{a pretty point}

It's here
the month I wait for all year long
Sweet February
the month of
love and joy
where roses flow freely
and it is OK to
eat chocolate
where sweet indulgences are everywhere

where I look for beautiful romantic treasures
to adore my home
with





to my delight I found one in my daughter's closet
her sweet ballet dress
too lovely to hide away
it's needs to make a
pretty point
and be hung for
eyes to see
because after all
isn't
February
a time to give into
your romantic notions
***

to celebrate my
ultra romantic
frame of mind
I will be posting
a new heart a day
image
just for you
Will you be my Valentine?

Oh yes, for sure!!! I can't wait for your show and tell. Isn't it fun to be on the lookout for Valentine hearts? (that's what I did all last week)

Love the dress, and am so glad you are putting it out. I have an old bowling shirt from my great-uncle hanging in my front entryway. It has sweet little bowling pin buttons and I love it. In the summer, I hang my aunt's bathing suit from the 50's. For the pretty costumes, I wish my girls had been dancers. Not so much fun to hang out hockey equipment, and it doesn't smell as good either!

"It is OK to eat chocolate"...I like the way you think! :)

Ah the month of love! If only it was the month of warmth ~ but perhaps that is the idea ~ to have it be cold outside and snuggle with the one you love inside!
