Happy Valentine's Day

 

It's Valentine's Day

There will be a long walk with friends and dogs and there will be a fire in the fireplace and Biscotti vin Santo.

Fresh out of the oven.

Dear friends, I wish you a very special Valentine's Day.

Had to share this charming book one more time.

"Stories from a time when food, love and music were the essential parts of life ..." (Foreword Keith Floyd)

A few more copies available from Amazon Books

A rich collection of scandalous stories of love and passion

by

Carol Payne

"Doreen dreamt she lay in the Brassicas with her Gypsy Lover..."

"But today she was excited for she was meeting Bertie Floyd and they were going for a walk down by the Tidefork river.  He was going to show her how to tickle a trout..."

"Shortly after this event Betty was packed off to London to stay with her aunt..."

"Queenie grew up to be a smashing looking girl, a bit wild like her mother, a lover of life and men..."

"She came from a poor Cornish family, so poor that Amy was made to wear underwear made out of flour sacks, which were printed with red, bold letters 'THE FINEST FLOUR'..."

"She was a proud plump woman, well respected in the village..."

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

Everyone knows that I love flowers.

But then . . . 

There is that special day 

when I love chocolates best of all.  

Happy Valentine's Day, dear friends.

Happy Valentine's Day

It's a very special day!

It's a day when we can throw caution to the wind 

and 

eat an entire box of chocolates. 

Have a most wonderful Day.

Partial re-post , February 9, 2011

Valentine's Day and Mother's Day coming soon

What to give to a special Friend? 

Maybe a fine, hand made Lace Handkerchief 

in perfect vintage condition.

One more beautiful than the next.

All available in my Etsy shop.

They all come in their individual little cotton gift bags.

 Keep one around for when you need a special gift.

A reminder of gentler times. 

Forgotten patterns of hand made Lace.

This may be the prettiest of them all.
Why not keep it for yourself.

in my Etsy shop.

Happy Valentine's Day!

A chocolate for you.

And a chocolate for me.

Is the champagne on ice?

Wishing you a Grand Valentine's Day!
