Vintage Valentine

I've been going through old photos lately and came across this one of me as a little girl.  I've hardly changed a bit - lol! 

I found one of my mother that I especially love.  This is her high school graduation picture.  When I was a little girl my grandmother had this photo in her bedroom and I thought my mother looked so glamorous!

I have Mom's old charm bracelet, which is a collection of hearts.  When she was a girl all the girls had them and they would give each other heart charms with their names or initials engraved on the back, as a token of friendship.  I thought it would be fun to wear it as a necklace this Valentine's Day, so I added some ribbon to the clasps so lengthen it.

I also decorated the house this weekend for Valentine's Day.  I put a couple of paper dolls on the bookshelf.

"Love Mermaid"

             "Secret Sky Angel"
