Heart Day is getting closer
So join me for a treat
A heart cookie on the cup (cookie on a cup cutter from WS Outlet)
And plenty more to eat!
Maybe some heart shaped muffins
Made with berries oh so blue,
Or perhaps a slice of home made bread,
With raisins and cinnamon too! (recipe here)
I set a simple table
Or does this one catch your eye?
Perhaps a bit more fancy,
A Top Hat and black tie. ( See this table here.)
Whatever you choose is up to you
I just hope your day is fine
Sharing lots of heart felt things
With your special Valentine!
Now if all of this is just too much,
And you're not into glam,
Keep it something simple,
Like a sandwich made with Ham! :)
I hope you'll join Laurie's party
She's always so much fun,
You know you are invited,
And there are prizes to be won!
I am joining the Valentine Party at Bargain Hunting with LaurieSeasonal Sunday with The Tablescaper

I love them all! Especially the one with the top hat-cute and different. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteSo MANY wonderful hearts!! I am loving that sandwich and all the different heart goodies :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Gail
So many great ideas! I love the top hat and the cookie on the cup!
ReplyDeleteI'll skip the ham :-) I'm into the glam! Love all the hearts.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love the the tables, the treats and the words :)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a poetic soul -- and a damn fine chef and tablescaper too! I always get hungry when I visit.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about those napkin rings -- yes, I did make them. They were my gift to my favorite cousin who is now 91, but I made them a couple of years ago. I bought some hot pink ribbon to make some for myself, but I haven't found the right "rings" to go inside those yet. She has a red and white kitchen with lots of polka dots and red countertops, and she keeps them in one of her milk glass pieces on her kitchen table like a centerpiece.
Everything looks great K! I'd love a big ole slice of that cin/raisin bread! And the "on the cup" cookie cutters are too cute:@)
ReplyDeleteAhh..I just made angel wing cookies that sit like that..but your hearts sit perfectly..Gotta love W_S..I know u do!
ReplyDeleteI bought fish bread ..like you showed us..found it in the states..the boys wouldn't eta it..they probably thought it tasted like fish~:)
Happy heart day K.
Just lovely and creative.
ReplyDeleteCathy
I want a piece of that cinnamon raisin bread! Toasted and with a smathering of butter, please.... LOL
ReplyDeleteLuv all of your table/place setting, Kathleen. I really like your napkins with the red lips, but the simple place setting with the white heart plate and bowl is my fav! Ahhh- the love day....
Love all the hearts, food and non-food alike! Can hardly wait for dear to come home so we can go out to eat after visiting here.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute post! You are so creative. If I lived at your house, I'd weigh 500 pounds. Everything you makes always looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'd start my way in your cozy kitchen
ReplyDeleteWhere we would be sipping tea and dishin
Then I would be rolled in the dining room
Where my hand would zoom
grabbing cookies, muffins and bread
Til my head went BOOM!!
I love every setting, could not choose just one! xo
I like them all...from the glam to the ham. And again, I love your "storytelling." :) I've never been one to like heart dishes much, until my life in blogging started, and now I {heart} heart dishes :) I especially love your filigree ones! I bet Valentine's Day is a fun one at your house, but I'll wish you a happy one anyway.
ReplyDeleteLove all the glam! But I am more of a ham :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I love all the hearts and great looking food! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteKathleen, did you get the heart-on-a-cup cutter a long time ago? I went on line to find it, but it's not there.
ReplyDeleteLove all the dots.
Visiting you always leaves a great big smile on my face. Thanks for all the inspiration! Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet table.
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots!!
Have a great weekend :)
So much to love, so little time:)
ReplyDeleteKathleen you have outdone yourself with these Valentines Day tablescapes. I am having a hard time choosing which one I like best,hmm! I will take all of them. ~smile! And the treats look so delicious. Thanks for always inspiring me. You are very talented and gifted.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Hugs,
Sue
Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI'm with Cherry Kay -- visiting you always makes me smile. :)
Your food looks wonderful, as usual. But I especially love your heart-shaped filigree plates. Do you mind if I ask where you got them? They're beautiful!
Hope you have a great weekend.

