I hosted my annual Valentine Luncheon last week. I conceived this party over ten years ago as a way to celebrate and honor the wonderful friends that I have (and because girls appreciate all the beautiful trappings of Valentine's Day slightly more than my wonderful husband!).
The invitation. My quote this year was "Flowers are lovely; love is flower-like; friendship is a sheltering tree." ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The flowers are beautiful! Did you arrange them yourself?
What a great tradition! As always, your home looks lovely.
I love your Valentine Luncheon! When I saw you'd posted, I said, "Oh goody!" It is lovely this year, as always.
Thanks for sharing.
So cute! Lovely flowers - who arranged them?!
Love it every year!! Anxiously awaiting the menu!!!
I have been looking forward to your recap! The tables and especially the flowers were just stunning...where did you get them, if you don't mind my asking! Can't wait to see the menu!
Thanks!!
