Love is in the air....Preparing for Valentines Day...


Valentines Day is the perfect excuse to brighten up my home after a gloomy winter.....


...it's a sign that winter is waning and that spring is right around the corner...


...I have set a dessert tray....


....ready for guests...


...to enjoy an afternoon "pick me up"....


...and a possible "sugar high"...


...but now to decide what to serve...


...on these pretty heart shaped dessert dishes...


...well, of course lots of "hugs and kisses"....


...and maybe a tray of mini cookies...


...along with "fairy bites''''


...and mini cupcakes...





Do you do anything special for your loved ones on Valentines Day?

  1. Patti, this is so pretty! Are you having friends over? I'd be in big trouble if all of this was in my house with just me. ♥