I'm loving all your little hearts and now I'm inspired to make something special for hubby. Something with hearts...and a peach cobbler which he loves. Maybe heart shapes on top? Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I just knew you'd have a little poem for the occasion. Fun to see all your heart felt foods. Makes me want to spend some time in the kitchen. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the little tea cup cookies. When I was in France this past fall I brought back some sugar cubes in various shapes that would hook onto the cup. I think the cookie idea is better. I'm going to have to get one of these cutters. ~ Sarah
Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteIt's me again. Thanks for the visit! To answer your question, I definitely won't be getting rid of the baker's rack; it's one of my favorite pieces. And I was betting you'd gotten those plates at the Christmas Tree Store. They really are beautiful Valentine plates. I was in there last week, but most of the Valentines stuff was gone.
What do you mean by a "no reply addy"? I've seen that mentioned before, but I don't know what it is.

Kathleen...so love the cookies on the cup..How creative are you?...Loved all the settings...they are always so beautiful and creative...Happy Valentines Day!! xoxo's
ReplyDeleteAfter Christmas I didn't think I would want chocolate again but yours look so tempting.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table and the little cookies on the cups are a great idea.
You are too funny with your poems and rhymes. My that is quite the selection of valentine touches! Mr. Cuisine is a very lucky man.
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
So many wonderful Valentine tables Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteAnd great food too, love your poems!
Hugs,
Cindy
I want ONE OF EACH.... The food AND the plates!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThose white lacy heart plates are just beautiful & I REALLY like the silver ♥ candy dish!
You are the most amazing shopper, Kathleen...honestly, you snag some of the most wonderful bargains & are able to use them so creatively. You KNOW I'm GREEN with envy.
Hugs,
Rett
p.s. Did you just cut a slit in your ♥ cookies BEFORE you baked them??? That's not a special cookie cutter, is it???
Beautiful!!! All that eye candy and real candy too! Great ideas and inspiration for Valentines! I need to get busy!
ReplyDeleteI love those polka dot plates and bowls in your header..I have some too and they are some of my favs!
Happy Valentines Day!
Miss Bloomers
I'll have a little of everything but I love your heart ham sandwich with the arrow! Maybe a truffle or two afterward :)
ReplyDeleteLove your rhymin'. Or rappin' :) Everything looks delicious! Thanks for sharing. Happy Valentine Pink Saturday!! ~Lorraine ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteKathleen, you're too much! What a wonderful post filled with Valentineness to the hilt! I'd have a hard time deciding which setting to sit down at but I'll take one of each of your tasty looking food.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia;)
Oh Kathleen, I'd be happy to be sitting at any of your tables & of course your poetry just puts a happy smile on my face. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun start to my morning with all your heart felt touches served with a side of poetry this morning! I'm envious of your WS outlet~ the cookie cutter for your teacup makes my heart happy! ♥

Love your photos so beautiful! thanks for sharing Joann
ReplyDeleteSo many fun Valentine ideas here! You have a lot of cute and pretty things to play with. I hope your day is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI loved this tour de Valentine! Each table is a joy. But my heart was stolen by the red and white dots on your header! I'm excited about your annual blog crawl for St. Patrick's!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness girl, I wanna come to your house for Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteAmazin' tablescapes...ya did St. Valentine's up proud!
God bless ya and have a wonderful Valentine's yourself sweetie!!! :o)
Love your Valentine's Day Post, Kathleen. Hope your day is a happy one.
ReplyDeleteEach of your tables looks so inviting. The first and last tables are my favorite, As mentioned earlier, I love the idea of the cookie on the cup, so I'd love to know how you did that. Sounds like that would make a great post if the cutter wasn't made for that purpose.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all your pretty tables and for linking up to my party.
Kathleen, I just had to come see for myself. I can't believe my comment didn't post! I hope my comments on other blogs posted. When I first saw this post, I had to scroll through twice - once to read your cute poem, and another time to look at your pretty tablescapes. This post added so much to my party, and I'm so sorry my comment didn't post. I also said I was going to have to go see "Bill" to see if there were any more of those adorable cookie cutters left. Thanks again for linking. Can't wait for the Blog Crawl! laurie
ReplyDeleteHow very fun! Your red transferware and "eyelet" plates are Judy beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table, Kathleen! I love your creamy heart shaped plates. I just bought a small cake pedestal today at Tuesday Morning that would probably go well with those dishes.
