Last minute Valentine's Ideas For You! (TFT Party!)

February~Tickled Pink!
Good Morning and Happy February! February 1st was also my 3rd Anniversary co-hosting Katherine's wonderful, Thursday Favorite Things, and I am so grateful! Well, friends just like that, we are into a brand new month with incredible possibilities! And, Praise the Lord, we have been getting rain, finally! You all have been bringing your best and beautiful creations to inspire us all! Thank you for continuing to do that!
Look at this sweet DIY Valentine’s Wreath with Hand-Painted Sign from Kippi at Home. That sure would be welcoming to a friend or family member or just make you smile.

Inspiring Women!
Good morning, friends, and happy last week of January. Can you believe that? One month has already gone by of the new year. We are having a wonderful rainstorm here in Northern California! And I do mean wonderful! No doubt you’ve heard of the fires we’ve had the last several years, and this is a very welcome sight for most Californians, myself included. I am a true lover of fall and winter, with all their cool days, changing leaves, and the beautiful sound of rain and thunder. So it’s especially exciting for me.

A New Day & This Week's TFT Party
Well, it is definitely a new day, a new era, even possibly. Regardless of where you stand, one chapter has ended and a new one has just begun and suddenly numerous quotes are popping into my view and speaking to my heart. So, I am CHOOSING to embrace them. It is definitely a choice that one must decide to make.
"KINDNESS IS RADICAL. Where there is kindness
there is goodness. It is brave and daring, fearless and courageous." On this day, after inauguration day, I thought this would be a good reminder today. (The last line is from my sister.)

Finding Some Peace & Inspiration When It's Not Easy
Good morning, friends. I would love to be all light and fuzzy this morning, but alas, I cannot. Our country is going through so much divisiveness and so many struggles, not just with COVID and the pandemic rules, but with friends and family members with lost jobs, economic struggles for those that, thankfully, prior to this, have not had to experience a grocery line or wait and pray that they can get a food box. Then, there's what's going on in Washington... And, even though, I will not and do not want anyone to get political, here, it is a sad week... month... for American democracy. My prayers go out to all those living in fear when they go to work. I'm praying for our leaders and those in power to make good choices for the greater good of all Americans, And, while, possibly, we might disagree on what that may be, I think we can all agree on peace and kindness. That being said and acknowledged at this specific time in history, I will get on with the party and thank you all for being here and we will put out our positivity, by enabling others to make their corners of the world a little more beautiful, a little more tasty, and possibly even a little more enriched.
So, if you are cold and down and maybe a little overwhelmed pop over to Comfort Spring Station and print out one of Carol's adorable Valentine Gnomes! Carol shared her post"Top Posts of 2020" but I, honestly, could not see past this sweetheart.

A Little Potpourri for the New Year (TFT Party)
Welcome to the first real party of 2021! Good morning friends I hope this finds you well and full of more wonderful inspiration to share again this week. I have to say I already miss the Holidays. I think that's a thing, isn't it? The let down after all the wonderfulness(sp.) Either way, we carry on anyway, grateful that we can. I'm so grateful for all of you, sharing here each week with such beauty and talent. Thank you for continuing to join us. Thank you too, Katherine, for bringing me on to co-hostess this beautiful celebration of gifted bloggers. Have a wonderful week, everyone, and, I hope you enjoy these few features from last week's party as much as I did!
Rachelle from My Hubbard Home shared her refreshing New-Year’s Day Brunch Tablescape. Isn't it beautiful?! Be sure to check out all her images this is truly just a small sampling!

Happy New Year from Me and the TFT!
Happy New Year dear friends! I do pray you all enjoyed a beautiful, safe Christmas and were able to find Joy in the Reason for the Season. I had a wonderful, albeit very quiet, Christmas and it was just what the doctor ordered for me. Baking is done. Gifts dropped off. Well wishes all around, and now to celebrate the coming of 2021! Geez, I am old enough to tell you that this year still looks futuristic to me. Every.Single.Time.I.See.IT!
One of my favorite songs, way back when, if you can believe it, was "Tonight We're Gonna Party Like it's 1999!" As if we'd ever make it to 1999! LOL Ahh, the blissful ignorance of youth.

The Christmas Countdown Is On!
Two weeks until Christmas! Yes, already! I am excited, although admittedly I really LOVE all the time leading up I think just as much. I have been baking away and decorating both, here and at my Mum's house. Such a wonderful way to divert our attention! I always say this, but it's as true today as ever, It truly is The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year! In case you missed it, I shared a super yummy recipe yesterday that I know you all will enjoy so be sure to check out my Almond Florentines...Laceys...Brussels Cookies (Whatever the Name...They Are Divine, and Easier Thank You'd Think) If you have not linked up your Everything Christmas or joined us at our Christmas Eats party, please take a minute and link up!
Now, I am excited and honored to be joining Katherine and all the other wonderful co-hostesses in bringing you all this week's Thursday Favorite Things party (aka TFT)!

Happy December, The Countdown (officially) Begins!
Good morning and welcome back to the TFT Party! I'm so glad you are here. I pray you all had a safe and healthy Thanksgiving! I pray that you all stay healthy as the COVID numbers are surging. God save us all from such an illness. I'm so glad to see that, like me and my family, you are all pressing on and doing the decorating and the baking and creating. This, I believe is what will get us all through to the other side of this thing. Truly, I pray blessings over you all.
Alright, catching up a bit here, last week there was no TFT party, due to Thanksgiving, so I am sharing a few of your features from our November 19th party!

Prepping for Thanksgiving at the TFT Party!
Good morning, friends! Can you believe Thanksgiving is almost here?! This month has just flown by for me. Thank you all for the kind wishes on my poor knee. It is recovering, albeit slower than I would like...grateful for no surgery, but hate the brace. Oh well, this too shall pass. I am loving all the beautiful inspiration you all provide each week. You truly do AMAZE me. That said, let's get to some Features!
