dining in

This is an 'Anthurium'

plant that I purchased at this

fabulous little place. I think most

would call it a "hole in the wall"

a secret around this part of

Northern California.

It sits here on my dining room table

waiting for the perfect pot to be planted

in. One of the things that I promised myself

after we recently moved was that I would be

patient about making any purchases and not feel

rushed about decorating this house. We purged

ourselves of the things that had no real value

to us. I had the biggest load to get rid of. (call

me a pack rat...or rather a pack elephant)

This house feels sparse right now, but I

feel good about this decision. So, my

eyes are wide open for a vessel.

We will be dining here for Valentines Day

and plan to share it with new friends. I imagine

there will be candle light, crystal and sparkling cider.

A few stories shared here and there with a lot of laughter.
With funds being a little tight, creativity is in order

and making that day special by sharing it with

friends makes my heart very happy.

What are you planning to do?
