Welcome, everyone!

So happy to have you here! 

We have lots of Valentine inspiration at the party tonight and the features are fabulous!!

You are going to want to pin everything that's featured for sure!  Lots of beautiful food and beautiful things to make. I want to make everything, of course. There's was a time when I would rather make something than buy it.

I still want to make stuff but sometimes it costs more to make something than buy it. Here's an example of that: some years ago my sister and I were at a really cute little shop that had some really interesting things. This was before Mason jars were a "thing". In the quart size mason jar was a Christmas window candle (electric) and it had homespun fabric as a bow around the lip. It also had dried cranberries around the candle. My sister and I high-fived each other - we were going to MAKE them, not buy them. We were so clever - or so we thought. They might have been $20 each. (If we had each bought one it would have been $40 for both - keep that figure in mind). 

We never made ONE of anything. We had to make one for everyone in the family. We bought 20 or so (can't remember the exact number) large Mason jars. Because they were electrified we had to have a hole for the electric cord to go through. That cost $3 for each jar at the glass place. He broke a couple. The homespun wasn't too much $10 and the candles were $1 each. The dried cranberries weren't cheap either. I can't remember exact numbers here. A small bag might have been $9 or so. But we had 20 Mason jars to fill. Altogether, we spent over $300. We didn't even have enough people to give them to. I still had about 6 unfinished ones in a bag in a closet upstairs which I finally gave to Goodwill a few years ago. SO the moral of this story? If it's handmade and unique just BUY IT. It will be cheaper. Lol. THE END

Here are the amazing features. Just look at the opening Fondue Cheese Board by Bird's Party. Hop over and see all her other fun stuff and other  food boards, each is awesome. The banana pudding by Across the Blvd looks SO delicious, don't you agree? Of course, the Valentine season has started so we have a cute heart decor by Kippia at Home.
