THE WEEK OF VALENTINES DAY

While some of you have been getting slammed with winter snows, here in Colorado we have had unseasonably warm weather.  It seems quite unusual and of course causing bulbs to pop up in the garden.  Not good considering most of our snow arrives in March and April and do not like being out in the snow. 




 Inside we are all decorated
 for Valentines Day.




For me, Valentines Day is all about whimsy.




Yesterday afternoon, I went antiquing and found this darling old Valentine postcard.  There seem to be many out there and I couldn't resist this one.


I know that blogging this week will be filled with Valentines Day decorating, baking and Valentine passions. I am amazed how many bloggers have some portion of this Lucy's Love teaset and I imagine we will see a lot of this one this week.

  1. Hello Bernideen,
    What an adorable Valentine Day Tea! I love your sweet heart inspired tea wares and the little angel watching over everything is simply darling! I wish I could have set the table I was planning but when you read my post you will know why I was forced to just do a simple table. Everything looks lovely here and I would love to sit and join you for tea. Have a beautiful day and you may send some of your unseasonably warm weather our way.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  17. Everything is so lovely ! I am especially taken with the teapot. Valentine's Day seems almost made for tea parties.

    Your whole home compliments the colors of your table setting and the season, I'd love to share tea with you there.

    It is unseasonably warm here too, in the 60's. Our flower bulbs are sprouting and I just hope we don't get a freeze or they'll die. Still, it is nice to sit on the porch and soak up the sunshine.

  18. Hi Bernideen, I sure wish I could see my bulbs in the flower beds! We have so much snow and getting more tonight! Anyway, I love your Valentine tea. Your special set with the hearts all over it is so lovely and your little angel is so precious. Love the pic with the tulips in the background. Thank you for hosting and have a wonderful Valentine week!

  19. Your comments about the bulbs and the the weather have me thinking of a favorite Robert Frost poem, where he is saying goodbye to his orchard until spring, "Good bye... and keep cold." for that very reason.
    A lovely and whimsical setting that just lifts my spirits. Thank you for hosting. I'm so happy to take part.

  22. Dear Bernideen,

    Everything here is so lovely and heartwarming! We have had lots of snow here in Montreal, Canada, but not as much as some other places. Fortunately for myself I love the winter so it's all good.

    :)
