Love is...

a many splendid thing!

 

With St. Valentine's Day this week, it seemed love was all around but not just romantic love, love in all its forms...

 

On Saturday I found this LOVEly card in Aldi. I loved the colours, the delicate print in the background and the subject matter of course, I can feel a little art project coming on!
 

On Sunday, my heart skipped a beat when I found this cute couple at a market…

 

 I do love some chintz! These two will fit nicely into my growing collection.
 

While the weather got less and less clement (Atlantic Storms!) as this week wore on, the flurries of snow around the country on Tuesday were just a picture…

 

Who doesn't love a light dusting of snow with their Tuesday?

 

On Wednesday, love was in the Air from Piano Sonata No. 11 as my mother and I enjoyed an evening of magical Mozart by candlelight provided by a European Baroque Ensemble and three excellent soloists...

 

Mozart knew a thing or two about love…

“Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius.
Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.”

Friday of course was Valentine's Day, the day of love!
Some red velvet cupcakes to spread the love to my fellow workmates...

 

And a romantic dinner for two at our favourite local restaurant where we celebrated our engagement, the Motte and Bailey...

 

 

Cosy surroundings, roaring fires, flickering candles, roses, champagne and amazing food, all the ingredients for a LOVEly evening with Mr. Auburn.

 

Hope you had a love filled week...

"Sometimes it feels like there are so many things we can't control, earthquakes, floods, reality shows. But it's important to remember the things we can, like forgiveness, second chances, fresh starts. Because the one thing that turns the world from a lonely place to a beautiful place, is love.
Love in any of its forms."
