valentines tablescape and marshmallow pops
we are having so much fun with valentines this year!
i set the table for our recent Bible study group and served a yummy meal.
Pioneer Woman’s Chicken Parmigiana with linguine and for
dessert Life by Chocolate Cupcakes (hersey kiss version).
Unbelievably delicious!
the cupcakes were served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in these cute little heart shaped
bowls. i found them for .99 each at michael’s! 🙂
the plain white china with silver rim is our wedding china. the blue floral china i picked up
at goodwill. i love to mix and match dishes.
i also really like to mix fancy and casual. paper napkins with china. casual cotton table
runners with glass goblets etc. 🙂
my glass hurricanes are filled with traditional candy hearts.
my white candles are sitting on a can of soup so i didn’t have to use so many hearts 🙂
today the kids and i made marshmallow pops!!
we melted pink candy melts in the microwave and dipped our pink marshmallows in
of course there were lots and lots of sprinkles!
we packaged them up and gave some to an elderly neighbor, some to cousins, and others to babysitters 🙂

so as you can see above we made valentine cookies..they’re pink!
