Nothing is more disastrous than a valentine's day falling on Monday. While you were thinking of a romantic breakfast in bed,your boss was thinking of getting you to office early. So instead of making heart shaped toasts and eggs I spent my Valentines day morning in office. ..sigh....But... I somehow managed to wrap up my work by afternoon and rushed home.
Inspired by the success of our anniversary dinner at home,I now conduct every celebration here at our apartment..so the breakfast in bed changed its form and became dinner on table...:) I haven't heard anyone eating toasts for dinner, but who cares, it's my life and I make the rules. I hardly had 3 hours, not much time to decor the place,but what is valentines day without a little decoration...a little red color.. In fact what is any celebration without some decor .(Nowadays I have this tendency to make everything mushy mushy).
A few balloons, tissue paper pompom balls, heart shaped rose wreath etc did the trick. Of course as always I managed to screw up things, after blowing up the balloons, I realized that Its air inside those golden beauties not hydrogen, yeah I completely forgot about the hydrogen tanks, so instead of floating balloons I made a balloon Garland.(So don't forget to add hydrogen tank in your shopping list along with balloons). It wasn't as beautiful as I planned.. :( And the rest you can imagine. We had toast, eggs, bananas, coffee, chocolates, brownies and some wine.. weird menu, huh???. But I can assure you it wasn't a disaster at all..
Here is some pictures to explain the whole story of decorations.
Chocolate dipped fruits and Brownies
Tissue paper Pom-poms. I did it my own way, But they explained it well in Martha stewards.
Heart shaped Roses Wreath.
Wired Crystals for champagne stem
Heart Shaped Napkins, though they are actually origami book marks, I couldn't resist the idea of using it for napkins.
