SWEET

Sweet (pronounced in three syllables if you are from my area of Texas), is the kind of week I am having.

Have you ever just had a very lucky shopping day?

The kind where you leisurely shop for a treasure, nothing in mind...just the thing that tugs at your heartstrings?

Treasures, are most assuredly, in the eye of the beholder. I recently purchased a bargain box, and feel like I hit the motherlode! And just in time for Tablescape Thursday (click here to go see some really beautiful ideas)!




I was wanting something sweet for my Valentine's table. Nothing in mind...just something that would speak to me...I could see everything in the box and I just couldn't pass it up. (click on photo to enlarge)













Isn't it just perfect? Well, I know, I get a little excited over very simple things, but I really think that Lefton dessert set is going to be perfect with....





our goblets and heart shaped suckers...



Grandma's cut glass vases filled with ice cream salt and tea light candles...



vintage linens...



Vera Wang napkins purchased at a bargain price...

I'm almost ready to welcome the girls over, just a few more things to finish before they get here.

Hope you have something special planned for your Valentine!
