My simply scrummy friend Felicity of Gifts of Serendipity and I are linking up to bring you a fun and fabulous Valentine's Day linky.
Now, we know that love is not all about the bling. But it kind of is.
So, during this week in the lead up to Valentine's Day, we'd love you to do a post on your favourite bit of 'luuuuuuurve bling'. Your jewel might be an Engagement or Wedding ring, but it might also be a special little bauble that your man has lovingly bestowed during your love journey.* If you like, you can share 'your story' in the post as well.
So, write your post anytime before or on 14 February and on Valentine's Day Felicity and I will have the Blog Hop linky up on our blogs. Link up and hop along to oooooh and aaaaahhhh over each others' goodies. Add our Blingy Button as well if you can.

My picture above is of my wedding and engagement rings (remind me to at least slap on a bit of hand cream before my next EXTREME HAND CLOSE UP! I look eighty!). They are actually a 'step up' wedding and engagement ring because when we actually got engaged we were in London, mid-travel and rather penniless. So I had a simple Cartier ring (obviously not penniless penniless!) as my 'substitute' engagement ring until we decided we could afford something more... solitaire. I designed my rings myself and I adore, no wait, ADORE them. When I first wore them I could hardly drive as I kept getting distracted by the 'dancing lights'. Couldn't take my eyes of them.
So, join in the Vali Day fun and share your wares! Post sometime this week and link your post on 14 Feb.
* Note my 'Love Doctor' language. All for the smoozy smoochy smoonchiness that is Valentine's Day.
Disclaimer: With apologies to my darling co-host, Felicity, I must reveal that Valentine's Day and I are generally not lovers. Greedy, vacuous, try-hard Valentine's Day... I would kick it out of bed in a heartbeat.
But, hey, any excuse to fling the bling, right?!!
