Life at Rancho La Zaca was so hectic around the holidays that I never got around to posting about our New Year’s Eve party,* but when I was doing up the table–with friend Nina Griscom and sister Duvall’s help–I kept thinking it would be pretty that way for Valentine’s Day, too.
We’re not having quite as many people here for Valentine’s as we did for New Year’s, but I’m sticking with red roses to work around. Not original, but neither are champagne and caviar, and when’s the last time you turned up your nose at that? Everything doesn’t always have to be the Moulin Rouge, if you know what I mean.
If you’re looking for ideas, see what you might have in your holiday decorations that could travel a season or two. Couldn’t Christmas’ bird ornaments migrate to be Valentine’s love birds?
I wish for you happy decorating; but most of all, for happy hearts.
*There was a little write-up of the whole New Year’s weekend house party at RLZ written by Nina in the New York Social Diary, which you can read here.
What a lovely event! All of your party tables are gorgeous – a future book, perhaps?
Thank you, Lori! We’ll see about that entertaining book. The next book is Just Bee, about Bee Cottage! Stay tuned…
Elegant and fun.
Love your blog and facebook post
Thank you Tutti. Welcome to our gang!
So beautiful! I can’t wait for Just Bee! By the way, I am addicted to The Perfectly Imperfect House, reading it over and over. Thanks for recommending it!
Thank you, Susan, and yay!
