A Little Heart


 This being Valentines week & all, I thought I would express my love of France with a few hearts.


 I love how so many of the houses from the middle ages in France are decorated with them.


When in France, I never tire of looking for hearts. On doors or windows, elegant or rustic, up or down, I always keep my eyes open. Whether, a child's happy drawing or heart shaped confetti this symbol of love always makes me smile.

A heart felt wish for a very happy week to each & everyone.

 I am linking this post with Paulita's meme Dreaming of France @ An Accidental Blog.

    1. Yes do look for them & let me know if you find any. Maybe the practice was only in my area of France (SW). I don't know.

  6. I am going to have to look at my photos to see if I have any hidden hearts. Have you been to Lyon. Their doors have the most wonderful details. These photos are lovely.
