I {heart} you

Many thanks to all the greeting card companies we've got ourselves this one day in the whole, entire year that's earmarked for big red hearts....what we love, why we love, how we love and who we love....hearts and love. Love and hearts.

I love my family and my friends beyond words but on a more shallow level I also covet many things. Things that make my smile or feel good that are already in my possession....things that I know I can't take with me when that final day comes but until then, j'adore ces choses:
