Drown of Business Plans on my TS Day...

Absolutely, I am...

How I wish I am a stay-home-mum, so I could do the things I love that I didn't cope when am busy. Having a responsibility in the financial world, isn't easy either. Well, I just keep my mouth, work & have fun, then keep on going. So, if I am like a turtle, "on & off"? You know the reason.

I had a dinner few nights ago with my cousin and her hubby at home. This time was just the closest family i.e. "my family, her & here hubby". We comforted him because his mother just passed away. Anyways, we had a great time mesmerizing our old life & the life we have here. Comparing is the best word, I can find.

HERE'S SOME SHOTS...
I choose Spring colour to make my guest happy...
Dinner / pasta plate is Vilroy&Bosch while bowl is local
Just a simply vintagy things on the table, from fondue to flatwares
The welcome snack bar
Ladies welcome drink, Hot cranberry w/ citrus (non-alcoholic)
Me & my cousin don't drink a drop of alcohol §;-) cheap one's
Mojito for the gents, thanks?
Lovelies of my life
HAPPY VALENTINES MY BEAUTIFUL BLOGGIE FRIENDS...

Yes, we had a great evening. I prepared a very simple dinner consist of "pasta la Richié with hallomi cheese mix with fresh veges, "marinated tenderloin for the fondue chips or rice as main course & my Valentine Lemon & Raspberry Cake, loving the consistence that reminded us of a fresh Spring Day.

You maybe notice too that I had a very Spring mood decorating. Does it looks I am longing for it now? Although, winter is beautiful but nothing beat the warm of the sun, right? Just look around, butterflies, pink, fuschia, red, white, green...ahhhh...lala LOVELY...

ENJOY THE GREAT MID-WEEK & WEEK-END AHEAD.
GOD BLESS...

Oh yeah! always visit Susan at BNOP who is hosting this funtime meme...

    Jättefin tårta, du är duktig i köket. Här har det börjat snöa nu, dom har varnat för busväder. Är på väg åt ditt håll.

    I am also wishing for Spring, and your pretty table does make me think of Spring. Those floral napkins are so lovely, and I like the way you put them into the glasses. The snack table looks so pretty, and I love that red pitcher with hearts on it. laurie

    It is indeed tempting to embrace the colors of spring right now....hoping to make the winter blahs disappear more quickly. I can only imagine the depth of winter in Sweden. Here, it was -7 deggrees this morning, and it's supposed to be in the 70's by this weekend. Always changing! Your tablescape is beautiful...romantic....and your heart shape cake is gorgeous! Looks so good. I know that you had a wonderful evening. Thank you for sharing your charming design and for stopping by my post. Cherry Kay

Having a BALL in our Outdoor cozy lounge...

AT LAST!!! Isn't it an easy life when our weather is not that HOT or too COLD ? ***  Det är så underbart liv när vädret tillåter. Absolut man får njuta det ljuva livet i solen. This is the time when I move our lounge outdoor and just loving to pamper it with my simple way and a dash of a chic style (at least) I feel it. *** En härlig dag sån här årstid. Jag flyttade vardagsrummet i uteverandan och den älskar jag. En enkel stil med en liten chic-touch! Here is my new outdoor LOUNGE!!!   Me & GH went for a morning walk (as always)   Preparing for a cozy outdoor lounge... I move the buffé table and gathered my treasures...  I gathered all my pensies in my galvanized tray... Cotton cookie holder from Malta with a St. John's cross My wrought cloche which I wanted to rust but still long way to go...  Mini grill? GH asked! Guess NOT! Don't you like it?   This corner will be a drink corner and ready to serve us... GH cho

Inherited--- A Vintage and Delicate Treasure

A sofisticated to my eyes... When I was young, I know what we had on top of my family's table. I don't really care what kind of treasures we had? I just remember that my grandfather had a very fine china set and unfortunately ended to a wrong greedy grandchildren, my first cousin's wife. Mum inhereted some of the set and as I recall she adored them till her last breath. If I am still living in The Philippines, I would love to keep them by myself. Hopefully, dear sis will adore as Mum does. Then, my new life started when I marry GH and move to Stockholm, Sweden 25 yrs ago. I know my love of kitchen/tables gadgets, i.e. household utensils, deep in my heart. It was already forseen by many of our friends--- my pedantic way and the love of a house to make it a home. I thank you Mum for that. It is true the saying " what we had experienced from our childhood, is what we get when we have our own" ? Well, when GH mother passed away 2 decades ago, GH inherite
