Isn't it nice to have a special day to tell someone you love them? Well, I say it every day and you probably do too but I like this sweet holiday anyway!
Doesn't it bring back memories of taking little Valentines to school and sharing them with friends. We took a shoe box to bring home our Valentines. And everyone took part. I always loved the pretty card the teacher gave us. And we had a Valentine cookie and a little cup of sugary fruit juice.
It's fun to decorate just a little....
and enjoy this month!
I hope you are having a good week. The weather here in Florida is like summertime!
Hubby even grilled bacon and we made BLTs. We also have fresh Florida strawberries in season and I've been putting slices on my oatmeal and making hubby strawberry milkshakes...with love.
Have a beautiful day!
Will you be my Valentine?
I’m joining Thankful Thursdays.

Hello,
I remember the shoebook of Valentine's Day card from my early school days. Pretty cards and the BLT looks yummy. Happy Valentine's Day to you. Wishing you a happy day!
Diane, What an adorable vignette. That little mailbox is the sweetest. I remember school day parties. Blessings to you and Ron for a beautiful Valentine's Day. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
This made me smile this morning Diane! You are so talented at putting together sweet vignettes.
Those sweet Valentines and the doll brought back so many memories. I always made my Valentines, and cut apart bits of the ones I received the year before...glued and pasted my little heart out every year...and it was so much fun, because every one was different!
Such a sweet post, thanks for the memories! Sandi
...it's good to see that you are making your day special.
So cute! A sweet Valentine’s Day to you!
How beautiful.
I always loved the old Valentines from the 50's and their artwork.
Happy Valentines Day to you too.
We were just talking about Valentines day at work. We were saying how fun it used to be to have the parties at school and the decorated boxes we made.
Your BLT looks delicious.
Yes I will! What a cute Valentine post, Diane. I remember the Valentines that we gave out at school, and we used to use the paper bags and decorated them. I chuckled when you mentioned the shoe boxes. Your little Valentine area is so cute - love that cart and mailbox and sweet doll. And the vintage Valentines are delightful. Your BLT and strawberry milkshakes sound delicious. Hope you have a beautiful Valentine's Day, dear friend. : )

I love the Valentines. I teach at a primary school and tomorrow is a big day! Cards to exchange and parties to be had. Thanks for linking up.
Love your pretty Valentine post, so pretty and creative!! You have your doll dressed up so pretty and her there with the little mailbox and the valentines.....just love it. Oh my gosh those sandwiches LOOK SO TASTY....i am on my way!---ha ha LOL. I love BLT'S. Could eat one every day nearly. Hope you have a real nice valentines day my friend!! Hugs.
I very much enjoyed this day when I was teaching!
I remember writing out all the Valentine cards for classmates too many years ago. :)
Oh I LOVE your Valentine's mailbox and your sweet doll all ready for Valentine's Day. I also love remembering how Valentine's day was when we were kids, with the shoe box for our little cards at school. That was always such fun. "Those were the days, my friend...we thought they'd never end!!"
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Decorated shoe boxes and those silly little valentines were always so much fun in grade school. I love your vinette with the doll and mailbox. I need to get to the farmer's market for more strawberries. So good this time of year. The Strawberry Festival starts in a week or so. We haven't been in years. It is so crowded and too far from parking to the festival - then more walking. Maybe next year with both knees done!!
Wonderful Valentine decorations! Hubby's BLT looks amazing and has given me an idea for our next meal, thank you for that :) Happy Valentine's Day!
Your little mailbox is so darned cute, I just love it!
I also remember making mailboxes out of shoeboxes and giving and receiving Valentine's. I loved seeing your vintage cards, so sweet. Oh and those BLT's "YUM".
Happy Valentine's Day.
I just knew you would have the cutest vignettes for Valentine's Day!
I do remember the exchanging of cards in school but your memory is much sharper than mine! Happy Valentine's Day to you!
Your doll is so pretty and reminds me of my sister-in-law and my niece. I love the cute mailbox and cards. I hope you have a happy Valentine's Day beautiful lady. :)
