My Heart's Message -Postcard Friendship Friday #392

Isn't this a charming vintage Valentines Day postcard?  I adore the imaginative artwork which these talented artists of old left behind for us.  I am inspired when I see these sweet old postcards--the color, grace and beauty which some people deem corny, or old fashioned, I find to be refreshing!

It is hard to believe this will be the third Valentine's Day without my Beloved.  Yet I see Alan's touches all over my home and they make me smile.  I do miss him, but Spring is just around the corner bring with it all the hope and beauty of renewed life.

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Under a Red Umbrella -Guest Heart Thursday

After weeks of sunshine it is stormy and grey today.  I didn't realize how much, as a native Oregonian, I have missed the clouds and rain!  It should be gone by tomorrow, but we've had some soakers already today.

I thought this postcard perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.  Truly it IS nice to have a sweetheart!

Morning Glory Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

In Victorian times, flowers were given various meanings.  One could know the nature of a lover's feelings by the bouquet he sent.  The Morning Glory came to symbolize great affection. These beautiful flowers blossom in the morning, but die by nightfall.  Some were convinced they represented the fleeting nature of love.  Yet because the vine produces new flowers every day during its growth season, it also came to represent the renewable aspects of romance and the heart.  

In Chinese folklore, the Morning Glory represents a single day for lovers to meet. Here's something else I didn't know--these beautiful blooms also represent the month of September and 11th wedding anniversaries!

Have a wonderful day!  Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
