No Tea Party!

Our Valentine Tea that was scheduled for this past Saturday had to be cancelled!

Our hostess and her family came down with the stomach flu......so no Valentine Tea.
We missed seeing each other, but no one wants to get sick and no one who is sick wants to host a tea party!

I spent my time Saturday, putting a few Valentine's out.


I did a few smaller vignettes...In the past I would decorate my sideboard, but one of our girls gave us her flat panel TV, (who could say no to a gift like that), but it did not fit in our entertainment center and I ended up using my sideboard for the TV.

I may still switch things around but I did not want to buy something for the flat panel just to buy....one, I didn't really want to spend the money. and two, I couldn't find something that I just loved!


Valentine's from previous swaps! 


Love unpacking the Valentine box!  So much fun to look at such wonderful creations!



A favorite Valentine of mine.....one my Dad gave to my Mom!


I've seen some wonderful Valentine displays on other blogs! 

I decide to go with simple displays this year, just don't have quite the energy to get to put out too much. Work is very busy, and it feels like I just got Christmas put away!

Are you doing much Valentine decorating this year?

  2. So sorry to hear your tea party was cancelled. Maybe y'all could have a St. Patricks Day Tea party! I love getting all my decorations out as well. It's like reconnecting with old friends. I always think of past swap partners when I pull out their creations and gifts. Blogging buddies are the best!

  7. You are right, no one wants the tummy flu...Your valentine vignette is so sweet! I didn't put out as much this year either. Just on the mantle and a couple on the bow window. I can't wait for EASTER decorating!
    warmly,

  16. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving the nice comment. I'm now following you, too. I love that white rooster with the valentine ribbon tied around his neck. The valentine from your dad to your mother is so sweet. The colors are perfect. Have a healthy, happy weekend. ~ Nancy
