"If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give." ~ George MacDonald
Welcome my lovely friends to my Tea of Hearts~
February is heart month and so today in celebration of Valentine's Day, we are sharing our hearts, pinks, and reds. If you don't have any hearts, pinks, or reds, then simply share what you love.
"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love." ~ Henry Drummond
I had a plan for today's post which didn't work out and I had to get my post ready early because of the blizzards which engulfed the Island over the weekend. I couldn't take a chance on any power outages. So, I hope you will enjoy this tea today as it comes to you with a lot of love.
"Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, Make every day a holiday and celebrate just living." ~ Amanda Bradley
Most everything you will see here today was given to me as a gift. The lace table cloth, the lovely lace edged topper, the teacup trios, as well as the little angel. All are gifts given to me by dear friends and of course my hubby.
My sweetie brought me roses and tulips before the storms hit. He's the best!
This darling little angel who is smelling her posies was an early Valentine gift from my hubby. You can't tell from the picture, but her wings sparkle. The sweet bouquet she holds in her hands as well as the posies in the basket at her feet, all sparkle.
She is called White Heather, "Wishes can come True," is written on the bottom.
I am using my Valentine teacup today; a wee bit of pink and red together in the form of pretty hearts sprinkled about both the cup and saucer.
As well as the two teacup trios which were a birthday present from a dear friend. The pattern is called Rose of England, made in China. Each piece is trimmed in gold and adorned with scrumptious light pink and dark pink full blown roses.
Heart-shaped sugar cookies drizzled with sugar pink icing.
Egg salad sandwiches cut into heart shapes, on my Amour heart plate.
Fresh strawberries, shortbread cookies, and of course, chocolate!

With love from me to you!
February is also the month of the amethyst and the violet, so next week, let's share our tea things adorned with lavender, pansies, violets, etc. I know many of you love this colour.
Happy Valentines Day, my lovely friends!
