sorry for the late post. i spent most of the day with the wee valentines. we went to deliver hugs to daddy at work- good times {except when c. almost choked on a jolly rancher given by daddy's co-worker - hey timmy, nice work!}
i wasn't prepared with a gift for CBC this year but low and behold i stumbled upon just the right 'something' today.
one of my fave gifts to give are
john derian decoupage.
they fit my gift criterion: something one probably wouldn't buy for themselves, aesthetically pleasing, and meaningful.
i know i've mentioned this lil gem in my
mom's day gift guide. love-love. and I would gladly accept this as a gift myself {hint, hint}
this beauty would not be cool with CBC, however.
if i was perusing the actual
john derian store i could have settled on any number of the following, as they all conjure up wonderful memories of my valentine:
the central park essay
{we got engaged overlooking central park when we lived on the UWS}
enjoyed many a jet-lagged creme brulee in gay paris
our lobster bake rehearsal dinner
obvs
obvs, again
triple obvs
this cupid would only fly on v-day- altho even that's a stretch . . .
awww, our lil twin cherubs! adorbs, but again, not quite CBC's style.
as it turns out, the totes appropes start to his 'collection' was on sale at one of my go-to gift shoppes in marblehead,
6.24.05
hey CBC, i'm glad we got married. i really like you, a lot.
and then on my way out i stumbled upon the perf card . . .
this reminded me that i gave CBC a wheel of
pierre robert for his first birthday we spent together {10 years ago}. it dawns on me now that this was an odd gift - but it was meant to be, or this card wouldn't make sense now - see that folks? it all. works. out.
happy valentine's day. remember the love.
