Valentonia - are you in, or out?

Valentonia...... a state of mind, a country.........?

It's a few days hence to 14 February, that day in the calendar when, if you are a cynic, you will hear card manufacturers' tills ringing - kerching! kerching!   If you are a bit of a softy, you may well buy one of their cards yourself;  or you may make a few.  The heart, a great symbol for the day pops up everwhere.  I just thought you might like to look again at that symbol for Valentine's Day in a whole new light, so, roaming around Pinterest, I found a few "hearts" that made me smile,  and all of which I found a little different than the usual 14 Feb representations.  Enjoy!

 

Just one little red button.....

or a red heart made entirely of stained glass.....

..... even a little peephole in an old gate

Nature doing so easily what we strive so hard to produce, like ..............

a glorious confection of the florist's art

So...... hearts of all kinds - hope you liked them!
