V-Day

Valentine's Day .......


The Day when Celebrations fill up the air around and the Hearts brimming with Love seek out to the Loved ones, to hold and reveal how it feels like to share it all with each other.

Sigh!!! ;D

And for all those out there.. I have a wonderful plan to gift your loved one on such special occasions.


A Life Size Greeting Card with Beautiful Letters forming out into Beautiful Words to convey those Beautiful Feelings / Memories of those Beautiful Days - to tell them How Beautiful it is to Be with him/her.

The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. The greeting, which was written in 1415, is part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England.

On St. Valentine's day, the lovely sun,

Carrying along its lighted candle,

Made its way that fine dawn, not long ago,

Into my locked chamber, all in secret.

The gleaming brightness that it brought therein

Awakened me then from the sleep of Care,

In which I had been drowsing all night long

While lying on the bed of Painful Thought.

That day as well, to share out their booty

Of the benefits of Love, all the birds

Did assemble, who, speaking their language,

Cried out loud, demanding the provision

That Nature had ordained to serve them all:

This was a mate, as each had made their choice.

With their noise I could not fall back asleep

While lying on the bed of Painful Thought.

Then, with hot tears moistening the pillow,

I bemoaned all my bitter destiny,

Saying: “Birds, I see you on the pathway

Of all things that please, with joy expectant.

You each have a companion who suits you,

And I have none, for Death, betraying me,

Took my mate, so I languish all in pain

While lying on the bed of Painful Thought.

May the men and women of love's party

Be granted their St. Valentine this year!

Alone I remain, bereft of comfort

While lying on the bed of Painful Thought.


???????? What are you gifting your Valentine?? :-)
