Random Hearts



What's a blogger to do who has no Valentine's decor? 
I looked around the house for random hearts.
 I found three.




The cookies count as one. 
The terrier has the most darling hearts don't you think? 
A man gave him to me after Joe and I dug through his barn for treasure. 
The kindness of strangers is always beautiful.



love is patient and kind

      No, something artificial. I have no idea where I got it Rosemary. Probably an estate sale for a buck.

    I love the first heart on those pretty red and white dishes. I don't decorate for Valentines Day either. I should because I'm having circle here the day before.

    Your terrier is might cute. I think I just started decorating for Valentine's Day about five years ago. It's my niece's favorite holiday and she sort of got me addicted to vintage Valentine's and such.

    Hi Olive,
    Thanks for stopping by my Blog and following me on Instagram! Yes, I have Chrome as a browser and still I have issues with Blogger going on 5 days now. But, I'm not the only one with this tech problem. Eeek, it will be fixed. I have to stay positive. You will laugh because before this incident I had no inspiration to post. Now, that I do.. I can't. I guess there is more things in life to be worried about. I love the green chair in your previous post. My favorite color. Thank you for the advice!!
    Have a great night,
    Liz

    I know what you mean about not having any Valentine decor...me either. Is the heart with the tartan ribbon an ornament, or something yummy to eat? It's making my mouth water. It reminds me of those sour candies. :)
    Cute dog and what a nice thing for the man to give the dog to you.

    OH I don't have my Valentine 's out and about my house.
    Definitely will have to dig a couple out tonight when I get home

    Your heart looks good enough to eat and of course looks great on your red & white transferware dishes
