Home and Gardening With Liz: Veuve Cliequot Brut Champagne

Paris for Valentines Day!

Doesn't the idea of being in Paris sound so romantic for Valentine's Day?

Indulge yourself with me and lets pretend we're there!

Entrer Cafe Chez Liz

First you will notice la pâte exquise!

La tour Eiffel dressed with a bed of roses

Snow flakes et amour

Le champagne Veuve Cliequot Brut

Time for le dîner

Evening has arrivé ...

La Tour Eiffel is lighted

Dining for deux!

Wishing you a loving Valentine's Day

Je te aime

Notes: I used a battery operated puck light placed in the top of a

glass candle votive for the light (I covered the top with a circle of wax paper because it was a bit bright).

I dressed the Eiffel Tower with vines of ivy (which is actually a jewelry tree).

Satin hearts from Michael's with satin ribbon tacked on.

I used a translator from Google- hopefully I didn't make any big mistakes!

Romance Is In The Air

This morning I set up my game table in the living room for an evening of elegant romantic dining

I created the tablecloth from some yard goods I picked up.

I centered the roses even though they will have to be removed for dining. While I created this I was thinking about one of those high end restaurants that offer private settings for dining.

I chose these floral dessert dishes for a bread plate. There is a small hummingbird on them too. I layered them on the gold and red banded dishes that I use for the holidays.

I stacked two chargers together, one gold on the very bottom, the other is a dark espresso wood to help create more definition between the plates and the tablecloth.
