Happy Valentines Day everyone!
Today has always been about my daughter, as its tradition for her to be my Valentine and for me to make her feel special, just like my mother did for me every v-day. & Man, did she need that more than ever today because she stayed home sick with a stomach bug poor girl!
Here's a photo of her loot! The stinky was given half from mama, & the other half I arranged and conquered a rescue from her teacher; the pocket and bag containing a gazillion adorable Valentines, sweets, and gifts from her class. The only unfortunate fact about this tradition is that my five year olds now favorite candy is friggin' ferrero roche & I may have had to go back to the store and purchase a second box of 12 because I ate the first box.
My new favorite color of roses that I got today as well as a plant I've wanted for some time called "Crown of Thorns" which blooms constantly if happy! The sweet and dainty flowers remind me of a pair of lips & the stem is lined with rose like thorns- what could be more "Valentines day"?!?
The Crown of Thorns plant (or Euphorbia Milii) has been around for hundreds of years and now there are several hybridized versions of them containing longer leafless stalks and larger flowers but the one I have is the original strain. It is also called the "Corona de Cristo" in Latin America or the Christ plant & legend has it that the plant was introduced to the Middle East in ancient times & that it is seen as the crown of thorns worn on the head of Jesus Christ himself.
& Sadly my romantic ring isn't quite finished but I have these babies
Just keep in mind my center garnet has cut corners which ties the whole sweet and feminine theme together!
The band has little violet flowers and vines on it.
