A Few of My Favorite Valentine Things

Always on the lookout for unicorns,  even during a quick stop at Walgreens 

Since I heard about the sad passing of Christopher Plummer, aka Captain von Trapp, yesterday, I've been humming songs from "The Sound of Music." The first one that came to mind was "My Favorite Things," a song that always makes me smile. During a visit to the drugstore this afternoon I saw several Valentine candy boxes that also made me smile. Instead of buying candy. which I absolutely don't need to eat, I started snapping pictures. Inspired by "My Favorite Things," I'm posting a few of my favorites for Pink Saturday fun


Minnie and Mickey have begun their Valentine celebration


I love the look of the pink unicorn and Minnie and Mickey, but for eating enjoyment I'd pick this box. I know dark chocolate is the healthiest, but I am a fan of milk chocolate and I love, love Reese's. I'm also a big Kit Kat fan. It's not a fancy box, but this is the one for me. 


Anyone a fan of conversation hearts? These bring back memories of grade school, but I'm not sure I've had one in decades. I like the idea of the SweeTARTS version. 

What's everyone else's favorite Valentine candy? So far I've resisted buying any candy, though I'm sorely tempted. I try to wait until after the holiday and pick one favorite at half price. I'm a big candy fan and if I started eating now I' have eaten much more candy than I should eat. My eye is going to be on the Valentine Reese's. 

Miss Fluffy thanks everyone for the kind thoughts. I hope to  feature her next week. She was part of a very special wedding, that I'm hoping to blog about on Wedding Wednesday.

I made the most of what, may be, the last sunny and relatively warm February day for the next week. I made sure to get my three miles of walking done -- pictures to share tomorrow -- and several errands. I stocked up with groceries and managed to bypass wings, chips and all the Super Bowl temptations at the grocery.  

As ever, thanks for visiting and keep cozy.
