Happy Love Day, friends!
I had a lovely Valentine's Day full of tradition and joy. My momma and I hosted our 11th annual Valentine's Tea Party today- a tradition that we love. I absolutely ADORE hosting those sweet girls and planning out all the details for the party every year.
On Monday a flower truck pulled up to our house and delivered a dozen roses for me and two dozen roses for my momma, all from my daddy. So sweet! He's been doing this for us every year since I was born. I love him so much!
My momma gave me an early gift: a Starbucks coffee cup! I love it!
She made Christ's conversation hearts out of Dove chocolates and paper hearts with who we are in Christ written on each one. She also painted some wooden letters with chalkboard paint and hot glued them to a burlap strip to make a "LOVE" banner. She is so stinkin' creative!
I made a heart garland because I'm just super cool like that, stealing ideas off Pinterest and all.
I stayed up late last night making "sample crafts" for the girls to go off of for the party. They turned out really well! I'm not sure what I want to do with them yet though...
The soundtrack for the party consisted of Mr. Frank Sinatra and the (super handsome) Michael Buble :)
We made tons of finger sandwiches.
But eventually this mess...
Turned into this...
The girls painted little birds and hearts and they all turned out adorably!
One girl painted the words of Mr. Darcy: "You have bewitched me body and soul" on her heart. I was so jealous that I didn't come up with that idea myself.
In their baby takeout boxes were: a pearl bracelet, some conversation hearts, and a little candle. I was so proud of how the stamping of their names turned out :)
So now, to end my oh-so-perfect Love Day, I'm wearing my new pajamas and writing this blog post to you, my dears.
I hope you all had a marvleous day!

ReplyDeleteYou're too sweet, Natalie! I absolutely love your blog too. Today I read a bunch of the love stories and I was just sitting there "awww"-ing like a weirdo, but I couldn't help myself. They were all so sweet! Thank you for dropping by :) It's really cool that even with all the followers you have you still take time to visit their blogs. Thanks!
