Ahhh, Romance


          Candy Hearts, the constant symbol of Valentine’s day. With the “I love you”s and the “Be Mine”s, they are always a treat. No one – might be a bit of an exaggeration here – really enjoys the candies that much. They are simply used for their charming messages – or not-so-charming messages. I have actually heard some stories of people proposing using Candy Hearts. Just imagine it: separate little Conversation hearts saying “You’re cute,” “Be Mine,” and “I love you” all leading up to the  Heart that is in the ring box that reads “Marry me.” How very adorable?!
          Then there are those who make a mockery of Conversation Hearts. They are just plain mean...

  1. I loved your Valentine day pictures of the candy hearts! Definately something I think everyone can relate to, since I think most all of us eat these things every year. The fact that they don't even taste that good doesn't see to matter. Tradition is tradition! Thanks for sharing! :)

  2. Heather stole my comment! I can't even believe how many boxes of those candies I've consumed, even though they taste awful, just to read the messages. The messages aren't even that great! I'd much rather read the mockery ones because, though still in a traditional form, they spice up the holiday a bit. Oh, and the proposal with the candies would be hilarious. Kinda of in a Hansel and Gretal kind of way..."eat this trail of candies until you find me!!" I'm rambling but thanks for sharing this!
