i love Valentine's Day.
i love hearts.
i love pinks and reds.
i love all things kitsch.
i love ridiculous window displays.
i love cards that say "be mine"
i love to see people in love.
i love to see women on the street carrying that smile of love.
i love men who make the effort.
i love the word LOVE
It is if you want it to be. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy things. Besides what are they selling? Chocolates, cards and flowers. Arghh come on, you won't break your bank account with these things.
Unfortunately, some people need a little push, others need to be reminded, and some others need time to get in the "mood." Valentine's Day is just as good excuse as any other. Beside how many days of the year are you truly romantic and dedicated to the idea of love or friendship??

| sorry about this picture, it is in a very dark place of this apartment |
So starting on wednesday I will post each day (on my usual posting days that is) a heart. A handmade heart. Paper, cloth, clay, anything.
Maybe, just maybe by the time we reach Valentine's Day, you will be in the mood for love (have you seen it??). Anyway, I hope you do get bitten by the love bug.
14 days of hearts here we go!
Be well.
Giova

Love your idea a month of love and collection of hearts - you are very inspiring :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, it means a lot to me!
DeleteDear Giova
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea to make a heart every day until Valentine's Day.
I really like your thoughts about hearts and love.
Do I see one of my dotted leaves on your wall? :-)
Anyway, you have a lovely collection of hearts!
Of course it is, I love it!
DeleteThanks a bunch Emilie, I'm happy you like the idea ;)
Such a sweet idea! I hope I'll get bitten by the love bug, because even though I love the shape of a heart (and chocolate and cards), I've never celebrated Valentine's Day with my sweetheart ;)
ReplyDeleteI think you've already been bitten by the love bug, now you just have to celebrate it!!
ReplyDeleteI love hearts as well!!! And love handmade ones as well!!! Please email me your addy and I will send you one of my felt embroider hearts - would you like one? :)
ReplyDeleteOf course I could never say no to a heart ;)
ReplyDeleteMy email is on the top part of the blog, thank you!!
Very nicely said Gio. Down with the Valentine's Day haters! And I seriously love all of your hearts. I'll have to send one along for your collection soon. jx
ReplyDeleteAnother here who loves hearts in all their variety. I did a much less crafty heart project than yours several years ago on my blog. It starts at https://dancingbeastie.wordpress.com/2010/02/01/i-heart-february/ . You can follow the rest through 'hearts' in the tag cloud if you want, though it's more about the castle than about crafting I'm afraid! (Kate from Paperlove)
ReplyDeleteI just went through all of heart collection. I love it!! Makes me happy to know you love hearts and Valentine's :)

Such a refreshing take on Valentine's Day! I love how you’ve focused on self-love and personal growth in your manifesto. It's a reminder that prioritizing ourselves, whether in relationships or even in our careers, is so important. Speaking of growth, this approach can be applied to Career Advice too—taking time for self-reflection and setting personal goals can really enhance both our personal and professional lives.
