Valentine Teatime for One - and some NEWS!!

Taking some time for tea with a lovely Royal Albert teacup

 and a few sweet pieces of candy conversation hearts today.

It's a good time to grab my newest Victoria magazine-

with pretty soft pink macarons and a great article about

the costume designer for Downton Abbey.

Isn't the cover absolutely gorgeous?!

I love this old crocheted and linen tea tray liner, 

it's the perfect rectangle shape for any tray - 

and it helps make tea time extra girlie and special...

even if it is just me and only a simple half hour to myself.

It's a nice time to gaze at the beautiful white tulips

my sweet hubs brought me, too. 

(He knows they're one of my very favvie favs!)

I have them in one of the vintage milk glass nobbed vases

that our eldest had on her tables at her wedding reception.

(This is where I had it prior to bringing it over to the table.)

I love that pop of fresh green - especially on such a bright

sunny and cheerful winter's day!

It reminds me spring isn't completely far off, though

this freeze and all this snow would certainly make

it seem much too far away......

Sometimes just tea and  a few simple pieces of candy

is the perfect little tea time break!

And who needs more sweets when I just received the

SWEETEST NEWS last night!!

I was at my civic women's club meeting last night

when I received the greatest text with a picture

from my younger daughter.

All it said was.......................

"Momma, I said yes!"

So, we're all sooooooo happy!

Today I took her to lunch at one of our fav special occasion

girlie luncheon places to celebrate and see the ring.

This pic doesn't do it justice, it is incredible.

It is a STUNNING RING and a stunning couple, too.

No date set, they want to enjoy this a while. 

But of course I will keep you all informed! Hugs!

Yes, the season of love.....oh, and it happened yesterday to be

HIS birthday.

He said that she saying yes

 was "the best gift he could ever hope for."

*Swoon*


BTW: I did a post yesterday showing my 
neutral hearts collection
and some cupid things around the nest.

As always, thank you for you visit!
