Letters to Juliet

Hello Ladies!

     I hope everyone had a "special" evening with their loved ones on Valentines.
Here was quite. I was up way to early to catch a train ride to DC for a job interview/test.  The earliest train out of DC was at 3:35. By the time I got home I was beat!  I am not use to those "early" morning rises and I am use to those "late owl" nights! Needless to say, I crashed early! We will have a dinner another night.
     I though I would carry over last weeks post to this week with the Letters to Juliet.  After being in Verona and fell in love with the city and then the movie came, I was all into it to re see the places that I had once visited.
The "What If" post and this post are inspirations from the movie.  I hope you enjoy the pics!

2 doz of chocolate covered strawberries I did for my brother's sweetie

I used his gift as a centerpiece until I got mine

I thought these butter dishes were so cute. Came from Sonoma Williams

Found these lovely heart shape plate at Wegmans. The square plate at Khol's

Every arrangement that I made was in a coffee mug, chocolates, a glass rose and of course these yummie strawberries!

covered in pretzels, mini chocolate chips, nuts, pearlized pearls, and peppermint. Scrolls are in colored white chocolate and peanut butter chocolate. Dipped in Dark, Milk or White and only the good chocolate.

A special berry just for you....

In front of our place setting I have our wedding picture with love letters scattered all over the table.

I bought this sparkling brut for the bottle. I hope it tastes good.....

Mr. Me came through....My favorite..Tulips!

Note cards (love letters) scattered on the table

Note paper in a cute container found at the dollar store.

To the right is the letter that was written to Juliet and the response letter with the pen. A very girly girl movie.....

a little candlelight to set the mood....

candlelabras came from ebay. Purchase 2 of them and 1 is silver plated and the other one is pewter plated. I guess you can say I flubbed up on that purchase......ugh!

Sweet comments are a inspiration to read. Please feel free to leave one or two!

What If?

 What If?

"What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side by side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. What if, What if, What if?

What if there was no cotton to make this beautiful hand made topper?

What if there were no molds to make these lovely dishes?

What if there were no artists to paint the delicate flowers?

What if color was just black and white?

What if there was no BLING?

 What if there was no Royal Warwick to create this Chocolate Pot to hold all of my pretties?

And this Sugar bowl?

But, What If we take the time to treasure our love like a blossom of a rose? It starts out as a bud and gradually opens up to a beautiful flower. The many petals on a rose is like the many layers in love.





What If you had a chance of finding true love?
The greatest love story told.......is your own.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Oo La La... Sweetness!

Oo La La...Sweetness

Hi Ladies!  For those who have gotten snow, do you need something warm to satisfy those cravings?
Slide on down to my place and I will take care of that! No snow you say? Come on over anyway and we will have a wonderful time with our chocolate drinks!

    We finally got snow and I am so happy! It is sooooo beautiful outside, looking at the trees that is just heavy with snow. So I thought a beverage station was in order. It has been set up for a while and just keep switching out cups, plates, etc. We are set up for Valentines. So please, come join me!

 I have plenty of mugs....

 For those cold brisk days,  a cup or two will do....

Some Swiss Mocha and Marshmallows....

 Cinnamon and Amaretto to make an ADULT Mexican Mocho

I used a lotion dispenser for the amaretto

 Or would you prefer tea?

 Don't forget your silver spoon!

Grab a plate.....

Please don't forget your truffles.  Coconut, Pearl Beads or Crystal Sugar..you pick!
(Jacqueline over at Purple Chocolat Home  has a delightful recipe for her snowball cookie pops. It looks fantastic and easy to make. I wish I knew about it before I made these. These truffles had more steps then hers.)

I am sure what ever we drink and eat, we will have a wonderful time getting to know each other!
Thank you for stopping by!


Until the next time,
Muah!    Andrea
