I love February though not just because it’s my birthday month. I love it because it’s such a hopeful month to me; you feel as though winter is just almost over and spring is on the way, colours of pink, red and white dominate and tulips and robins start poking around. What’s not to love?
Well, there is the commercialism of a particular holiday that’s not to love, isn’t there? I saw Valentines day things in December and it made me really bitter about hearts and chocolate. That is, until I saw the lovely little Valentines notes that Ulla and Melkorka have made for everyone for free. And then I thought that perhaps this year would be the first year to celebrate Valentines.
I’ll actually be on a plane that day (leaving on the 13th and arriving into Copenhagen at 8AM on the 14th) and then checking into a hotel followed by sight seeing so I don’t really have anyone I know to give Valentines to. So I’ve decided I’m just going to randomly hand them out! To the flight crew, people in the row behind me, the taxi driver, the front desk clerk. I’m not sure how this will be taken but we’ll see. There just has to be some way to incorporate these lovely cards into the day….!

I’d be happy to send you a Valentine.
Just tell your boy that James is a girl and means no harm!
All kidding aside, the idea sounds fantastic. I like random acts of love and kindness. Go for it!
We’re doing “Secret Valentine’s” at work. I’m going to put a tiny floral arrangement of little roses on my SV’s desk, along with a gourmet chocolate bar and a gift certificate for an Italian coffee shop. I hope she loves them!
That sounds like a great idea and I’m looking forward to hearing about your experiences. I think there will be a wide range of reactions, just like the ‘free hugs’ movement.
That’s such a cute idea!!!
Thanks so much for sweet post featuring our little cards! I hope your plan goes well! You made our week!
I send you on your way with visions of hygge from my danish heart and home!
