I remember long ago, way back in college, someone told me I reminded them of the bride of Frankenstein. Which I found to be a major compliment, and to commemorate that compliment from long ago, I bought this adorable purse a few months ago – and how perfect is it for Valentine’s month?! Both of them are about to smooch! 💋
I put together a dark romantic look to compliment the purse! The necklace I’m wearing, I’ve had since I was around 8 or 9 years old. In fact, I think I got it for a quarter out of a quarter machine outside a K-Mart back in the day.
Pictured below is me wearing it, holding my beloved doll!
And then here’s 37-year-old me wearing it now! ⬆️
I have my Valentine chocolates ready to go for my mom and sister; I think they’re so cute:
Who else is ready for Valentine’s Day?! I have some festive cookies to bake this week, and I’ll be sure to show them in the Valentine’s Day post! 💘

You were adorable with your doll. I love the Frankenstein Valentine’s purse. I’m not too fond of Valentine’s Day.

Thanks so much!! I’m fond of Valentine’s Day solely for the chocolate! I hope you get to enjoy some chocolate, at least! ❤️

I’ll get chocolate for Laurie. Valentine’s is a great excuse for chocolate. Although chocolate is a basic food group, so there is no real reason for needing a special reason to have chocolate and eat it too.

What a sweetly spooktacular post! That bag is so cute and so you. I love the backstory behind it and agree that being likened to the Bride of Frankenstein is indeed a compliment. That necklace really takes me back. The black cord, swirly clay beads, and silver findings and pendant remind me of some I had in the ’90s too. That’s so cool that you still have it. And that you’re wearing it in your childhood pic, which is completely adorable! Finally, the Valentine’s candy for your mom and sister is so festive; the flamingo is my favorite. Here’s to a happy heart week ahead! 💖🦩
