From my valentine

We're horrible about waiting until the actual holiday. We both get it from our mothers, so at least we come by it honestly. Once we were both back home today it was "so do you want your present now or do you want to wait until tomorrow?"

You might remember when I posted about our Chinese cabinet from Kincaid's that I loved this turquoise glazed reproduction horse figure. I love his fat body and neck with his slender legs and tiny head. He's got some kiln dirt on him at the moment which I might clean up a bit, but I'll leave the red wax stamp on his forehead. We've set him on each of our cabinets and he looks fab on both, but I'm thinking he'll eventually live on the dark one that I plan to use in the entry.

Brett's gift was in two parts. The bottles of his favorite wine are chilling away in the fridge (we've suddenly and inexplicably turned into wine drinkers), and he's reading the manual for his new copy of Wii Resort Sports.

The Olympics are set to record tonight as the KU basketball game begins at 7pm. Beef stew is thawing for the dinner we'll have before, and my "toss in what ya got" cheese dip is warming in the little crock pot for during the game.

Tomorrow we're off to the remodeling show down at the American Royal. Here's hoping you enjoy your weekend with your valentine just as much.

Oh, David, that is some equine gorgeousness! And in one of my most favorite colors. Stunning.

This afternoon, I bought a beautiful cream sofa at my fave consignment store. Happy V-Day to me!

David said...

He did really well didn't he =)

Looking forward to seeing your new sofa in the next reveal!

I was just showing this picture to The Pea and she said,"He has boo-hees!"

Meaning "boobies."

David said...

Observant Pea, I can totally see where she sees that.

How much do I love that you're reading blogs with her. You can teach animals, colors, and the art of choosing accessories all in that one photo =)

Just before the "boo-hees" comment, she had asked me what is was and where you were going to put it in your house.

Oh yeah - it's in the genes.

Totally fab! We have a horse my husband's great great grandfather blew. The romantic in me says his breath remains. My taurus son says "some funky proportions going on there."


Glad you two have started drinking wine. Red wine so good for your heart, along with dark chocolate and walnuts. All good. Happy valentines to the both of you.

Pretty color David, a swell gift and a fun weekend sounds like. Enjoy.

hello gorgeous said...

Does home before dark's comment sound really obscene? Ha!

Happy V-Day - you guys treat each other very well...
