Valentine's Day is always extra-special for us, as it's also our wedding anniversary. But this one marks a milestone -- 25 years! With our busy lives right now it doesn't really make sense for us to get away, so we're spending the holiday together as a family. I'm looking at it as a sort of four day weekend, with some fun outings, all of our favorite recipes, and plenty of treats.
In the kitchen nook I set a simple table for us to enjoy the next few days. As a base I started with this floral tablecloth, which is actually a thrifted Pottery Barn sheet!
I added some pretty roses in a tea pot,
A few candles for an evening glow,
and some dessert dishes, awaiting one of the many treats I hope to make for my family.
Some red berries, gingham ribbon, and a sweet ceramic heart decorate a simple twig wreath over our living room mirror. I bought two more of the dollar store kalanchoes, and I think I'll paint up these clay pots with something Valentine-ey. Wouldn't red and white checks be cute?
I'm so ready to start baking some yummy treats and desserts! What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

This is just lovely. The tiered plates with all of the little candles are delightful and your little heart in the midst of the swag is the perfect touch. Great to have you at Seasonal Sundays.
