I toad you it’s time for us to have a Valentine’s Party!
I’m serving a box lunch for my friends – just to let them know that I “heart” them.
So, come on in and get a boxed lunch, my friend.
Be sure to get your napkins. the larger, red one is to put in your lap, so your boxed lunch won’t get your clothes messed up. The smaller white one is to dab your mouth and fingers.
Don’t forget to get something to drink.
You can come back later for an “after lunch” mint.
Let’s get this par-tay started by going to visit the links shown below. This is my fourth year to host this Valentine party, and I can promise you, you don’t want to miss seeing any of these links. I am also partying with A Stroll Thru Life for the Valentine Cloche Party and Décor to Adore for a Valentine Party. I’m so glad you attended the par-tay! laurie
I knew this would be so cute, Laurie and it is.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Great idea to make apple and cheese hearts! I am swiping that idea for my hubby's lunch ;o) I've been waiting all year for this par-tay! Thanks for being our queen of hearts Laurie! xo
ReplyDeletethank you for hosting Laurie. I am tickled to be here. What a treat you have for us and I love the cheese and apples. xoxo Lynn P.S. I thought your Super Bowl table scape was fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Laurie I look forward to this party every year!
ReplyDeleteThey say that love lives in the details and WOW~ your attention to detail is spectacular. Even the ice cubes are heart shaped.
Well done my friend. Thank you also for the kind mention.
What fun Laurie! This is my first time to join your annual party. Thank you for hosting!! xo

Laurie, I look forward to this party each year. Thanks for hosting. The boxed lunches are a sweet idea. I'm having friends for dinner Wednesday evening and just might copy cat you. Haven't decided what I want to do yet. Just got back from a trip to Nashville and running behind on everything. Will visit the links tomorrow......Happy Heart Day, my friend! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh, Laurie! How I would love to be at your party! Every little detail screams "Fun, fun, fun"! I adore your red tablecloth and napkins and your food presentation is well, so Valentiny (is that a word???). Love all of those darling valentine cards - home run for you!
ReplyDeleteYou are totally amazing. I love your tablescape and the idea of a boxed lunch, so cute. You even have heart shaped ice cubes. Unreal. On top of all that you know I love your cloche with all the vintage valentines, so pretty. Thanks tons for hosting your party and for joining TTT. Hugs, marty

Lauie, nobody...and I mean NOBODY...does Valentines Day bigger or better than you! such fun ideas & vintage memorabilia...I love it all! Those ice cubes were brilliant & the thought of getting one's own little boxed lunch is enticing. Someday, I'm going to *benchmark* that idea (that means COPY) LOL
ReplyDeleteWarm & grateful hugs for being allowed to come to your party,
Rett

Thanks for hosting the party, Laurie! This is a fun way to see some Valentine posts I haven't seen otherwise, and it's a great resource for people hunting ideas for the big day! Your box lunch party is super cute! Those heart-shaped ice cubes are really rockin'! What a great idea!!! I really like the pretty lacy napkins, too. I'll be at the party as long as I don't have to kiss a toad! Already did that and found my Prince 22 years ago! :-) :-) :-) Have a Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great party! I've enjoyed visiting a number of your participants. Totally delightful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting, Laurie! It has been fun checking out all the different blogs...
ReplyDeleteOnce again, another amazing display of Valentine Love!!! Lots to see and admire here. Glad I could link up my posts to ya. hugs, Sue

Laurie, I am so behind after taking a break this weekend from blog visiting that I almost missed yours. That would have been a shame. Ladies luncheons are a favorite of mine and I don't believe I've ever gone to a Boxed Lunch, certainly never to one as pretty as this. Am I too late to get a box? Chicken salad is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOh Laurie, I would have loved to join this party but I didn't know. :( I am such a bargain hunter. Is it every Monday or Tuesday? I always do Marty's party but I don't have but one cloche..so skipped it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED EVERYTHING you pictured! I could have laid down and rolled over your post! :):) I will try and catch you next time..
Wonderful!
Mona
I heart it all Laurie! You go all out!!! What a great box lunch. Thanks for being such a great hostess!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, dear, you are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo creative and beautiful!!!
I did not have a chance to participate this year, but I would love to next time...
How fun it will be to visit everyone and be inspired!
You always inspire me...
Happy Valentine's Day beautiful Laurie!!!!
xoxoxoxo,

and we heart you too, Laurie!
ReplyDeleteLove this post, your vintage Valentines always bring a smile to my face and your table is stunning, you're friends were very lucky to receive their invites!!
Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful party, Laurie.
ReplyDeleteMy sister's 8 year old gson passed away yesterday, so I will be out of the loop for mourning.
Please keep his family in your prayers, we know he is with God.
Oh Laurie, you throw the BEST Valentine party! How fun! Your party is set beautifully and what cute boxed lunchs for all of us! I am so glad I was able to make it over for this lovely get together! Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteOK - I am skidding in late! But I am here. :-D
ReplyDeleteLaurie, dear, I am LATE!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, but I only checked my comments this morning....shoot...
Aren't those cards adorable??
They are made by my dear friend Anita Rivera...her blog is "Castles Crowns and Cottages"....
Thank you, beautiful Laurie, for visiting me, and I hope your Valentine's Day was splendid!!!
