FEBRUARY MEANS TIME FOR VIOLETS

 

As soon as Valentines Day

is over I begin to think

about violets!

We just got 3" of snow which isn't

really much but I will say Zero

degrees doesn't feel great on

the skin!  That's unusual for our

area of Missouri.

There are always things to do in the

winter:  sewing, baking or

crafting.  We don't mind staying in as 

we re-watch a little of the

Downton Abbey series each day.

I have collected violet themed

items for years and mix it together

with my purple transferware:

I hope your winter is going

along well!

Hope your week is wonderful....

MADE ONE FOR MYSELF

 

I thought I'd make a little cozy 

for myself today.

I had this fabric from years

back.

We really aren't doing anything

special.  It is cold and it

is supposed to snow

tomorrow.

Do you mind winter?  I enjoy

the slowdown myself.

I should have including some

Valentine Sugar Cookies but

 they seem to have

"disappeared".

ROMANTIC VALENTINE TABLESETTING

I think it is fun keeping the dining room

area table set for different seasons

and holidays.

Valentines Day is such a fun opportunity

to combine both whimsy and 

romance.

I found these English Adams plates

a year or so ago which all depict scenes

of romantic couples.  I set my table

with my favorite Alencon French lace

tablecloth.  This photo from last year

shows you the vintage cupid napkins.

I have 2 musical teapots that feature

couples.  I think both are from Japan.

 

I hope your winter is going well

and like you, I look forward to spring.

We have used our fireplace a lot

this winter.

Our snow melted this week and I 

see some plants and bulbs 

"hanging on".

HAPPY ROBERT BURNS DAY

I have never attended a Robert Burns

 Dinner but

I think it would be fun.

Perhaps some of you with

Scottish roots will enjoy

this feast today.

 

THANK GOD FOR THIS DAY! January 20, 2025
