We broke out the fine china and crystal last night. It was just the four of us, but I said, “Why the hell not?” If not now…when?
What does Valentine’s Day look like for a housewife in suburbia with 2 young boys?
The Table:
- a glassybaby used as a vase for flowers
- specially decorated votive candle holder my oldest gave me today (made for me at a party coordinated by other wonderful women!)
- porcelain tea light holders {found at a local shop ~ c. michelle }
- marble wine coaster
- chalkboard napkin rings {at World Market or you can DIY}
- Waterford Lismore goblets
- Vintage Noritake China
Valentine’s lessons from a modern housewife:
- if you want flowers, buy them for yourself
- boys, 5 and 7 years old, can drink from a wine glass and use a cloth napkin
- keep it simple, but dress it up. (I am referring to the meal.)
- doritos look devine on fine china
- a pan of brownies and a heart shaped cookie cutter. (You never reveal how you baked brownies in perfect heart shapes.)
