I adore giving and getting Valentine cards. I remember as a child lingering in the holiday aisle at the store, agonizing over which box of cards to buy. Then when I finally made my decision, I wanted my mother to rush me home, so I could fill each and everyone of them out, immediately.
I could hardly wait until the Valentine class party, so I could drop a heartfelt sentiment into every mail sack that was neatly taped to the chalk tray of the blackboard at the front of the room.
I loved taking my stuffed paper sack and sorting through the various cards from my classmates.
I was even surprised once in the second grade with a small box of conversation hearts and on the back was a small metal ring taped to it. This, from a boy that I was quite smitten with, and oh, how my heart leaped to know he was smitten with me too. This had to be true love, or so I thought. I wore that little ring forever, despite the fact, it always turned my finger green.
Alas, my adoration for this romantic holiday continues even today. I enjoy pondering and planning just how to best surprise the Valentine recipients in my life.



I also purchased tickets to a Saxophone concert on the evening of 14th called "A Night of Romantic Sax". Such a charming name for the concert. The event is sponsored by a local college, and the performing musicians are trying to raise funds for a trip, so it is a bonus all the money will go to a good cause.

Each one is printed on glossy finish, professional grade paper using fade-resistant, archival inks. This special artwork comes surrounded by a 10" x 10" white double matte, signed, numbered, and sealed in a clear protective sleeve accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
A wonderful ode to love and nature, ready to inspire any heart!
Happy Valentine's Day!
