Valentine's day is probably a jeweler's
favorite holiday next to Christmas and Mothers Day.
Yes, I am a girl who does love her
bling. Especially earrings. I have friends who call me an earring
slut and it's a label I wear proudly. However believe it or not it is
not my favorite Valentine gift. SHHH, be sure my husband doesn't see
that.
My husband and I met on a blind date
One of the reasons I agreed to go out with him was he offered to take
me for Chinese food. It has become our go-to meal for celebrations.
What would my favorite date night
include, beside Chinese food and maybe some wine? Movies,
specifically old movies from the 30's and 40's. I was born well after
most of these were made but I spent many hours watching them with my
mother. They influenced in some way the heroes I create even today.
Luckily my husband enjoys them as well.
While enjoying dumplings and maybe twice-cooked beef or sesame
chicken we would watch The Thin Man with William Powell, Random
Harvest with Ronald Coleman or my all time favorite movie Casablanca
with Humphrey Bogart. There is also my more modern favorites,
anything with Hugh Jackman or Colin Firth. Although my husband does
have a limit on the number of times he will watch Pride and Prejudice
with me. I guess love only goes so far.
