Sweet Valentine

Without faffing about and without flinching, while floating like a cloud in a flurry of flimsy fluffly fickleness, I found a way to express how much I love you, how deep I care, without even writing the word down or saying it face to face; I just took advantage of the fact Valentine's Day is Lovers Day to express my feelings for you! Tomorrow is bright.

(2) Bring sexy back all the way from Ukraine with this naughty bookmark with 'Personalised Valentine Tattoo on Sexy Butt', from Olena Mysnyk @ MyBookmark via Etsy. (3) Playing with old tin has never been so much fun for jewellery designer Kate Hamilton-Hunter, turning the mundane into the costume piece, like this 'Floral Romantic Bracelet', available to purchase from her site. (4) Keep it odd (as a number!) and decorative with Hotel Chocolat's 'Dark Lemon Truffles Keepsake Heart'. (5) Intellectualise it if you may with some poetry; here an extract from Pablo Neruda, via Department of the Interior. (6) And finally picture it and show it off!

But hang on, love wouldn't be so without its share of pain, right? 'Love Hurts' by Incubus:



'Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'Cause without love I won't survive'.
