I am playing in THE FOURTEEN DAYS OF LOVE
with LIZ at THE BRUMBLEBERRY COTTAGE..
This is day 4 and the theme...
STRAIGHT TO THE HEART..

I love HEARTS...the little crystal heart dish belonged to my mother and was
PROBABLY bought at the 5 and Dime...sometime in the 3 early 40's..
It is so pretty...heavy, too.

The little HOME heart pillow is, by far, the cutest andmost loved little pillow I've ever had.
Can you LOVE a little pillow, SHELIA ?
Why, you bet your goose-down feathers, you can !!
My good friend, KATHY that runs KATHY'S COTTAGE made this
My good friend, KATHY that runs KATHY'S COTTAGE made this

Lovely lovey delightful pics Bj ...love 'em all
I am so glad you love your pillow BJ:>) and your home is so filled with love, I'm not surprised to see hearts strewn throughout. I've made lettuce wraps beforre and they are sooo good. Those estate sale dishes were worth every penny you paid, they set a beautiful table and all the little touches you add with candles and the willow tree figurines must make every meal special!
wow wow and wow one more time. The pillow, the food, the dishes.. WOW.
I'm so glad I popped in to see all this eye candy this morning.

Ah, I love all that white with shots of red. You just can't go wrong with that combo, can you? And ooh, those wraps actually do look delicious!!!!
how are you guys doing on your "diet"? Has Mr. Sweet lost any weight?
Justine :o )
Oh I love that sweet pillow of yours too.
Those lettuce wraps look so yummy!
What a great fun blog! So romantic! Stopping by from SITS and planning to look around. Stop by and visit me when you have time.
Wow BJ, just saw your Snow Warning. Added it to my blog too.
Wondering where you learned of this?
I hate the ding-dang Snow thingy myself. It slows down blog loading, etc.
Wow!!!
Would you please give a link to where you found that Warning... About the Snow widget being dangerous to your computer? Please and thank you.
How lovely. I love hearts too.
Mary
I love the Willow figures too..
DH drinks the Yellow Tail Shiraz...very popular here..Sierra Mist Free for me!
Love all your pretty hearts, BJ..
BJ, I love your hearts and black-and-your recipe looks delicious. I didn't use the snowflake app this year. A while back, my visitor counter was hacked by a dating site and I had to delete everything on my sidebar before I isolated the problem. Scary times when this happens.

I especially love the latch heart hanger on the door. I love that your "glass heart" is really a crystal heart and that it has a family history. That tablescape thing - I've just got to get myself together for that. It's neat and something I would love to do. :) Thank yoU! Jenn
That heart pillow is so sweet! I also love your tablescape. Beautiful, as always!
BJ, I love the idea of your table in the library area. You've shared other beautiful table here before. I'm a heart person too. Having taught school for 30 years, I now find myself with more than enough to select from. Thanks for sharing these today. It's always a pleasure to stop by Sweet Nothings.
HI BJ...love your post. Love that bed and that pillow...everything is beautiful. That little pillow is adorable though! My favorite.
Blessings,
Debbie
So nice and peaceful here! Love all you photos; reminds me I should take out all my little angels; great time to display them. Wishing you a fantastic February!
Rita
I love this time of year,too.The cupid has spread hearts and love every where!...and I must try these wraps, healthy and tasty, now who wouldn't want that.
It is all so lovely..especially the pillow. Having a heart collection of my own, it made me so happy to see yours.
Susan
Okay BJ, I am going to stuff myself in an envelope and mail me to your place. All of that yummy-ness has me feeling WAY too left out over here!
XOXOXO,
Dena
Sweet looking hearts, BJ. I think those wraps look yummy...but, the Yankee wouldn't touch them. They look too healthy! LOL
~Liz
Your Willow Tree angels reminded me that I have one, too. Maybe it can be in my 'red' post... . Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the recipe with all of us. I just may have to give it a try for my lunch one day very soon.
Boy do you have lots of hearts!!!
God bless.
BJ, I really love how the room has turned out... looking good! Love all of the hearts and other pretties, too. How wonderful that you have that heart from your mother! :-)
Sending you hugs across the miles...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Your hearts are so pretty, and the mosaics are great! Your table looks beautiful, and I can't wait to try your recipe. laurie
Those lettuce wraps look delicious and yes I love the ones at Pei Wei. Love hearts just like you! And the adorable black and white pillow too.
Beautiful post, BJ!
The wraps look delicious!
Good morning BJ. I too love hearts and your post. So much prettiness. I am definitely making the lettuce wraps. Thanks for the recipe. I can see you are doing great on your diet...NO SWEETS except you. Big smile.
We have snow again and we are snowed in AGAIN! Our driveway is lethal. At least I still have the net. I don't know how to use the snow trick. Good thing huh?
I will mail your surprise as soon as I can.
Love, xoxo, Jeanne
Oh, BJ, thank you for the notice about the snow widget. I have been having trouble with my blog screen for the past few days. It would not stay on. Something else interrupted my screen. And then this morning, a nasty site appeared. I took off the widget and things seem to be better.
Tere are some new Willow Tree pieces out now just in time for Valentine's Day-J'aime, Surrounded By Love, and Love Angel. We've sold out at my store and awaiting replacements for next weekend.
Beautiful post! I love your estate dishes and all of your hearts are so pretty!
I'd love to try your lettuce wraps too, they sound so good!
Really love your post today. The pictures framed by valentines is my favorite. thanks for sharing.
Ann Tin and Sparkle
BJ, I don't know what just happened to blogger. It bleeped me out! lol!
Stopping back by to wish you a Happy Foodie Friday and to ogle your wraps again. Mr. Magpie is a wrapper himself! Loves them, so I want to make a note of what you put in yours. Sounds delish!
Happy Foodie Friday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
MMM the wrap looks yummy and what lovey stuff you have. Happy Day to you.
Debbie
I really like the idea of using lettuce leaves as the wrap. Light and yummy!!
:)
