Guess what? It's time to start getting ready for Valentine's again. This is always a fun time for grown-ups and children. My mother especially loves Valentine. She and I took a break and started fiddling around with how the table should be set for the party she is giving. She wants to cook a romantic french dinner and have each guest wear a large paper heart like Julia Child's did in the movie Julia & Julia (not even Meryl Streep can do her justice). Can't wait! ..... Some fun little facts I know about Julia Child, who is my ABSOLUTE favorite: she thought Mc Donald's was not bad at all, and she was seen in the Santa Barbara -Costco purchasing the roasted chickens for her dinner. Let's face it she was a very REAL and intelligent woman who was no superficial snob.

Hi, I just popped over to see your very lovely blog. I adore your Valentine's table it is so charming. I see in your sidebar that you are writing a children's book that is something we have in common I have recently published my first children's book, so good luck with yours and let me know when it is available!
Stopping by from SITS and wishing you a Happt Thursday!!!!
Oh and you even have the Old Country Roses tealight warmer for the teapot!!!! A girl after my own heart!!! I love the table setting... Such fun... Wish I was on the invitation list! LOL
Thanks for visiting (and following) my blog... I'm thrilled to have you. You're always welcome at my blog-home!
Stopping by from SITS. I loved the movie Julie and Julia. I didn't know much about Julia child, but I got into her after the movie. She was a very real woman. Totally unpretentious.
I did enjoy Julie & Julia and thought it would be cool to have the big paper hearts on Valentine party guests. Love your tea set. My daughter would go nuts for that.
I love tea parties. My mother-in-law started the tradition with my daughters when they were small. You can't visit grandma without having a tea party.
I love tea parties so much. I wish I could enjoy them more!

Love the Valentine's table and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has decorated the table already! I'm in love with chintz and your (your mom's?) set is so pretty! I LOVE Valentine's Day too. I don't know why... we don't even do much for it. I just love pinks and reds and hearts!!!
Love, love, love the crystal roses! Where did you get those? Beautiful! Stopping in from SITS!
