Any holiday that devotes a day all to love is all good in my book...and this year I wanted to do a little something extra special for my kids, so I set up a mini Valentine's party just for them! Here are a few pictures from our little party...
And I tried to add loving touches to the table setting to show my little ones how very special I think they are...
I even brought out the family heirloom punch bowl. And here's an easy tip, if you want to make regular punch extra pretty, try floating a few lavender sprigs in the punch bowl...fresh ones work great, but you can also use dried lavender sprigs from your garden {not the store as they may have been treated}, just cut the stems off first...
Have a wonderful week!

Oh Tracey,
what a wonderful little treat for your sweethearts!! I love the punches of color against the gray and white furniture!
You are a very special Mom!
Have a lovely day.
Sincerely,
Melinda
So cute! I bet they were very excited to see that set up :)
What a fun treat for them! I'm sure they loved it.
My son is still a little bit young to understand the concept of the day, but I gave him a tiny little bear. He walked around all night holding it in his arms like a baby, patting it's head. Then, at bedtime, he wanted me to give him a blankie too. I had to use a tiny washcloth. It was so cute.
Kids are awesome!
Just Beautiful...You have a flair for decorating...love the grays and muted colors. Your family is very lucky...Have a blessed week. Tiff

Tracey...One day you will visit your kids as adults and see {your} little magic touches appear in their lives. My daughter hosted a lovely family Valentine Brunch on Sunday and my son sent me a picture text of the vignette he set up for is sweet girlfriend! They both said they were inspired by childhood memories and my blog friends. I was blown away!
The beauty you are sharing with us will live on for generations! Thank you!

Wow beautiful photographs. You must have the most well behaved cleanest kids ever. My kids would have been like what the heck?? I made them Fontina Marscapone Baked Penne and Brownie Pudding for dessert and thought I was doing pretty good! We ate at the counter but at least on glass plates! You may have just lost me.
Again, I applaud you! for making me want to weep! You capture such heartening images!
my best,
Lisa

Cute Tracey! I love how you made their day special! I had to explain to my kids that you don't get new toys like at Christmas.. we made cookies instead :)
Oh Tracey, this is so over the top gorgeous that it needs to be featured in a magazine! But then again ALL of your posts belong there too. And I can only imagine how special your little sweeties must feel having you as their Mom create such stunning surroundings. xoxo ~Lili

Those children are very lucky! Love the napkins. Robx
This valentine set up is TO DIE FOR !
I go back and forth, debating with myself if i should decorate our next home in vintage or not( we are in an apartment right now for a while)....
It just seems like my children ruin and break so many of my precious treasures and favorite cintage furniture pieces...
but your pictures remind me just how much I LOVE VINTAGE decor!
thank you ~ shell
