All Things Pink

Well friends, Valentine's Day is ONE WEEK from today. Are you ready? NOTE: If you are one of those Valentine naysayers you might as well skip reading this blog entry. I am one of those people that likes Valentine's day. Not only now that I am happily married to my forever lovie, but because it's a special day to show all of the people you love, that you love them. I have fond memories of elementary school Valentine's parties, grocery store rose bouquets from middle/high school boyfriends and of course the smell of the huge red roses my dad has gotten my mom every year. Now that I am married Brandon and I have our own little traditions. Every year he makes me my favorite...chocolate covered strawberries, I coax him to sip sparkling wine with me and we go out to eat somewhere. That may not sound romantic, but we don't need an elaborate show of diamonds, red candles and cherry cough syrup smelling edible body oils to celebrate. One of my favorite things about my husband is that he shows me he loves me every day, not with flowers, candy, gifts, etc...but when he makes me laugh and forget about the bad mood I'm in, or "slaves" over a hot supper for us (even if it is fish sticks and french fries). Anyway, I haven't really been in the Valentine mood yet until today. Look at these finds I discovered to add a little cupid to our house...

 This new fragranced candle from Yankee Candle Co. smells light and slightly rosey, not too strong, but like there's a flower bouquet hidden somewhere in the house.

Kind of a bad pic, but this Valentine tea towel is presh. I got it of course at Homegoods. I like subtle holiday decorations (with the exception of Christmas). AND MY FAVORITE......

So you can barely tell in this picture but these are PINK champagne flutes that I bought at Crate and Barrel today. They are absolutely diva/fabulous/festive. I can't wait to pop the cork on my favorite sparkling wine, Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante next week :-)
