Valentine's Day~2009~

I never ever believed I would see 55 and 2009..Oy that sounded so old and ancient to me a couple of decades ago:)

I was 17 just yesterday :)So much importance on this day..So much commercialism..
I actually said to my husband..plse don't buy a card.We just know.


He bought me a beautiful card~





I do love the hearts though..and all the pretty things that revolve around them..and I did love the fact that Ben Affleck asked Jennifer Aniston to marry him in the cute movie I saw this week~
Come to think of it..it was a cute Valentine's movie:)

I was inspired to post today because I made cookies for the boys.. and cookies for a friend..and thought of Jain and Mary and Sol.. All 3 have inspired so many of my new ideas..Not only those 3.. many on the internet have inspired me..food..family.. gardens..travel..
I just told J today..I have learned so much on the internet.
About many things~

This little plate..minus the cookie and the crumb..came to me a couple of years ago via Jain..



It was for Lulu..We only had Lulu then..

These are the pecan linzers..I will post the recipe if anyone wants it..different than the other~

I made 3/4 Nutella because my daughter is right:)

and 1/4 jam because I wanted to see red:)






I made Sol's little heart steamcups that you saw yesterday~:)

And Mary's painted cookies~



Never as pretty as Mary's..and all her idea..but I do love making these!



These were the boys Valentine cookies w/ rice papers that Jain sent me last year..from Fancy Flours..I ordered some from them this year also and Jain was nice enough to ship to me ..




Fancy Flours is a beautiful site!!

My dear neighbour brought me a package.. a spot we had muffins and coffee at in town a while ago..I thought that was so sweet..


I ribboned some linzers ..



And set a mini table for 2 at lunch...





I've always love cupids and hearts you see:)



These have been in our home for as long as I can remember~

I made a small seafood salad for lunch that I put in my puff pastry hearts..


Have fun today..





This is a little tribute to..






Jojo gave me this Fairy years and years ago..she hasn't aged one bit:)
