Valentines Touches Around the Cottage House…




How fun Valentines Day is for my kids!  We have a valentine fairy that visits while my children are sleeping & surprises the family with some morning fun!  The best part is when I pour the milk in their glasses, it’s always PINK!

Cottage Kitchen…

The kids come into the kitchen to find the table decorated with just a small goodie to make their day special!  This is probably the only day of the year worth showing a “table scape” as we are not fancy and by no means have pretty tables like most of yours – however this breakfast is full of pinks/whites/reds!

What a fun tradition! When my girls were young I would let them invite their very favorite friend over for lunch. It was a dress up affair and I would set the table with our very best and prettiest china and crystal. The table would look romantic and beautiful. I would serve up romantic foods and their dad would stop in for a visit with a rose for each girl. It would be so fun for them to go back to school with tales of their fun "grown up" lunch.

Love your photos, your home, your ideas. A Valentine Fairy at night, that has to be the cutest idea yet. LOVE LOVE LOVE your white with is it pine? furniture and floors. I would so love to have pine flooring, but that is one request my hubby made for the entire house, he loves nice thick carpet, not wood floors. He is such a blessing, of course we have beautiful carpet, not flooring. Happy Pink Saturday, Valentine's Day.

Happy Pink Saturday Sweetie...
I am so in LOVE with your beautiful cottage. It just screams LOVE.

I absolutely adore your dining area, and your hutch is just gorgeous. Oh my is it ever pretty with all of the white ceramic ware. I love it.

Your white tulips really pop, and they are so pretty. I bet the kids love to see what you have done each time you decorate.

Now those two pillows are just the perfect touch to carry it on out in the next room, and your banner is SO pretty. Love it.

I thank you SO much for sharing your beautiful cottage with me this evening. I have so enjoyed myself. I hope you have a wonderful Pink Saturday and just the Happiest Valentine's Day ever.

Many hugs and much love, Sherry
