What LOVE is...

Today is Valentines Day, and I just wanted to share with all of you a little reminder that I've been given this week. The true source of Love and what it is.






1 Corinthians 13:4-8,13

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, Love does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails...And now these three things remain; Faith, Hope, and Love.
 But the Greatest of these is Love.


Have a blessed day, my dear friends.

love and be loved,
Debra
p.s. (I had a whirlwind weekend, and I'm so far behind on emails and visits for Vintage Inspiration Friday. Please forgive me for being the "hostess with the leastest". I apologize. I'll have some news this week.)

Vintage Inspiration Friday #24 Vintage Valentine Party



I guess if you want to be a little foo-foo,
then Valentine's Day is the perfect Holiday.





(these sweeties are BIG...over a foot tall)







And since Valentine's Day is about romance,
I thought I'd share a few of my vintage Frenchy couple figurines from Japan.
Try saying that fast three times...




I believe in letting a house somewhat dictate the mood and style of decor.
and since this house has a little Country French feel
I started collecting these figurines when we moved here.
My toile wallpaper is gone, but I still love my ladies and gents.











They live in my nick knack cupboard in my Dining Room.
I thought it would be fun to have them kiss.
Remember how we made Barbie and Ken smooch...?
but I couldn't arrange that and still take a picture.




A few years ago I started finding these little cherub pieces too,
They should be filled with dainty Valentine confections...
vous ne pensez, pas?
(don't you think?)
just love Google Translate!




My sis has resisted the "foofy gene",
so these fell to me.







This cherub chariot was broken,
but nothing a little china epoxy wouldn't mend.



Love the attention to detail...



aaaahhhh, those tiny rosebuds....



Maybe some day I'll get around to painting this little cabinet white.



hope you enjoyed a little frenchy romance!
