Valentines is a very special day for my husband and myself. We were engaged to be married on this special holiday. We usually go out to celebrate but I like to set up a little table for dessert just for the two of us anyway. How about some strawberries, some chocolates and a little wine? You can’t beat that, can you?!

Thanks for coming by and sharing this with me. I hope your Valentines is everything you want it to be!

Oh Barb, this table took my breath away! It is so soft and romantic. I loved your stacked cake plates with the strawberries. Do you have pink champagne in the glasses? It makes the pattern show up so much better on camera, and they are really beauties. Thank you so much for this lovely contribution to the party. laurie

Barb,

Everything is so pretty in those soft pinks. It reminds me of Strawberry Ice Cream.

I also had time to read back on some post I have missed. That china you husband got you is so pretty, he is a special guy to have done that!

Talk to you soon ;)

Morning Barb! Well it's a little early for wine (7:45am) but it's never too early for choc/strawbs!!lol Just beautiful and so special a day for you two! You never cease to amaze with your table arrangements!They are all so different!!!I hope you are putting together a scrapbook of just your arrangements???I mean a paper one?one that you should publish!! Thanks for your concern! The weather Wed was awful awful! I've driven in lots of snowstorms but this was the worse; could not see the road and had people coming at us head on - we just turned around and went home - 20 minutes turned into an hour and a half!(thank goodness for the only garage open with a ladies room - should not have drank so much coffee on the way!lol) Well I'm off to get busy since I'm not going out driving!! Have a HAPPY HAPPY - ROMANTIC CELEBRATION! Hugs, Jeannette

Your dessert table is so romantic looking! Happy anniversary of your engagement, and I hope you and your hubby have a great night out!

Melissa Miller said...

Thank you for entering my LL giveaway Barb!

I appreciate you saying Chestnut is my *little* kitty. LOL! He's our 21 pound big boy. He's weighed exactly the same for 5 of his 6 1/2 years. Sigh....:)

~Blessings, ~Melissa :)

Melissa Miller said...

I know what you mean about the southern words and meanings Barb. I'll take it to describe my big ole' boy anyday. He!

I have seen Tinker's beautiful photo here and he is gorgeous. I'm so happy you had many wonderful years with him. Orange kitties are such big personalities aren't they? Chestnut is my *child* for sure. He does remind me a lot of Tinker.

Happy Valentines Day! ~Melissa :)

Just a little something from Judy said...

A softly lit, romantic table set for two...does your husband realize what how fortunate he is to have someone as gifted as you? I am convinced that every time I visit this blog I realize how much beauty you add to every table, whether it is with pastels or with bright colors. Today's tablescape is once again beautifully done.

Hope you have a wonderful time together.

Pauline said...

Miss Barb, what a romantic pair you and your husband are :o) Have a love Valentine celebration.
