happy valentines day everybody!

i hope you're having a good day, whether you're single or what! valentines day is about all kinds of love, and i've definitely received some awesome love this year!

twiztidblood and lori/batgirl both sent me valentines, which are so awesome!

twiz's card is made out of awesome polka dot fabric with hearts sewn right on!


and lori's card has awesome hearts made out of a punjabi newspaper, a map, and red glitter!


my dad gave me this orchid, which is gorgeous!

i love the colours, they're like stargazer lilies, which i love, but can't handle the smell of (why do lilies have to stink so bad?!)

and teddybearbones from craftster, who i swapped with last valentines day, sent me this awesome surprise!

it's the taschen vintage valentines book! i LOVE taschen books, i collect them, they're so gorgeous. i'd never seen this one, which is good, cause i probably would have bought it if i had! i love vintage valentines, and this book has an awesome variety from different time periods. it's so amazing, and i was just blown away by how awesome it was of her to think of me and send it!

(isn't the fabric i photographed it on cool? it's vintage cotton that i paid $0.59 for a few weeks ago!)

and speaking of vintage valentines, yesterday i discovered this!
vintage valentine museum!
how very cool is that?!
