When friends wing their way to your home
from across the miles, it is indeed a sweet treat.
It's an occasion to pull out some
pretty china and set a welcoming table.
Red checks and tassels!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
What could be more fun for
celebrating good friends?
Old French mustard crocks hold stems of anemones
in joyful anticipation of our friends' arrival.
The vintage crocks, little souvenirs from
a long ago vacation in France,
are a nod to our shared love of all things French.
Marcella Hazan's Pasta Bolognese over a bed of spinach
provided a perfect one dish meal upon arrival.
Love Letter hand pies ~
the perfect little endulgance to end the evening!
Thank you, Tiny Pies of Austin!
Happy Valentine's Day 2018
to each of you across the miles!

ReplyDeleteHi i am Belvin Kushie from US I have just experience the wonders of Dr. Ogudugu love spell, that have been spread on the internet and worldwide, How he marvelously helped people all over the world to restored back their marriage life and get back lost lovers, and also help to win lottery. I contacted him after going through so many testimonies from different people how he help to bring back ex lover back, i told him about my husband that abandoned me about 8 months ago, and left home with all i had.. Dr. Ogudugu only told me to smile and have a rest of mind he will handle all in just 24 hours, After the second day my husband called me, i was just so shocked, i pick the call and couldn't believe my ears, he was really begging me to forgive him and making promises on phone.. He came back home and also got me a new car just for him to proof his love for me. i was so happy and called Dr.Ogudugu and thanked him, he only told me to share the good news all over the world ..Well if your need an effective and real spell caster contact Dr Ogudugu Via email: greatogudugu@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteMuch love...
Good news. my testimony is about the powerful spell caster called Dr babaoda who helped me to restored me to bring back my wife after she saw me hugging a lady, and she took it hard that i am having affair with the lady and she left home. i tried all my best to get her back but all to no avail. and it so frustrating but i head on getting back no matter what. did all i could but i was still couldn't until i saw a so much comment on how Dr babaoda has restored Ex back and many broken home. i mail him and he told me to relax that my wife will come back to me after he has cast the love spell in 48hours. my wife will call and first apologize and then come back home and apologize again. so i gave in and he did the spell and after 48hours my wife did as he has said. today my family is back as an happy family. All to Dr babaoda. Email him:babaodanigo@outlook.com
