RECIPE FOR FRIENDSHIP | Monday Morning Blooms
Welcome to this first MONDAY MORNING BLOOMS in February!
Today I'll be sharing one of my very favorite parties of the year.
And the flowers that make it special, of course!
If you came here via my friends Pam, Mary, Shirley or Yvonne -

so we can stay in touch.
Valentine's Day really is the perfect time to show your girlfriends some love
and celebrate these vital relationships that mean so much to our well-being.
Set the stage for your special friends with a charmingly feminine Valentine’s Day Dessert Party.
A round table is placed in front of our French windows looking out on the garden
on a winter's afternoon and laden with small desserts, a steaming pot of tea, and a celebratory drink.
The romantic pink roses and small carnations are
lovingly placed in a vintage silver plated pitcher.
This is the easiest of all arrangements, just cut flowers to size, and arrange!
I kept the flowers all in the same color family.
It's the perfect setting for good friends,
and this setting has all the makings for a perfect afternoon.
I set this table with a large French patchwork cloth
covered in squares of striped and flowered Provencial designs.
A beautiful box of MaeMae's Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect gift for all my friends.
The table is adorned with stylish vintage gold encrusted plates and glassware
to balance the delicate palette of deep pinks and lighter pinks.
Indulge sugar cravings {it's a party, after all!}
with a sweet selection of desserts.
I bought all of these, including petite cupcakes,
a chocolate mouse cake in the shape of a heart,
and delicate pastel hued macarons.
This romantic floral arrangement
looks just as lovely on our antique French commode
on the tea tray on the other side of the room.
Celebrating friendship is one of my favorite reasons to throw a party!
Happy Valentine’s Day
Here’s hoping you can reserve a little slice of time
to let your girlfriends know how much they mean to you!
