Celebration Inspiration

Happy Valentines Day! I couldn't resist posting these festive tabletop ideas from Vogue.com.  For us, this day has really become very "kid-centric."  All three of my children were packed off to school with bags of heart candy, chocolates and temporary tattoos to pass around. But, after seeing these pretty place settings, I'm tempted to maybe make a bit more of an effort today. A few little pretty vases on the table, maybe some champagne and strawberries, nothing too fancy. Or, maybe just some mint chip ice cream and a Nora Ephron rom-com? This all sounds pretty good right now and very well might make it's way into our celebration...how do you spend Valentine's Day? Is it a big deal with you or just an excuse for chocolate and candy (which is really what's happening around here!)
