Red + Blue Valentine’s Day Brunch

Hi… our family celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday with a simple brunch. It was so much fun, maybe we'll do it again tonight for dinner!

A panini grill is great for making french toast too.

This thrift store china mixed with some old Williams-Sonoma dishes (the checkerboard with hearts) make a good red and blue background.

 We ate our way through an entire loaf of bread hearts.

And used a mug from our regular dishes for syrup. You can never have too much syrup.

Happiest of Valentine's Days to Everyone!

Linking Up.
