Happy Valentine's Day And White Wednesday



Sending love from my home, my studio and my heart.....








Love this sweet piece of lace that my hubby brought back from Belgium for me...



One of my handmade Valentine's tags...

I finally got some of those soap roses from the Dollar Store that everyone has been raving about....


....they did not disappoint...

...sweetly-smelling and lovely!


Some "studio love"...






A most special gift....


...from a special kindred spirit (more of the story to come).

And my beloved mother and father .....

...I miss you Dad...my 1st "Valentine."

I am linking up to Kathleen's Faded Charm Cottage for more LOVEly whites!

Happy Valentine's Day!

  12. Michelle,

    A very Happy Valentines Day to you as well.

    I have been looking at the lovely photo
    of your Mom and Dad...but
    I don't know if it is because of my
    poor eyesight or what...
    but, the lighter part of the photo
    over each of your parents shoulders
    in the background look like
    "wings" to me. :)

    Beautiful photos!!


    Love and Blessings,

    Susan

  18. oh my, every photo more beautiful than the last! I had not read about the dollar store soap, so it smells good too? They are so pretty. I have to tell you that when I saw the detail of the little crocheted piece that your husband brought back for you I let out a big awwwwww. How sweet for him to bring something so special to you and to take the time to find something that is so you. Happy Valentines Day! t.xoxooxox
