We Loved With A Love That Was More Than Love.
This is the last of the three quotes I wanted to share. I have had them highlighted for a while now and tucked away , awaiting the perfect way and time to display them. Then I found a couple of ideas online and while I liked the quotes, the colours were not to my liking. I decided to make my own printables, for My Valentine, The Husband....whom I have come to adore over the last ten years, each day more than the day before. Our recent shared grief has caused us to be bonded stronger than ever.
What are printables?? You can click on the image below that you like and then download, then you can print them on card stock to give to your favourite valentine as a card, or print on paper and frame to give to your valentine.

Valentine,You Must Allow Me To Tell You…
...how much I LOVE framed quotes! I think they are incredibly sweet and perfect. I have had them highlighted for a while now and tucked away , awaiting the perfect way and time to display them. Then I found a couple of ideas online and while I liked the quotes, the colours were not to my liking. I decided to make my own printables, for My Valentine, The Husband....whom I have come to adore over the last ten years, each day more than the day before. Our recent shared grief has caused us to be bonded stronger than ever.
The Husband and I both enjoy literature, and to read- so I thought it extremely fitting to give. The quotes I chose are the ones that I love the best, and the ones that I honestly feel. You might have others, but I decided to share these ones with you in case you would like to use them.
I have these three printables that I have made for my valentine, that I want to share with you as well. What are printables?? You can click on the image below that you like and then download, then you can print them on card stock to give to your favourite valentine as a card, or print on paper and frame to give to your valentine.
I will post the other two printables over the next bit, you are welcome to print as you would like, if you do find clever uses, that I have not thought of- please do share your ideas with me.
I have other valentine ideas that I will be sharing as well, forget the need to feel pressured into buying expensive items for your valentine, try and make something you know he or she will love. Putting time and work into your gift will surely please. Below I have four options of this same quote, that way you can select which look you like best, choosing your favourite coloured one and with or without texture.
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."
— Jane Austen (Pride And Prejudice)
This first pintable below is a romantic quote from the Jane Austen book Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Darcy is the classic heart throb, so print these for your very own Mr. Darcy. You may have to play with your printer settings a little to get size and colour right for your frame. I chose to print mine on matte photo paper, and my printer had a setting specifically for that. I also chose to increase the size of the image by selecting the 'border-less' option. You may have to work with it a bit, as I don't know what your options are. I also chose these floating frames because I love how forgiving they are while having that matted feel.

The Kitchen God’s Wife

The Kitchen God's Wife
by Amy Tan
544 Pages
Fiction
Stellar Five Chicken Award Book
For over fifty years two women, Winnie and Helen have guarded some of the worst possible secrets. When Helen confronts Winnie telling her she just can't keep the secrets anymore, Winnie must come clean. Interestingly the person Winnie most wanted to shield from the truth was her daughter Pearl, but Pearl has secrets of her own to disclose as well. After years of holding in the truth Winne is forced to endure the painfulness of remembering so that for the first time mother and daughter can understand each other as a whole, not just the pretty parts. The true question is, are their bonds strong enough to endure the truth, after having been taught generation after generation to hide the truth and put up a fake front?
I had never read Amy Tan before, I have seen people love her and I can't believe I was so slow to jump on the wagon. I grabbed up this read because it was just sitting there staring at me in the library, and it was an audio book. I love listening to international fiction audio books because I enjoy the accents and voices. Plus, yes, I have always liked being read to just as much as reading a book myself. After reading (listening to) The Kitchen God's Wife, I have a new author to stalk, yes a new favourite. I have a couple of her other books sitting on my shelf calling me right now. She is one of my new favourite authors.
In The Kitchen God's Wife Amy brings up women's issues in old China, she dispels some myths, she tells an amazing story and that she told flawlessly. The book is pretty dark at places, and the characters suffer much at the hands of those who claim to love them. It is hard to read at times, but even though it is intense I could not stop reading it. This read rocked my boat and could not have been better-the only thing was that I had wished it would have gone on for a little longer after the secrets were out, but the book was already 544 pages...so that probably wasn't an option. Maybe The Kitchen God's Wife part 2? ha!
Here I go again, giving out my most precious award. However Amy Tan takes it by a landslide. The Stellar Five Chicken Book Award is well deserved, very well deserved.
