TIE A LAVENDER RIBBON AROUND AN OLD OAK TREE

submitted by: Alicia

My boyfriend and I work and live about an hour apart so we exchange voice mails, emails, and talk on the phone like teenagers!

For valentines day this year, I found an antique postcard at a flea market...on the front it says "to my valentine", and there's a bouquet of lilacs tied with a lavender ribbon.  it's postmarked February 13, 1908,  Derby CT, and has the coolest old 1 cent stamp.

I plan to have it delivered to his office that Monday morning, with a note that says: "whenever a lavender ribbon you see, please remember how much I love thee".  

On Sunday, the evening before Valentine's Day, I have 65 giant bows that I made from gross grain ribbon and floral wire that I plan to fasten to the sign pole on every stop sign, speed limit sign, fence post, bridge abutment and street sign between his home and his office!   I know he'll see them on his way in, and be curious... he's very perceptive!

I love surprising him with silly little public displays of affection like that.  I can't wait!  I'm sure we'll have great fun taking them down together too...
