Floral Lollipops for your Valentine....

Here's a quick Valentine craft that you can do with little ones - they can hand them out to their friends, you can put some in a vase on your desk at work, or tuck them in a friend's mailbox!

Early Valentine Dinner for Two...

I began with a centerpiece and couldn't decide between these tall candles sticks....

...or a group of glassware:

Each place setting was anchored with a red dinner plate for Pork Chops and Corn....

..... with a MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check Heart plates for a salad:

A little Josh Wine will be the perfect accompaniment:

The secret ingredient is always love!

I decided these candle sticks were too high:

 And I stuck with the lower vases with candles.

This dainty tea vase is so sweet and works well as a candle holder for battery operated candles, too!

You can find it here:

and 

MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check Fluted Heart

Hope you enjoy Valentine's Day!

A Quick Little Valentine Gift

Here's an idea for a quick little Valentine treat, favor or gift for a friend or co-worker:

Valentine Dinner Table Setting...

The dining room table is set for a dinner for two....

...salad, steak, roasted potatoes....

....and chocolate cake for dessert!

I am using a mixture of dishes, 2 heart shaped, one for salad and the other for dessert....

....the hand painted floral dishes are from an unknown artist and I have slowly gathered a nice collection!

The napkins are tucked into my hand made napkin rings and placed in my hand painted wine glasses:

Have a wonderful Valentines Day!
