It’s Vaaaaaaaalentine’s Day! Cue intimate candlelit dinner for two (plus 48 other restaurant goers). Cue a dozen red roses (I guess it’s the thought that counts). Cue those little ‘love teddy bears’ that sit at the bottom of florist tubes (weird). Cue… meh.
Couldn’t really care less, actually. I adore my husband every day, he adores me right back. Happily ever after.
BUT.
Oh, do I love jewellery and I’m fascinated to see what sort of ‘special’ pieces you have that your beloved (or yourself!) acquired for you. So Felicity at Gifts of Serendipity (who started it all with this post) and I are hosting a linky today. All you have to do is take a pic and write a post about your favourite piece of bling and link up!
So snap, snap, snap away (sunshine is good for sparkle) and come back over here or head to Felicity’s to sign up your link. Can’t wait to see!
[Image from here… source is written on the image but I can’t read it. Don’t you hate it how people don’t honour their sources! As always, if you know the owner of this image, please let me know. Would you believe this request actually worked one day and I was emailed by a woman whose husband had taken the shot? I dutifully changed the caption. A global village moment.] [9.28PM EDIT – Image by alephunky – thanks Jane, fast work!]
Jane says
Hey, Bron, I worked it out for you (after zooming in to view it at 200%!) – it’s http://alephunky.deviantart.com/. Am looking at my engagement ring now…J x
Maxabella says
Jane, fast work! Did you use that ‘reverse image finder’ thingy that I’ve forgotten the name of. I keep forgetting to go there! x
Kymmie says
I can’t wait until tomorrow to read all about special gems. What a wonderful way to celebrate St V’s. Thank you to Felicity and you. I have a more sentimental one lined up and look forward to sharing the love.
Happy Valentine’s Day Bronwyn. xx

Yes, all the sparkly things really make me happy and my man has such good taste :). I have posted about my EARLY Valentines Day , though – NO SPARKLES OR BLING but my heart was jumping for joy nonetheless! Happy Valentines Day!

My husband got me a necklace with my daughter’s birthstone right after she was born. I never liked the stone before, but it means so much more now. I never take it off.
Happy Heart Day to you!!
Elizabeth says
I love me some BLING! (Not that I have much myself) Happy Valentine’s Day ♥

Yay for Valentine’s Day, i love my modest rings from when i married my teen love, even got flowers from him today, fills the heart with joy, especially when your Valentine is miles away in another city. Now in all my red heart glory (brooche, hair clip, red roses in my arms) i’m off to a high school camp meeting, oh yeah, romantic or what?? Love Posie
