you know that I love winter with a passion and this winter has been almost nonexistent so to have these few flakes fall was almost a miracle!

I am going to leave you with a picture from one of my all time favorite movies of one of the most romantic couples, in my book anyway, of all time, Miss Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler!

Happy Valentine's Day!
