Touches of Pink and Red

I've always loved Valentine's Day. Isn't it such a wonderful day when you're in elementary school? What fun to pick out a box of Valentines at the store and then pretend not to enjoy passing them out to all the boys in your class! The first year I taught school, I had to pinch myself when I realized that I would be organizing my own Valentine parties. And how could I resist all the yummy chocolate delivered to my desk from at least 25 students? Oh, day of all days!

Packing up Christmas is always difficult for me. It's so refreshing to add touches of pretty pink and bright red around the house after the gray and gloom of January.

I don't decorate for Valentine's Day only because... actually I don't know why.

I LOOOOVED Vday in elementary school. Such great memories. I miss grade school sometimes. That pitcher is REALLY cute!

Jamie,

The white pitcher is from Martha Stewart's collection at KMart!

Wow! I can't believe that pitcher is from K-Mart! K-Mart must have changed since I've left the US! :)
So, tell me honestly, did I answer your question in my posts this week? I hope I did!
Oh, and you said your hubby went to Multnomah....do you live near there? I'm from (and my family lives) close to there...didn't know if I might be able to meet you when I'm back in the States. :)
Blessings,
Joy

Hi!

I just found your blog the other day and I have really enjoyed reading through it. You have great ideas! And, I have to say, I love that white pitcher, too! :)

Have a wonderful weekend!
