Hello sweet friends, how are you? We have had snow and ice the past three days. I think today I shall bundle up and venture outside. This will surely be followed by Sunday Smiles A Moveable Feast.
Sunday Smiles A Moveable Feast
I love these recipes inspired by favorite books. The Strawberries and Cream Cake is perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Paper Heart Wreath
This lovely wreath makes my heart flutter with delight.
Get To Know Ann Lowe
If you’ve never heard of designer Ann Lowe I bet you’ve seen her work. This consummate couturier is finally being recognized for her amazing clothes.
Hearts and Flowers
I adore all of the feminine touches in this lovely home in Dallas.
Smell The Roses
These sweet smelling soaps would make wonderful favors at fun Galentine gatherings.
A Jubbly Celebration
Congratulations to Queen Elizabeth on her Platinum JUBILLEE Celebration. She has now sat on the throne of England for 70 years. It is tradition that commemorative china is produced. I had a good giggle over the JUBBLY Celebration misprint. How I would love to have a plate or cup from that hilarious line.
I’ve written many, many posts over the years about the Royal family. Here are a few about the Queen.

In Case You Missed It
What a lovely Sunday Smiles! Jubbly – that’s hilarious! I read an article that Jackie was not thrilled with her wedding gown arrangements (that apparently Joseph Kennedy had made), but the gown was absolutely gorgeous. Cheers to surviving another week of renovations, Laura.
Rita and Laura, the information that Joseph Kennedy made the wedding arrangements for the wedding illustrates how controlling he was. Boy, I hope the company that made the mistake with their souvenir china line sells a lot of souvenirs. because of the funny misspelling. I’ve read that there were companies that actually went out of business for an event being canceled. Edward VIII’s abdication. Heavens, I almost did a Jubbly thing. I first typed Edward VIII’s abduction.
Laura, Last week’s Sunday Smiles was so good that it is still open on my desktop.

Pinned that recipe – yum and it was so cute. Can a cake be cute? And that wedding dress was amazing! It would be so fashionable even now. Thanks for the smiles! We are warming up this week! Have a good one.
Good Sunday to you and all the lovely ladies.
I definitely adore your decor. It’s very unique and gentile, reminds me of a gentler, simpler, times.
Thank you my dear
A fantastic Sunday smiles. The wedding gown is stunning.
Love the Royals
I had not heard about the Jubbly misprint–hilarious!
I just read The New York Times article about Ann Lowe. Obviously, Joseph Kennedy thought it was okay to use Ann Lowe as a token rather than use a Parisian dressmaker as Jackie desired. But for Jackie’s parents’ housekeeper or butler, to tell Ann Lowe to use the servants’ entrance rather than the main door when she delivered the dresses just about says it all.
I look forward to Sunday Smiles, Laura.
I’m hoping to nab some sort of Jubilee souvenir thing this year — she’s so amazing. I’m guessing you saw the commemorative photo for this year . She looked fabulous in that green suit with those red boxes in front of her! Thanks for all the wonderful links, as always!
