A Valentine's Day Surprise

As I was driving up to my house I saw this beautiful package in my door.  I just love the
 big red bow!


It only got better,  look what was inside that beautiful package.  Now if you know me you know I love keys.  I did a whole post on decorating with keys.  You can click here to see that post.


Tied to the keys was a gorgeous card and on the back was written "The Keys To The Kingdom" and the scripture Matthew 22:37.


This wonderful Valentine Surprise was from my book club sister Connie.  Thanks Connie, you're the best!!!  I hope all of you have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentines Day Dinner

Ever year for Valentines Day I make what my family calls a "fancy" meal. A "fancy" meal at my house is when we get out the crystal and put candles on the table.  This year I tried to dress the table up a bit by using silver platters as chargers.  I had seen this idea on pinterest and thought I would try it.  The table really turned out pretty.


Of course I did not have four matching silver platters so I used what I had.


 I put some mercury glass candle holders in the middle of the table and done.  It looked gorgeous, a lot prettier than the pictures make it look.  I seem to have a real difficult time photographing my table. 


On the menu for this "fancy" meal was Stuffed Mushrooms, Chicken Breast Supreme, Asparagus, and Red Velvet Cake for desert.  It was yummy!

 Hope all of you have a wonderful Valentines Day and thanks for stopping by! 

Lots of Love,

A Few More Valentines

Here are just a few more Valentines I have sitting around the house that I thought I would sneak in before the actual day.  I can not believe that Valentines Day is next Tuesday. 

I picked this book up this year at the antique mall. I think it is just perfect for Valentines Day.  The copyright is from 1951.  I love that!


And this cute little apothecary jar is an unexpected surprise from a friend.


  It doesn't scream Valentines Day but that cute little calling card nestled in those white buttons give it the feel of Valentines Day.


Isn't it sweet!?!


Thanks for stopping by and I hope all of you have a wonderful Valentines Day!

Love Letters

I was getting out some of my Valentines decorations today and I have to say, I am a helpless romantic.


I think that is why I like to decorate with antique and vintage pieces.

I like to imagine a story to go along with a lot of the pieces I buy....


for example can't you just picture a handsome man sitting down at this very typewriter and typing out a love letter to his sweetheart?


Or a beautiful woman typing a love letter to her hubby thanking him for the beautiful flowers and chocolates.


 I can, so that is how this vignette came to be.  


I hope all of you get lots of love letters this Valentine's Day!
