I am so excited for the special dinner I am preparing for my Valentine this evening. I am using a new extra large roaster I just purchased for the first time. I hope it works out because I have no back up dinner planned, lol. For Valentines this year I of course wanted things for the house. I read this funny meme that a woman said to her husband, "It's me or the house babe, and the house usually wins." That is so quintessentially me! I usually look terrible at every holiday, but the meals are fabulous everyone is taken care of and the house looks amazing, ha! This year I am actually planning on wearing make up and sitting at the table with my very tired overworked husband. Yes today he will be under a house plumbing all day, sigh. I am hoping to pamper him tonight.
I had fun decorating the house this year for Valentines Day, though it was very last minute as our schedules have been a wee bit INSANE! Ha! So without further ado here is the house all gussied up for the big day...if you scroll to the end you will se a video of the lovely table in all her glory.
I love these linen Valentine napkins from White Tulip Embroidery, love that company!
I found this silver leaf cherub that I think is adorable. I just love cherubs.
What would Valentines be without chocolate? Very delicious chocolate. Sees candies are my fav!
Fun macaroons pink and white, of course!
I love the creations of Aunt Becky's Bakery! Especially for those of us on a perpetual diet!
A sweet friend from Australia made this adorable heart cookie for me. She no longer makes them :(
My favourite Valentines cushions from Little Miss Norway Home. She does such lovely work.
Velvet cushions are my all time favourite though!
Valentines just would not be complete without conversation hearts! I found these for my granlils and they loves them.
Tea anyone?
My Valentines gift was this adorable little fountain for the front patio area.
