Better picture of the cardinal.
A few other hearts around the house. I took these pictures this time last year.
This is a little handmade Valentine I found in with some vintage valentine cards in an antique store many years ago. When I opened it, I immediately recognized the name of the person who made the card. The store owner gave it to me. My Aunt made it when she was a very young child (she said probably first grade). She past away several years ago and was in her 90's.
Be sure and visit Laurie to see what she and the other participants have to share with us. Thank you Laurie for hosting this fun event.

I've been looking for one of those topiaries - it's so pretty. Is the jewelry all yours? They are beautiful. What a great story about your aunt's V'tine card! Wonderful post for the party! Thank you so much for participating. laurie
Glenda-I cannot believe you ran across a card made by your aunt!!! That was surely meant to be! Love your topiary. You did just fine for a girl who says she doesn't decorate! Love your jewelery too! Happy Valentine's day friend!
Your jewelry is so pretty and that heart topiary is so lovely! Lovely hearts!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love all the jewelry, especially the onyx heart pin. Cute ivy topiary too.
Glenda, love the ivy and the jewelry is so pretty.
Happy Valentines,

Breath taking! What a beautiful topiary and so many hearts..I love cardinals as they have stolen my heart.
How sweet of the antique shop to let you have your aunt's valentine. And who would have thought they would find a childhood memory from a loved one like that. Beautiful jewelry. Rosie
I adore your heart topiary! I have a little thing for topiaries;)!
All of your other heart decorations are darling...so festive and perfect for the occasion!
Happy Valentine's Day!
XOXO

How sweet and special to have a valentine from your grandmother. Enjoy your topiary. I have two in my centerpiece on my table. They are so pretty.
I think that is amazing that you found your aunt's valentine after all these years. What a wonderful treasure you have.
This is just lovely - love the pretty topiary and to find your aunt's valentine from years ago - now how special is that?
All very pretty hearts!

See, you really DO decorate for Valentine's Day, but you just didn't know it! I love your topiary, and all of the sweet heart-shaped jewelry, and I think that' so amazing that you found your aunt's valentine. It was definitely meant to be!
This is a beautiful post. I love the topiary and the jewelry is so pretty.

Your cute topiary has got me wishing I had a Cracker Barrel nearby. :)
Such beautiful hearts here! Very pretty indeed. Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day! What a great story about the valentine! I love your topiary! Hope you're feeling a little better! Aren't you glad we missed more snow?! God Bless! Lauralu
Would it be cliched to say...sweet decorations?
Your topiary heart is beautiful...great deal on it, too! I love the bright little cardinal. You have some pretty jewelry there as well. I don't decorate for Valentine's Day either, but once I started looking around and being creative, it fell into place. Maybe I just wanted to go to a party really bad! lol!!

Love your darling heart topiary! I had a real one once but nothing green survives around here...at least not inside. LOL
Happy Valentine's Day!
That topiary is great!
Happy Valentine's Day!

I had a heart shaped topiary once, but my brown thumb killed it. LOL I am trying to grow more plants these days and am having a better time at it. I love your vintage Valentine that belonged to your Aunt. How fun to have it. I have been able to visit some friends lately- Mr. S is not needing quite as much attention as he had been. Yea! Things are going better and I actually have some time for myself these days. Hope to be back again soon. hugs, Sue
I always love seeing your jewelry, it is so pretty. Your topiary stole my heart. Happy Valentine's Day hugs ~lynne~
Oh what a sweet story! What a lucky find!
Love the blue heart necklace/bracelet ... I'd definitely wear it!
Have a beautiful week, Glenda!
