I'm still feeling a bit "lost in time", after weeks of rather monotonous winter weather.
For some reason (or rather - no reason), I've been thinking all week that on Friday it will be Valentine's Day - here in Sweden known as Alla Hjärtans Dag = All Hearts' Day" ... Only to suddenly realise, just as I started preparing this post today, that no, that's not until Saturday!
But I decided to go ahead and post this for Friday anyway. Who knows - the need for some extra heartfelt good wishes might perhaps be even bigger on Friday the 13th...!
I've never really been in the habit of doing a lot extra of decorations especially for All Hearts' Day. But I put a table runner with embroidered hearts on the living room table...
... and hung some red hearts on the branches in the vase on the old chest in the same room.
That vase, by the way, is really just plain brown, but in the photo below it has been given an interesting striped pattern by the sun shining in through the blinds in the window! Which just goes to show that there's always something new to discover, if one looks hard enough.
And on that note, I wish you good luck both for the 13th and the 14th.
And keep your hearts as well as your eyes open to notice the details around you!

The botanical display in the plain stripey brown vase looks great - proving that you do not need fresh flowers to bring the living, natural world into our homes.
ReplyDeleteI love your Valentine tree. And the vase really looks like it is striped.
