St. Valentine

In honor of this most dubious holiday, I am highlighting something that is made of pure awesome. This winged heart was knit for us by the obscenely talented Tasha, of By Gum, By Golly. It was a few years back, when the economy was in a particularly cruel place, a little package from Chicago arrived unexpectedly the cheer us up.

While sitting on the couch watching The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet with Mr. Moe yesterday, I looked over and was reminded of this wonderful handmade gift.

You can have the flowers and chocolates and diamonds — I’ve never been that kind of woman. Handmade ditties and cozy afternoons on the couch with your sweetheart make the best kind of Valentine’s Day to me.
