Some of my fondest memories of Valentines Day, go way back, ok, way, way back to my younger years, when all the children in elementary school would exchange valentine cards.....I remember I was so smitten with one little boy in Kindergarten, his name was Kenny, that I once chased him around the big round table and planted a big kiss on him. He didn't much appreciate that! But I still remember it like it was yesterday.... It was a short lived romance, by the time first grade rolled around I turned my sights on another cutie...oh, yeah, back to the cards....they were so cute. Do kids still do that today?
I love Valentine's day. Everything is just so pretty! cookies and cakes and hearts and flowers. One year when I was single in high school my dad came to one of my games and brought me roses and a big box of chocolates with the cover designed as a tuxedo shirt. Remember those? so 80's! Anyway, he was my hero for giving me a nice V-day surprise when I wasn't expecting anything. Today was actually a good one. I just made a card for the hubby with baby Clare. We tried to do a hand-print but it didn't work out so well. She needed a bath afterwards. : )
Okay, I have to enter this since it looks like I might have a chance! ha! Just happened upon your blog...trying to see if you were another Liz I know. Anyway, one of my favorite Valentine's memories is the first one my husband and I had together when we were dating. It was also our first kiss....the first of thousands since, I'm sure!! :)

I love your blog, so many wonderful pictures to look at. I read it once and now I'm going back to re-read it to make sure I haven't missed anything! Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad you posted on the P&R board, or I would have missed out on your blog. I love it!! It's too bad I'm married with children, or I'd love to move into that exquisite little apartment upstairs of the shop:)
My fondest Valentine memories are when I was young. Every year, my Dad would buy all of his girls (there were five of us) Valentines and have them sitting out on the table in the morning before he went to work. It still chokes me up to think about it. It was like Christmas. He suffers from dimentia now, but he still knows me most of the time:) I'm Barb (starlove5) from the P&R board.
Hi Liz, well this is the first time i have visited your blog, but won't be the last...you'll be in my 'favourites' now..lol...
Love the picture of President Lincoln..and it is nice to know we share something..he was born on the 12th Feb, which is our wedding anniversary..
Love your blog & i'll certainly be popping back.

Your store and your blog look so cozy. How amazing to have n historic property. What is it about New England that just gives me that warm, cozy feeling. I'm so comfortable with the well crafted and practical items of the past. Something about the decor and the colors used makes me yearn for that simpler time. As the Shakers stressed, "Simplify."
I really like the wreath. And can't wait to see if I win.
And that apartment is perfect too bad I'm not in need for one.

I was in the store today and I just love it! I could have spent hours just browsing through the tons of beautiful items if it hadn't been for my husband and daughter tagging along! Now I know the trick is to visit the store ALONE! I've enjoyed reading the blog and I will be back again!
What beautiful Laveneder- great blog site also- glad I stopped by!
