Valentine's Day at the Coffee Table


 
 

I did a quick tablescape for Valentine's Day on the coffee table, since my hubby recently came home from the hopital.    I used the barn wood box that my dear hubby made me back in December.    I have always admired the pretty box that Marlis from Creative Journey's uses.  Isn't it nice how we get inspiration from others?  You can see how I did a makeover on the cherubs here.

 

 
 

We had pizza and used our Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles.  Who needs flatware when eating pizza??  We sure don't!!  I placed them on a pretty runner and used red napkins to hide any tell-tale pizza stains. 

 
 
 

For my hubby, I made his favorite meal after coming home from the hospital.  You can read all about that pizza here.  I hope you make some homemade pizza for someone you love.

 

My hubby's favorite candy bar is Snickers.  I was in such a tizzy when I made these, that the caramel layer went on top...OOPS!  Oh well, they still tasted good.  The recipe for the homemade snickers can be found here

  

 
I am sharing this with:
 

 
Thanks for visiting and Happy Valentine's Day! xo

  16. Very nice, Kitty...a great, low-keyed way to celebrate your love. We're not going out to eat, but having lobster at home instead.

    Your wooden box looks wonderful...I've been coveting one since I first saw Anita & Marlis decorate theirs. Yours is extra special because your sweet hubby made it for you!

    Hugs,

  25. A heart pizza....I love it. Why have I never thought of a shaped crust. We sometimes eat from the coffee table so I can have a fire going. I do believe we have the same Johnson Bros. pattern. Wanna do a party?

  34. OK...I'm going to show my weird side here: I DO eat pizza with a knife ad fork!!! I can't help it!!! It's so messy and runny and gooey...I NEED a fork!!! I'm probably going to be ostracized by all for this horrid admission, but there...it's out there! I feel better! My name is Alycia, and I eat pizza with a fork!!! :-) Your heart shaped pizza is so cool! We rarely ever order pizza from a restaurant anymore. I almost always make it. Usually individual ones so everyone has the topping(s) they want. You really hooked up your wooden box!!! I had 3 or 4 of those boxes around here, but I can only seem to find one. I'll have to wait until Spring when we do our annual garage cleaning. I bought mine years and years ago to do a poppy display when I did a Wizard of Oz theme thing, but I haven't used them since. Congratulations on your big win over at Debbie's!!!!!! Have a great weekend!!!
