it 's odd the things we inherit from our family.
My MoMa l o v e d Elvis Presley!
Me, not so~o~o much.
I inherited my MoMa's Classic Rose Narumi Fine China (Japan).
Although, I haven't used it every Thanksgiving and Christmas, as she did.
I do, occasionally, bring it down from the heirloom buffet(my Grandmother's)
and hutch made by "Mr. Ed" for a 'special occasion'.
The soft pink roses are similar to those used at our Wedding.
So, what better way to celebrate our love (that) was meant to be
than with a Valentine's Day Tablescape?
Silver pieces are another heirloom from my MoMa.
I enjoy silver polishing days On Crooked Creek!
I prefer all my silver, heirloom and purchased, to be brightly polished.
That being said, you'll see a sprinkling of silver pieces
throughout this Valentine's Day Tablescape.
A mix of a vintage Valentine postcard
and with a touch of vintage (Punch Studio) miniature Valentine card
served as place cards within my silver place card holders.
A boxed red heart filled with Chocolate Turtles,
placed to the left of "Mr. Ed's" place setting
and the intricate Hallmark Valentine Card I gave "Mr. Ed"
on the first Valentine's Day after we were married
serve as romantic accessories.
These decadent heart~shaped dessert cups are filled to the brim
with French Vanilla Cheesecake Pudding topped with dark
and white chocolate curls and a dollop of whipped cream
with additional chocolate curls.
The silver hearts with their curled sheer white wired ribbon
are the perfect favor for this romantic Valentine Day Tablescape.
Can't Help Falling in Love. . .
Elvis Presley
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
Our love was meant to be!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Until next time. . .
