Valentine’s colors are red, pink and purple. We could pick out any fabric with those colors and spread them across the floor. Then cut symmetrical hearts by folding pieces in half and then cutting a tear-drop shape. The quick and dirty method of decorating was to tape the hearts to our front window. If your partner in crime were seven- or eight years old instead of three, you would have cut smaller hearts to glue in the larger ones, and then safety pinned them to a long piece of ribbon.
