It’s Friday and time for some flowers.

We entertained last weekend and a friend brought me this most wonderful bunch of cut hyacinths. I’ve been watching them open and develop their lovely scent, all week. Now they sit in my studio; I have the door shut and it’s warm in here and they smell heavenly!

And now, because it’s almost Valentines Day, here’s a spot of red and pink!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

VALENTINES DAY

I dropped HUGE hints that these were available to buy!

We will see.

In any case, here is what I’m making for dinner tonight:

French Pan-Fried Trout!

Take a look at Chez Bonne Femme and while you’re there do browse and see all that Wini Moranville has to offer both on the blog and her cookbook:

And then for dessert:

We will have these yummies, served on a “Libby Wilkie” original-designed plate!

Just a few more weeks to go until

Valentines Day.

I was looking around Etsy (and a few other places), knowing I would find some wonderful things, and sure enough, they did not disappoint me. I went looking for “seasonal items”: things that were not necessarily red (or pink), that didn’t necessarily have hearts anywhere on them, and items that could/would be used for a while. There were certainly lots of hearts; lots of vintage paper valentines; and oh so much red and pink.
