Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day Tea Friends!

Look at this sweet Valentine's we received!

I love that my mom has always made Valentine's Day more than just a day for lovers, but a day to celebrate love of all kinds! Family Love, Friendship Love, Animal Love, truly all kinds of love!

Quotes are one of my favorite thing to collect! So here are some of my favorite quotes in honor of this day of Love!

A hundred hearts would be too few To carry all my love for you. ~Author Unknown 

 I've fallen in love many times... always with you. 
~Author Unknown 

My whole heart for my whole life. 
~French saying used on poesy rings 

"If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden." ~Attributed to Claudia Ghandi

A Few for my Furry Friends:

"The poor dog, in Life the Firmest Friend, the First to Welcome, the Foremost to Defend" 

~ Lord Byron

"A house is not a home without a pet." ~ Anonymous 

"...he will be our friend for always and always and always." 
~ Rudyard Kipling

For my Jane Austen Lovers... 

heart melting words of the men of Jane Austen

“I come here with no expectations, only to profess, now that I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is and always will be yours.”  
~ Sense and Sensibility

"I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan."

 --  from Persuasion by Jane Austen

Here's another from Persuasion, which I have not read yet, but after reading these quotes, I think I need to pull that one out! 

"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago."

And of course, we cannot leave out the beloved Mr. Darcy:

"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."  
~Mr. Darcy

Happy Valentine's Day!
