A few VALENTINES from the past...
and some from the present.
♥
VALENTINE'S DAY
has always been a favorite holiday of mine.
I can remember getting the most beautiful,
mostly handmade cards from school mates...
and I definitely remember my first box of candy
from....a....boy !

Mr. Sweet is my favorite VALENTINE...
I made him a big, ole
CHOCOLATE PECAN FUDGE HEART..
and he loved it. :)
Not a Valentine lunch...
this was in the heart of the summer...
salad, served on heart shaped plates taste TWICE as good...
....a pretty VALENTINE dessert....
This beautiful VINTAGE, bisque angel
hung above childhood photos of my brother and I
all the time we were growing up.
Mother said it was our guardian angel...
She is so pretty...and I am so glad to have her.
The most beautiful little crystal paperweight with
Love grows...
a treasured gift from my son and daughter when they were teenagers...
*sigh
I am blessed.
These LOVE BIRDS are for all of you and your sweeties....
That Valentine Pie looks a little ragged...
but it sure tasted good...
MR. SWEET....
We will be Valentines
forever and ever.......
amen !
We both hope your Valentine season is filled
with LOVE and ROMANCE and HAPPINESS.

What a pretty table! I just love that red tablecloth, it jumps off the page! Happy ♥ to you and Mr. 2 Sweet! :) You are a grand couple!
What a sweet post! I loved seeing all of your pretty sweet nothings and yummy food.
This is so sweet! Not only do I like everything you put on the table, but I really love the love story of you and your husband for 50 years.
That's wonderful. I want to be you when I "grow up".
BJ, I love your summer table. Love the red tablecloth and the polka dot and red heart plates. Needless to say, yor food looks good too, as always. Congrats to you and your Valentine!
Blessings, Beth
Hi BJ
Loved the summer table with all the hearts...and the "heart healthy" salad. :-) It's so wonderful to read that you and your sweet man have been happily married for 50 years. In today's world, that's an amazing feat!
Enjoy your "sweetest day".
Jane (artfully graced)
Hello Ms. BJ!
I adore your images!
I wanted to invite you to the two linky parties I am planning. The first will be on February 23~ High Tea Tablescapes. Details can be found on my Wednesday posts. There will be PRIZES!
Happy Valentine's Day!
What a delightfully romantic post, the two of you look perfect together, BJ.
Love all your settings, the heart shaped plates are adorable.
May I take just a small slice of that wicked looking lemon meringue pie, please?
BJ, I'm back this morning for another slice of lemon meringue. Yum! ~ Sarah
Thanks so much for joining me BJ!! I love your pretty red table. I also read your "scared" post and had a good laugh. I can just picture this. Me and the 5 yr old were home the other day and something went thump thump in the dining room right after I took the pictures for this post of my G. Grandfather's desk. We still don't know what it was. It was pretty loud. My 5 yr old turns to me (has seen ghost hunters w/teens a few times too many) and he says, "do you think that was your great grandpa because you are taking pictures of his desk?" LOL I assured him that he probably would love the desk being used. Your post was just so funny because we just had the same kind of experience. Thanks so much again for coming by.
Sherry
I enjoyed reading your Valentine tribute. Thanks for joining The Colors of Love!
BJ, what a wonderful post! 50 years and still in love! You can't send a better Valentine message than that! What a cute photo of the two of you. I luv your polka dot plates, and your dessert looks delicious! Thank you so much for linking this testament to enduring love to the Valentine party. laurie
Love your pink choices today. That table is gorgeous. Happy Valentine's Day and Pink Saturday.
Awww I just love the idea of using those heart-shaped plates anytime rather than just on Valentine's Day! Must be true love!
HPS,
Jacalyn
