I'm in the Mood for Love

Do you remember that song that Alfalfa sang to Darla in the Little Rascals? I used to love that show as a kid. With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, my thoughts have been turning more and more to love, and family. I keep thinking I will make some vintage inspired valentines or some kind of heart craft, but laziness is keeping me from doing so.

This time last year I participated in my very first swap. It was called the itty bitty valentine swap. We were partnered up and were suppose to make some kind of valentine no more than 3 x 3 inches. I had such a fun time stretching my creative muscles making mine. I actually made four instead of one. All different. I apologize to those of you who have seen these before, but since I haven't been very creative lately, I will share them again.

Here are a few more Valentine's inspired images I found around my house that make me smile.

The sweetest heart pillow made especially for me by Becky at Sweet Cottage Dreams. She is going through a really tough time right now. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Little X and O letters I purchased at Monticello recently.

I was taking apart a vintage floral hat and a few petals fell off that look just like pink hearts. So sweet.

Pretty mother of pearl heart necklace I got from my friend Susan at the Clark County Antique Show last year.

I begged my Mom to give me these two cuties and she finally did. Just looking at them makes me happy.

Four rhinestone heart pins I found this week at Value Village.

My wedding topper collection is a must add to my images of love.

And finally, love birds times two. The picture of me and my hubby was taken in 1987 or 1988, can't remember, but I do remember that it was the first time my family in California met him.

That's it for now. I'll be back later with a fun recipe, and will share some of my favorite vintage valentines. Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
