St. Valentine's Day


For the past couple of years, I have been collecting red and green samplers. The green in most of them is more of a khaki, a color that is a favorite of mine.


I didn't really do a lot of decorating for St. Valentine's Day. I did, however, pull out my samplers, and a few hearts, and an antique strawberry pin cushion. 


This sweet couple on horseback is an illustration from an early English primer...Parts of Speech. 


Hoping you have a wonderful Valentine's Day...spent with those you love...that a posy or two finds it's way to your table, as well as sufficient chocolate to make you smile...and a little candlelight too.

Enjoy the day,

  2. Robyn,
    As always, your decorating is beautiful. Love the samplers. I am still kicking myself for the red/green sampler I passed on last fall and by the time I decided I was going to buy it, friend Bobbie already owned it. Darn. I know, the time to buy an antique is right when you see it.
    Happy Valentine's Day.
    Hugs : )
