downton abbey valentine








 My parents LOVE the PBS series, Downton Abbey.  It is the highlight of their week!  So for Valentine's Day when trying to think of something special to give them I decided to make them a Downton Abbey, tea themed gift basket.  I made some heart shaped strawberry scones and shortbread cookies.  In the cookies I stamped the names of all of the couples, since most of the drama revolves around their relationships.  In the basket I also tucked in some strawberry jam, English tea and and some English roses. We are going to deliver it to them this afternoon.   


 I just got a delivery of the most beautiful tulips from my sweet husband!  Even after nine years of marriage it's still fun and exciting to receive flowers on Valentine's day!  I am going to spend the rest of the day with people I love and I hope that you get to do the same.  Happy Valentine's Day dear readers.

  3. This is such a cool idea Nina!

    Just chanced upon your blog and looks like we're two peas in a pod. I share your 'present/gifting' philosophy though I'm better with non-edible presents:-)

    My blog is I Love Gifting (http://ilovegifting.me)and I write about the gift of love and life and the right gift for the right person at the right occasion.
