Valentine's Day Treasures

I am dreaming of the perfect Valentine's Day and browsing the lovely selection of items that are available through www.etsy.com.  Valentine's Day has never been a big deal for me, but this year I think it will be somewhat special as it is our baby son's first Valentines. When he is a bit older we can make paper valentines together, but this year we will spend some quality family time together and if we get the chance to get to Ithaca we will venture to our friend's shop The Art and Found and get  our tarot cards read by another friend.  Here is the link for the event.

Today is another quiet day at home with my son, but the sun is shining and the weather is warmer, so I think we will take a woodland wander and perhaps pay a visit to the goats and chickens.  But first... If I could pick my dream Valentine's Day, this is what it would be like....

We would spend the day in Oxford, have lovely hot chocolate served from a beautiful tea pot and something scrumptious for breakfast.  We would explore some of the shops, especially book stores and quaint garden stores and then we would happen upon a rusty garden gate which leads to...(insert ideas here) a beautiful secret garden, or a fairy realm, or any number of places.  Where would you want the gate to lead to?  Oh and I have included photo's of my dream outfit.  So that is my fantasy valentines day. What is yours?
