My Favourite Valentines Cards

Not on the high street have some marvellous Valentines cards available at the moment! I discovered so many cards that I liked I truly had to generate collages of them all so I did not overload you with pictures.
I cannot determine which one particular is my favourite out of these 4!
The card with the removable 6″x4″ print is an outstanding thought, you could frame it right after! The cross stitch ‘je t’;aime’; card could also be stuck up on the wall! Really there is no explanation why you couldn’;t show any of these lovely cards all year round.
The grammar card is my favourite. I am a bit of a grammar nazi. Especially with the youth of nowadays who don’;t know the difference amongst the two. I also like the pants doodle ^_^
The paper reduce out card is so impressive! It would requite so much patience, I definitely do not possess such an attribute!
I am really impressed with the higher good quality of Valentines cards that are accessible these days! I by no means actually deal with Valentines to be truthful but I know I’;m in the minority so I thought I would go browsing for some quirky little cards for your other half! My favourite is this a single at the bottom ^_^

My Trellis Room Divider

I want to show you my special room divider. It's a trellis I bought many years ago from a store going out of business and I just had to have it! You know the feeling!! ;-)

Anyway, I got it for a song and it has served we well for photo shoots and now as a divider between living room and dining area. On it hangs gifts, paintings of roses special women have given me, snippets of things I just love looking at, hankies, pieces of vintage lace I've found over the years and not known what to do with because there isn't much left of it, cards, tags, special little ornaments that have been given to me or I've bought for their beauty and "eye candy", lovely little envelopes, scrap paper, a fan, hearts, pretty little note cards, paper roses, seed packets (YES! seed packets that I considered beautiful enough to hang), a decoupaged sign I made many years ago for hubby and me, even some lovely business cards from people I buy from, a little gorgeous beaded lampshade I don't have a lamp for - yet, a picture of the cheese factory in Pleasanton, Ca. where we used to go for lunch sometimes, ribbons and just about anything I consider too beautiful to throw away.

I love beautiful things as you've probably heard me say before. My eyes feast upon them on a daily basis and it makes my heart sing and to be happy. I'm a happy and positive person but I am happier when I can view lovely things. They don't have to be expensive; indeed, most of the things I have on the trellis or in my home aren't expensive but ohhhh the joy they bring me!!!! Just too much for the heart to describe.

So enjoy looking at these things and I hope they make your heart sing today. Try your own "trellis", whatever that may actually be! Celebrate the blessings of your life!!

There are many pictures of this and I hope you enlarge each one to fully view everything.
