Sweet Valentine

Hard to resist to this beauty…

03_PICT6
San Valentino, on February 14,  273 AD, died as a Christian martyr's…little did he know about how this day would morphe into a crazy marketing of red merchandising, roses, lingerie, chocolate, same as in other celebrations, born on a religious belief and ended in a pagan ritual.

But we don't need expensive gifts to feel loved, since a delicate cake, a simple bunch of flowers, a genuine love gesture can make our heart sing and we can always sing... even if alone,
so Happy Valentine to everyone, couples and singles of any age and any gender.

Wishing you love 365 days a year!

    couldnt agree more - my favorite treats are those lopsided sticky creations my children make - although i must say with the food chanel going strong in my house their works are getting increasingly professional looking! Happy Valentines Day. Colette
