Also, your buffet/sideboard is such a unique piece and I love the contrast of the walnut brown against the blue wall, too.<br /><br />I used to decorate for Valentine's Day when I first got married, and then again when Liberty was growing up, but I haven't for the past 10 years or so, unless I'm throwing a party for the occasion, in which case I'll do a tablescape and gifts for my guests.<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-25928533593341736782014-01-30T07:27:42.141-08:002014-01-30T07:27:42.141-08:00That is such an interesting custom, Lesley!

(I'm talking about the 50s) As darkness fell a child would wait for a knock on the door. On the doorstep would be a small gift..colouring book crayons, a ball etc. This would happen several times during the evening. Of course the gifts had been bought by our parents, with neighbours taking the part of St Valentine. It always felt magical. I think this delightful custom has disappeared now, and the emphasis is all on cards, flowers, chocs etc for adults.

It was just getting too much to store it all. I do have a garden flag collection, and I like to change it for each season or holiday, so I put up my Valentine's flag the other day.

Last year I made crayon and wax paper hearts with my grandchildren. Put wax paper on ironing board covered with old towel or craft paper. Lay shredded crayon (easy to do with small paring knife) and put wax paper on top. Iron and let cool. Cut out in heart shape and cut small hole in top, use fishing line to hang. They loved it. This year we will make hearts out of fabric. Cut out with pinking shears and sew on outside. Stuff and sew. Not my idea, found it on another blog. Stay warm and Lets be Valentines!
