Valentine’s Day


Valentine’s Day

Have you heard the diatribe regarding the commerciality of Valentine’s Day?  Do you buy into this? (No pun intended)  Sure: Valentine’s Day is a home-run for the florist.  Sure: You should and do love your Valentine the other 364 days of the year.  Sure (and my personal favorite): This holiday often works out best for the ladies (those with a man, that is)(run from the  man who ever says this!).  But, despite the cynical ridiculing of the day, it remains one of my favorite holidays, if, for no other reason, the decorations!  There is so much fun to be had. 

Vintage blocks (MiaBooo Etsy Shop), a note (LemonDropPapers Etsy Shop) to send, ribbon (TheLonelyHeart Etsy Shop) to grace a “happy” for your Valentine, or a good wreath (WreathIncGifting Etsy Shop), all remind me of why I love the holiday.  Its decorations are happy, whimsical, and lighthearted.

Now, you’ve seen my decorations before (last year), but, I wanted to show you a recent addition (see arrow below).  This addition has easily become my favorite.  Also, had to show you the spontaneous public art that pops up in downtown Orlando—a basket of flowers and hearts to accompany your gaze of Lake Davis.
