a belated Valentine's burst

These peculiar pretties seem to have sprouted from the edge of my desk this morning...

I wonder what they could be?

my perfect Valentine's day

It might sound a little sad, but I've never really "done" Valentine's Day, and I can only recall one that has properly stuck in my memory. If I could choose how my Valentine's Day goes, it'd plan it to go something like this...

Wake up after a nice lie-in and snuggle with this little one {1}, to be greeted by {2} or {3} and perhaps have {4} {5} or {6} for breakfast.

After a relaxing bath with {7} and {8} and spritzing myself with {9},

I'd get dressed up like this:

{1} {2} {3} {4} {5} {6} {7} {8} {9}

...and then have a lovely refreshing cup of tea using {15} {16} {17}.

Perhaps I would be greeted on my way out the door by the postman with one of these lovelies just for me {18} {19} {20} {21} {22} {23}

...and I would then make my way somewhere special to meet up with someone lovely

{24 is Kaz!} to relax here {25}, drink this {26} and eat some of these {27} {28} {29}.

Since it's a day of treats, I might buy myself something pretty like {30} {31} {32} {33} {34} {35}.

For dinner, {36} or {37} served on {38} with {39} {40} and {41} afterwards, just for good measure.

Phew, it'll be an exhausting day!

What would your perfect Valentine's day look like?
