my valentine to you

I wanted to pop on here and wish you all the best Valentine's day.  Even if you have no "special valentine" this year, don't forget about all of the other people in your life that love you. It's not about buying pretty merchandise and diamond bracelets, it's about recognizing all of the love in the world, and loving the world back in return.  Be appreciative for what you have today, and for all of those in your life that have a special place in your heart.

I have definitely been feeling the love around here lately, and I wanted to let you all know that I am so grateful. Just 8 short months ago I had this crazy idea to start sharing my life with you all on this blog and I couldn't have imagined how much it would grow in such a short amount of time. That's not to say it didn't come with hard work, but I am forever humbled by your comments and friendships.  Eight months ago I was just a girl admiring some of my own favourite bloggers and hoping that maybe I could get where they were one day.  I never would have guessed some of those very same ladies would become such great friends.  I never would have guessed that I would be the one receiving the type of love that they did, that I admired so much. So thank you, lovely readers. You have truly made my 8 months something special, and for that I wish you that same love in return today.

(Fawn & Flora is opening today, so I am a busy bee. I hope you'll check out the shop in a little bit and add our facebook page too!)
