{happy hearts to you}

sending you all oooooodles of love today

thinking of you as I have my

 morning cup of tea

my girls and I  made a few of these

 tea love bags

to give to those we

 L*O*V*E

~wish I could send you all one~

Happy Valentine's Day

hope your day is blissful in every way

{xox always}

{dear heart}

 sweet little heart

buntings my daughter made me

hang over my kitchen chairs

{my turquoise 50's diner chair and my pink happy chair}

reminding me what truly matters

{xox always}

{a scoop of love}

Whatever you call your "sweeties"

make sure you spoil them rotten

with a scoop of love from your

 own heart

happy weekend
{my little red cinnamon hearts that sit on my table} 

{xox}

{tying up my apron}

it's time to make another batch of these

don't you love the little wax-paper bags I put them in?

so fast and easy to stitch up with a sewing machine

Make the best of your heart days..... Valentine's Day will be here soon

{pink romance}

some of my pinks just for you

 for the romantic month of  February

~

"pink is the colour of romance

and a friend tells me

that the girl with the 

pink dress

at the party is the one who is

selected for each dance"

{xox always}

{finding a smile}

it doesn't take much to make me smile

and I found one yesterday

at my local Starbucks

when I was handed my tea in one of their adorable

Valentine cups

celebrate everylove

{now how adorable is that?}

I just could not throw this cup away.......

so it now sits on my kitchen cupboard with a little silver lid

filled with

cinnamon hearts

thanks for the smile Starbucks

xox

happy new week to you all

{what truly counts}

love,
genuine love,
makes people good

my heart cake......the good....the bad...and the ugly

happy heart's day

ta da

my heart cake as promised

the good....

the outside

the individual slices




the bad...
not so" heart like" when looking at it from this angle
I call it my wonky square heart

{but it does look like lips...... kiss cake?}

the UGLY......
first attempt making the white cake
{which should of been the easiest part}
I failed miserably
could not get the cake out of the
pans without it
breaking into pieces
but
second attempt I got it right

my favorite part....the red velvet

Happy Valentine's Day

loving red

my friday pretties

red clogs & hearts

delightfully sweet

find the clogs here

and more friday pretties here

did you know that the colour

*red*

increases enthusiasm

stimulates energy

encourages confidence

and

helps us feel a sense of protection

from fears and anxieties

Why am I not wearing red everyday of the week?

Happy Friday

a thing called L*O*V*E

we are all a little weird

and life's a little weird,

and when we find someone

whose weirdness is compatible with ours,

we join up with them

and

fall in mutual weirdness

and call it love

{unknown}

{having a bit of fun with my pink drinking straws......}

I do not understand

how anyone

can live

without

some small

place of

enchantment

to turn to

{dancing paper hearts.....}

these "heartbeats" that hang by my computer
are constantly in motion..... fluttering... dancing....reflecting the light....
reminding me of
you.....
you my sweet friends
are little "heartbeats" that are always with me
encouraging...loving...giving....caring...
what more could I ask for
this Valentine's Day?
thank you from the bottom {and top} of MY HEART
