Be My Valentine
Once upon a time a little girl would diligently write all her friends
names on her Valentine card envelopes the night before the big day.
The agonizing decision was to sign the card with her own name
or leave a mystery message.
Neatly packaged she would then tuck them in her school bag
and wait for the moment of the day when she could place them in her friends
personally made Valentine Box which sat neatly on their school desk.
There were giggles and fleeting glances as girls and boys
tried to guess who might place them in their box.
Once the mission was completed, children tucked the boxes under their arms
and made their way home to secretly open these little red and white gems.
If you were lucky, one may not be signed which would then send you
and your friends into squeals of delight while you tried to
determine who the lucky fellow might be.
Such lovely memories...
Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for not cutting me out of your blog re my LV comments !!!! haha.
What lovely memories you have of Valentines Day as a young girl.
We never celebrated it much at school and the school definitely didn't encourage it. The cards are so sweet.
Have a wonderful, loving weekend, Jeanne. XXXX

Lovely memories Jeanne & a glimpse of the authenticity of the day in times gone by - unlike today as witnessed in quite a few of the shops I visited yesterday - a nasty cornucopia of 'stuff' designed only to increase the profit margins of the companies in China who produced them...(Oh dear, that sounds churlish, don't mean to be cynical!!) Hope you are having a wonderful day & enjoying your lovely new candles! Susie x
