(warning: in this post no flowers, blossoms, gardens, birds or such make an appearance… But there is cake!)
This is what D saw on his desk when he went down to our office this morning.
Being an Englishman, he is not familiar with our Valentine customs.
Especially not Sweetheart candies with sayings on them!
It was actually very impromptu.
I’d made the card and gotten the little cake.
But then remembered I had the heart shaped dish up in my prop boxes in the attic.
And decided to include the cute Sweetheart candy ribboned ornaments (on sale at Joanns). I didn’t have anything to hang them on so put them on a little gold crown I got at Faded Elegance last month.
Then I had to put the crown on something, so I ejected the dried hydrangea which was in this gold mini urn and plopped the crown on top of that.
The final touch was a spritely tossing and flinging of real Sweethearts around the whole tableau, with special ones chosen for the top of the cake (I♥You, Be Mine, For Ever, Love Me, XOXO and Hey Babe – although he hates being called “babe”)
Realize, this is all happening at about 1:00 am. Thus, I beg forgiveness for the quality of the shots. I was too bleary eyed to haul out the tripod, so these were lit by his desk light.
:)
Oh, btw, even though I realized when looking at these shots that it’s all very girly, he loved everything.
Especially the cake!
Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, I hope your Sunday was filled with love and sweetness.
