Something Simple

Happy Superbowl Sunday, everyone ("Let's Go, Giants!")!  Being married to the biggest NY Giants fan *evah,* our kitchen is a mess right about now, as I prepare goodies for tonight's festivities!  So, I thought I'd step away from it for a moment and share our great room buffet that has a few splashes of red added for Valentine's Day.


I started by adding a red shawl of mine as a runner.  I then filled a glass hurricane with red and clear beads and added a candle.  Of course, I then simply *had* to add shed antlers because they are *ohso* romantic, right?  LOL


And, who says you can't mix pinecones, seashells, orbs and "faux" rose petals together?


I loved the little glittery chapels that I found at Wal-Mart for Christmas so much that I just *had* to incorporate one into our little Valentine theme:


Doesn't it just look so cute, romantic (and, okay, goofy) nestled on more rose petals ... go ahead and sing it with me now "going to the Chapel, and we're gonna get mar-air-air-reed!"  (and, yes, that song will now be in your head all day long ... you're welcome!)


Lastly, I brought back my cream fleur-de-lis vase and added a few *Springy* florals to it.


One last shot:


Okay ... back in the kitchen I go to finish up chicken chili, yummy sausage dip, pigs in a blanket, and more calorie *infested* Superbowl treats (afterall, folks, they say that today is second only to Thanksgiving as far as most calories consumed)!  Please pass the TUMS ... and, again, "Let's Go, Giants!"

Thanks for stopping by!

  7. Oh I have a ton of calorie stuff organized here for the game. I have lost 3 lbs on my diet and I am sure I will gain 20 lbs today. Not a good thing. Enjoy the game. Hugs, Marty

  12. Yes! Let's go Giants! : ) My hubby is actually at the Superbowl, Becca. I will be watching with my daughter, son-in-law and the baby. I love that chapel under the cloche. That is such a perfect piece to have under there.

  14. Fun Valentine decor! Sadly the Giants ended my beloved Packers amazing season.....so, in spite of this, my family will be rooting for the Giants to win. They need to take it all the way to the Lombardi trophy! Have fun with your crew!

  18. Love the little chapels under the cloches! Glad you could sneak away a bit from Super Bowl festivities! We are Giants fans and homemade pizzas and wings are on the menu! I heard antacids are the number one seller the day after the Super Bowl!!

  22. I got a white mini church and I just love it so I don't think it's silly. It's hard to put the favorites away ;) As always, a perfect little vignette! Happy Valentine's Becca.

  24. Your buffet looks amazing!

    Oh how I wish I could have stopped by and had a piggie in a blanket!
    One of my most favorite things evaa as you say!

    My family absolutely hates cabbage and or saurkraut and cannot stand the smell in the house so I make stuffed peppers instead since my children have been old enough to complain!!!

    Hard to make something like that for just one person and though I have tried Stouffer's frozen version..... they are not the same!!!

    Sorry.... you got me started on a lil' tangent there, Becca!

    Your spread sounded amazing.
    :)

  25. I love your Valentine's touches - so clever to use a red throw as your runner, and the flowers are so springy (daisies are my favorite). I'd love it if you'd link up at my Show & Tell party, going on now @ the Delectable Home. Yea, Giants!
