There’s no place like home.

I love my home. I would rather be here than most anywhere. It is a place of love. I guess when I think of my home that is what comes to my heart first, that I am loved and accepted and can just be myself.



It is also a place where I can freely be creative and work on whatever I feel like doing at the time.



My home isn’t fancy or a showplace, but it is warm and comfortable and I am happy here.



This is the week we celebrate love. That is the sweetest thing about Valentine’s day. That you let someone know you love them.


I love sharing these vintage valentine’s because it brings back memories of much more innocent times.



I have been working on something new for our shops. These are baby booties that I will be listing later this week, but here is a sneak peak for you.



May your week be filled with love. Embrace those around you who mean the most to you. I am extending a "Happy Valentine's Day"to each and every one of you.

    Twyla, Late at night I post my blog story before going to bed. I always check your blog before heading off. This post really touched my heart. My home also is very simple. It is where I most want to be. I don't like to be away for long. I am also most loved here. In your home with your loved ones, I wish you the happiest of Valentine's Days. Elizabeth

    Hi Twyla
    I love my home too. I just could not ever imagine living anywhere else. At the weekend we never went out of the house mainly due to the weather. I loved every minute in my cosy warm house and even managed a little crafting.
    Thanks for showing your new line of baby booties. They are so gorgeous.
    Happy Valentines Day to you and Lindsey.
    Lindsay

    Yup! There's no place like home! The older I get the more I want to be here! (Glad I got a little peek of you in your mirror!) ☺

    Your baby booties are very sweet, Twyla- love those little pom poms. And I love that puppy giving the ♥ a little puppy lick!

    Thanks again for your contribution to my swap package! You must tell me more about those quilt scraps!

    I agree that home is the most comfortable place to be. Your baby booties are absolutely adorable. I wish I knew of a baby to buy them for. I continue to enjoy your vintage Valentine's.

    What a wonderful way to share about HOME-I love my home too! It has evolved over the years to more of what I dream of but it not perfect, never clean, but it is warm and welcoming and a place of safety and love! Happy Valentines Day!

    P.S. Love the baby booties-wish I had a grandchild to give them too----someday!!
