Valentine's Day is such a great holiday... nothing more preceious than showing your preferencefor others in love...
As a third grade teacher, our classes looked forward to making the valentine box,
the best one I could find (HEHEHE) ours were always much better!
then in later years creating their own puppy dog valentine holder made out of 2 paper plates and construction paper...
the valentine bulletin boards bedecked in red and pink hearts and paper doilies to present our best penmanship....
alas, so few classes hold lovely penmanship of value anymore!
But valentine's day is an expression of all things lovely...
roses.... petit fours..... lace..... valentines'
SO now well into my sixties, I enjoy the valentine memories in my heart over a warming cup of tea!
My collection of red transferwear is a hodgepodege.... but I love finding choice pieces in consignment /thrift shops.

What a lovely Valentine post! I love Spode china! Such a pretty pattern. I remember doing Valentine boxes when I taught kindergarten. Such fun for everyone! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

What sweet memories you have. I agree it is a shame about good penmanship falling by the wayside. When I was a girl I always enjoyed writing and I won prizes for it. Unfortunately my hands no longer work like they used to and holding a pen has become a chore rather than a delight. I adore your red transferware! I have a blue Spode teacup in that same pattern. I love your red! So very pretty! I like your toile tablecloth too. Thank you for sharing and joining me for tea today and have a lovely week.

Your Spode cup is lovely! While I appreciate the convenience of e-mail, I enjoy sending handwritten cards/letters to friends and family who are always delighted to receive "fun" snail mail.
ReplyDeleteHi: That is the best way to get tea cups you love. That's the only way I buy tea cups. I love the fun of hunting. Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Martha
