William Sonoma This V-DAY

How will you be celebrating this Valentine's Day? My husband & I were originally going to go out to a nice dinner, but we decided to take the fancy dinner money & donate it to a charity.  It's the first time we've ever done this on V-day....but we knew that we could come up with something fun to do anyway.  So, Mat offered to make a lovely dinner instead - then we both will be making something FUN for dessert! Neat huh?

However, if you're NOT in the cooking or going out mode, I suggest ordering something sweet & pretty for your Valentine - I recommend William Sonoma.  They have the prettiest cakes & candies for that special day.

Here are a few of my faves, and even though I'm still looking to try some of these....just out of sheer beauty I'd buy some.

Seriously, who wouldn't be impressed with any of these arriving at their door?

William Sonoma Valentine Treats...

I'm back.....I hope all of you are able to view the photos on my blog.  If you think there are pictures missing in a post, please email me.  You can find my email in my profile. Anyway....

Valentine's Day is only 3 days away, any plans??  My husband & I will be going to a special dinner that he has planned. He won't tell me where we are going, so apparently it's a SECRET.  I have a feeling it's this place I've been wanting to go to forever! I bet he makes a delicious dessert for me when we get home....he knows I am a CHOCOLATE ADDICT & V-day is the one day I excuse myself to go all out & eat sweets!! 

So, what are your plans ?? What will you be doing on Sunday, January 14th, 2010? 

If you haven't shopped for food or dessert on the William-Sonoma website, you must! They have so many goodies to choose from. Here are a few favorites of mine from their Valentine's Day treats! Enjoy! XOXO!
