Valentine's Day....so romantic and sweet

The sweetest day of the year is right around the corner...
VALENTINE'S DAY

This is the sweet VALENTINE BANNER my blogging bud, KATHY
sent me several yrs ago.
It is, by far, one of my very favorite pieces.
I love hearts....always have....and Kathy has made lots of pretty hearts.

Can you see why I love it...?
It looks amazing on my white vintage mantel.

THESE are store-bought (gasp)
CREAM CHEESE WONTONS
and they are worth about a million bucks each.
THEY ARE GOOD.
Add a Sweet and Sour dipping sauce and you are OVER THE MOON.
I am pretty sure I can eat a whole, entire package of them
BY.  MY.  SELF.
I just wanted to tell you about them in case you need something DELICIOUS
for a Valentine Tea....


CANDY just GOES with a VALENTINE post....:))
Candy hearts are wonderful...
CHOCOLATE, however, is MAGNIFICENT....!!!!








....and just ANY muffin or cupcake
RISES TO THE OCCASION
when they are baked in bright, cute CUPCAKE PAPERS....

"Kathy, is this photo yours or mine??"  LOL

I know you had a jar full of pretty papers, too.






How much more ROMANTIC
can you get......?

Pink, red, tulips, candles, crystal, pearls ...

and  XOXO

I don't actually decorate our house for VALENTINE'S DAY other than 
a few hearts  scattered here and there.

  4. I don't decorate for Valentine's... usually I not even really celebrate it in a different way.
    But this year Valentine's falls on a Sunday after the beginning of Lent. But Sunday is not Lent so I will have some detail for the loves who will be around the home.
    I made a sign that I will post later in the week at the blog.
    I love that you celebrate Life in a all.
    Love,
    T

  16. Lots of fun! I'm probably the only person in the world but I'm not a candy person...never even think about it. Wish I felt the same re: pie, cake, ice cream, etc. :)

  22. The photo of the cupcake papers is yours. I only know that because I see some papers in yours that I don't recognize, although we also have a lot of the same papers! I am so glad you still like your banner, it really pops against the mantel!

  23. Now that I think about it I need to get the banner out of storage that I made for Valentines Day. Perhaps when I am not so headachy and tired..........

    God bless.

    My Valentine's Day decor is confined to one small area of our home,

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
