This Sunday I hosted a dinner party in honor of our Daughter and Grandmothers Birthdays.
Between Church, Catechism and our usual Sunday routine, it left us with 2 hours to clean the house,
cook dinner for twelve and set the table.
Most importantly, set the table.
I didn't prepare ahead.
I had to use what I had on hand.
There was no time to panic.
I thought maybe I could pull off a Valentines Day theme by using some of my red Christmas Decor.
It was quick, easy, cost nothing and appeared to be thought out.
Even Murphie (who can't resist a sunny corner in the dining room) dressed up to match.
The kids are excited about having "Valentines" decorations.
Do you decorate for Valentines Day?
Linking up to The Stories of A2Z Valentines Party.
This is beautiful! I love amaryllis!

ReplyDeleteI love that you were able to pull together a pretty look with things you already had around the house. I'm all about saving money.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll stop by my blog soon, I nominated you for an award.
Looks great! I wish I was successful in pulling something together that fast that looks that nice!
ReplyDeleteI thought you did a dandy job only having 2 hours to do all that, my goodness!!
ReplyDeleteThink the table looked lovely, and well put together, very clean and simple. I like that!
Don't you just love it when you can use what you have and it comes out so well.
Blessings hon, Nellie
