But this year I'm thinking it's really just a perfect excuse to be creative, festive, and a little spontaneous...
Creative: Pretty garlands, love notes, & thoughtful packages (to give to loved ones).
(garland by zigouis; pink marshmallows by bonjour!)
Festive: Fancy v-day dinner parties, complete with giant red hearts (& French cooking, a la Julia Child).

Spontaneous: Secret getaways and breakfast in bed (with "heart" toast!).
(hotel via sunday suppers; toast via lomopony)
I actually have a little spontaneous idea of my own planned for Q this year. If I document it, I'll try to share the results here!

Don't you want to host a fancy Valentine's Dinner Party like Julia? I loved that part of that movie.
sweet ideas! I have to come up with some good ones for my hubby. Trying to keep it handmade of course...;)
Happy MidWeek!
I always like the more thoughtful stuff for Valentine's day - a great, but inexpensive gift, a funny card or just going away together somewhere quiet and romantic.
I had forgotten about that Valentines dinner party on Julie and Julia. It would be fun to do that with hearts and garlands and sweet little treats and good friends.
I love all the garlands around - they are so very pretty. Intrigued to hear about your plans... xx
I am not a huge fan of Valantine's day neither - it's all a bit too scheduled for me. I mean, it is really weird that all the people around the world remember that they love someone and that they should show it on the exact same day:) I prefer when it is genuine and not just because the calendar says it's the 14th:) plus I feel a little sad for the people who are alone on this holiday..
On the other hand though, I love seeing people who are in love everywhere I turn - they are just so cute and so happy!:) I guess I am still undecided how I feel about this holiday :) but I've decided that this year I'll be using it as an excuse to take some time away from work and computers and phones and just relax with my bf :)
hope you are having a lovely day, dear! xo
Same goes for me. I am not big on Vday, i just thought it's too commercialised.
In any case, I love the thoughts when its inexpensive and yet super sweet. Looking forward to hearing yours! :)
Valentine's day is great and I'm sure you will enjoy being festive!
Yeah, I've always wished that Valentine's Day was a little better than it actually is. I probably need to be more spontaneous too!
