Symbols of Love

If anyone has ever wondered how the heart became the symbol of love, and such burning questions such as 'why is the heart red', here's a light-hearted (yes, that's an intended pun) imagined conversation between Dr. Sheldon Cherry and a 2,000-year-old cardiologist.

  1. What a really fun post! I always love your crochet animals Elf and they would make adorable gifts for Valentine's Day. You know, I never really considered the whys and wherefores of the heart symbol. That was a fun, lighthearted interview to read. Plus, that card you shared is truly beautiful. I know several people who would prefer the Eiffel Tower and Paris. My own daughter would have loved a honeymoon in Paris. I suspect they will get there one day for a belated honeymoon. In the meantime, I am going to "kindly" show that card to her precious husband, but we won't tell her :)

    Headed for my morning dose of coffee and chocolate! This was a great way to start my day. Thank you!

    1. A world without chocolate would be dull indeed, Susan. Tickled you liked my plush ladybug. It was interesting to me to learn that ladybugs are symbols of happiness and good luck.
