My big February/Valentine decoration for work.

It makes a soothing “click-click-click” sound when the sun powers it – or it could be an annoying sound, depending on your point of view.

Valentine’s day has never been one of my favorite holidays.
So consequently, I don’t have a lot of Valentine decorations
However, I came across this gal at an estate sale last summer.
She is so sweet – I had to have her.

I’m With Cupid (044/366)

“I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.”

SUBJECT:  Kewpie figurine

This is some of my other Valentine’s Day decorations…one of three ceramic Kewpie cupids that I purchased from Hallmark back in the mid 1990’s.  I nestled him in a lovely thrifted candleholder made of plastic white flowers and plastic birds covered in red velvet and a sprinkling of gold glitter.  Very 1970’s kitsch.
