Love is in the air

Ben and I have been married for 5 years today - horray!

Here's the card I made for Ben, and a little box of sweet nothings:

And here's the card he sent me:

We always celebrate by buying ourselves (or each other) something from the list of modern or traditional gifts for the year in question. This year the modern gift is silverware, and the traditional gift is wood, so we chose silverware and bought these beautiful little teaspoons, which were made in the 1890s. I love the way they're so delicate, and will last us a lifetime:

Some of them even have little initials carved into them - wonder if they were a wedding or anniversary gift for someone else in the past.
