A valentine brunch

with V-day being a Monday and with weekdays being the days in which I get home from work to David handing me the small child and running out of the door still open from my return we decided to have a little pre-valentine brunch on Sunday morning

heart-shaped Cranberry and Orange Muffins, speared with Cupid's Arrow toppers (inspired by these treat bags from Creature Comforts)

heart shaped cupcake liners and heart shaped paper napkins, chalkboard hearts and playing card placesettings, wooden spoons with 'bon appetit' label from Eat, Drink, Chic

homemade muesli, strawberry jam & freshly brewed coffee = perfect

and the little man didn't miss out on any of the love love action:

instead of candy necklaces and sugar fuelled treats, I threaded some craisins onto a length of sewing elastic and made him a baby friendly candy bracelet:

And if you're lucky enough not to have to be in work tomorrow morning, I would definitely suggest you forgo the dinner reservations/ high pressure homecooked meal scenario and make eyes over the breakfast table instead

Blue Skies,
Charlotte xo
