dinner + Valentine's Day

It may be Valentine's day, but it's still a school night, so we are making a dinner that everyone loves and ending the meal with creme brulee and a few little presents. 
More chalk board paint and my new tablecloth purchased from Uber Chic Home last month at the Long Beach Flea Market.
 
Madeline's gift is a book that I saw here.  I was so taken with this book that I ordered it right away and I just knew it was perfect for Madeline.  Hope you had a great evening.

    So beautiful Annie, we didn't do anything but I think next year I'll ruthlessly copy this, it's so lovely to make a little effort and you must have raised everyone's spirits.

    Thanks for the link, I love that site, her work is wonderful, it reminds me of vintage Vogue magazine art from the 20s and 30s.
