Valentine Hearts

I remember when I was in elementary school during the first week of February everyone in the class was given a white paper bag to decorate for Valentines Day. Out came the scissors, red and pink construction paper, doilies, markers and crayons. We all taped our decorated bags to the front of our desks, and then waited until February 14th eager to see who would drop their valentines into the bags. Some even had candy attached to them, of course those were my favorite! My very favorite were the candy conversation hearts. I would read each one, pop it into my mouth, and then on to the next piece. I still have a hard time passing up these sugary treats! I bought this apothecary jar at an after Christmas sale with the intention of using it next year to hold my Christmas cards, but the ruby color of the lid and base are perfect for Valentines Day. Filled with boxes of conversation hearts and a vintage valentine card make a nice decoration and easy access to my favorite valentine treat!
