Enough Hearts to Last All Year

The above post was not to say that we eschew celebrating St. Valentine's Day, such as it is.
The weekend before the Big Day, the girls drew heart people to pass out to local friends and cousins.

They're simple but cute.

 

At the last minute, I turned the afternoon tea we planned to have into a Fancy Lunch instead, which didn't require any work other than tossing rumpled linens on the table, making a quick batch of pink lemonade, tinting pears pink, turning pb+j into hearts, and heaping bowls and plates with the candy and pastries we'd been given that week (thank you, Grandmas!).    Oh, yes.  And scattering rose petals from Basil, John, and Gregory, of course.

Plus, Annika made a heart on the table.  Voila.
