Happy Valentines Day! (and GIVEAWAY)



{love}
Happy Valentine's Day! The restaurants will be crowded, so our family will be cooking a heartfelt, homemade dinner for five, and finding a good excuse to use...

 My late grandmother Honey's romantic red transferware dishes. I don't think they are technically "china", but we call them "Great Grandma Honey's Fine China." We have a full set that comes out for special occasions. We are missing Honey this year, she passed away last October at 100. (And she actually visited China! Honey had a love for travel!)

Her vibrant red dishes will make any meal full of love.

The winner also gets a tempting box of chocolates? How can you resist that!

What are you doing this Valentine's Day?

  3. The husband is out of town so I'm spending the evening with a hairy four-legged guy...;) We're going out tomorrow night to celebrate. I have the same color of transferware dishes as you and they came from my husbands Grandmother. Enjoy your evening and a Happy Valentine's Day to your whole family!
