Valentine's Day ~ Tea for Two, Romantic Dinner, and Decadent Dessert!

What could be nicer than a 

Valentine's Day tea for two?

...Maybe a romantic dinner with a nice wine?

...How about a late night dessert of strawberries dipped in chocolate... and a glass or two of champagne?

How about all three?!

Tea for Two

This fine bone china is Old Country Roses made in England by Royal Albert, and it was passed down to me by my mother.

Tea is served at 4 o'clock.

This clock is 24k gold plated and was given to me by my mother forty years ago.

My sweetheart and me.

He is 6'3"... I am not.

We have be happily married for 30 years. We are blessed and appreciate that... because it is the second marriage for both of us.

We met on a blind date!

These are faux candies. The are very good for any diet plan... because they are 100% calorie free ;) 

I offer these and more on my website.

(information is on top of sidebar)

These pretty little sugar cubes are also faux.

This large table doily was also my mother's and is very old.

The napkins are actually pretty little hankies that I opened for today's tablescape. They  were my mothers and they are also old.

Did you enjoy your tea?


Dinner will be served at 8 o'clock.

Oh My... dinner is starting late.

We will have some nice wine in the Princess House stemware.

I've used long taper candles for a romantic feel. The wine will also help with that.

The dinner plates are from TJ Maxx.

The flatware has real gold detailing. It was fairly inexpensive, but still feels good in the hand.

These little lead crystal candle holders have a real gold band on them and were found at Goodwill. I have a punch card there... do you?

The china also is trimmed with gold.

There we are again... do you see us?

We are very lucky to have each other!

Time sure has passed quickly!

It's 10:35 and I'm ready for dessert!

We have a nice bubbly champagne!

These are the old fashioned champagne glasses, not the fluted ones that are so popular today.

I just can't resist lovely plump strawberries dipped in decadent milk chocolate... how about you?

Or do you prefer dark?

I will place the fresh strawberries in the little oblong dish, and the chocolate in the precious little swan... just the right size for dipping the tip of the berry!

These champagne glasses are lead crystal and have a beautiful "ring" to them when you tap on the rim.

They are from Princess House.

I sold Princess House when my girls were 10 and 6, and the  boys (twins) were just toddlers.

Is that still in business?

Well... look at the time...  

It's almost midnight!

Good night to all my bloggy buddies!

Thank you so much for visiting me today. I enjoyed my little Valentine fantasy.

My husband and I will not be together this year for Valentine's Day. I think that might be a first.

He will be back soon, to help with more of our preparation to sell the house.
