I missed Valentine's day while I was in New York, though "missing it" is kind of overstating things. As I don't have a Valentine this year, the holiday kind of just passed by without even being noticed. Nevertheless, I thought I should at least try to get into the spirit of the holiday once during the month of February. These photos are part of the Forever Sweetheart contest over at Chictopia, where you post a photo holding a sign with someone you love on it. Naturally, my Valentine is my future companion, the trusty 1970’s Winnebago Brave I’m going to travel the country in! I don’t want to make the other love of my life (1970 El Camino) jealous though, she’ll always have my heart! I seem to have better luck falling in love with ugly old vehicles than real live people, which suits me just fine. If the only heart I ever steal is a Small Block 350, I’m perfectly okay with that.
Also, on a totally unrelated note, one of my lovely sponsors, Baby Says Boutique, has a bunch of new inventory in stock, so if you're in the shopping mood, head over and check out all the new gorgeous items!
