Be Mine, Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  I can hardly believe it's already mid-February.  This year is just flying by. Tonight, we are staying in and cooking a nice romantic dinner for two.  And tomorrow will be our special date night to the spot where we had our first date.  We always look forward to that too. 

Here's a quick look at how our house is duded up for just this time of year.  

The dining room will be where we eat tonight.  This is a huge departure for us, but every now and again for special nights such as this, we act like grown-ups and actually take advantage of this room. 

And here's the kitchen table.  We eat here almost every other night.   

These little plates are new for this year.  They are from Pottery Barn Kids, and are on sale now, if you are interested in scoring a few of your own.  

Here's our little wine nook.  Check out my vintage Valentine cards, my bottle of Chocolate box wine, and my special tea towel from the Loveless Cafe here in Nashville. 

See what it says?  Perfect for Valentine's, I thought!

And look who received her very first Valentine cards this year.  Peanut isn't even here yet, and she already has a couple of the finest Valentines around- her Grammie and P-pa.  

And did you see?  They both feature a cocker spaniel!!  Be still my heart!  That is surely in honor of my other dear Valentine, our sweet pup- Isabel Lucille. 

Oh, it's already been a good Valentine's Day here, and there's still so much more in store.  Hope you are sharing this special day with all your sweet Valentines!  Enjoy!!
