With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, I’m anticipating celebrating with a few Hearts, Flowers & a little Chocolate!
I found these Marbled Chocolate Heart Cups at World Market that make for a quick & easy Valentine’s Day treat~
Perfect for filling with mousse, ice cream, lemon curd or any berries & whipped cream~
I kept it simple and added a tablespoon of Grand Marnier to my whipped cream for a little orange flavor, added some strawberries and garnished with chocolate curls included in the package~
Ideal for a Valentine’s Day served with Rose Petal Tea, I also found at World Market~
And a few heart-shaped tea sandwiches of the chicken salad variety and very thin bread from Pepperidge Farm~ a compromise with white on one side & wheat on the other :)
Table Details:
Dishes/G. Demartine & Cie~ Avenier Limoges
Chargers, Napkins & Teapot/ HomeGoods
Leaf Demitasse Spoons/ Tuesday Morning
Wishing you Hearts, Flowers & Chocolate this Valentine’s Day~ not necessarily in that order :)
Have a taste of Chocolate Chocolate,
a sweet read for Valentine’s Day. . .
As always, a most gorgeous table…so romantic in every way!
The book looks delightful as well as your lovely table! I am beginning to get excited about Valentine’s Day!

What a charming Valentine’s Day tea table, the marbled chocolate cups are delightful and the heart shaped tea sandwiches are so pretty!
Love your Limoges china, classic.
I was just at World Market yesterday. Now it looks like I’ll have to go back and look for heart shaped chocolate. Mary, I want you to move in and create for me every day!
Okay, that does it…I really “need” to make the trip to World Market! These little hearts are fabulous, Mary. Beautiful post, as always.
Darn it, I just used my birthday coupon from World Market to buy napkins and napkin rings. I would have much preferred chocolate heart cups! Your dessert creation looks so decadent! And how appropriate to accompany them with rose petal tea, which I’m sure tastes as wonderful as it looks. Love the beautiful rose themed china against the white tablecloth, and those napkins are so pretty. Thank you for sharing, Mary. It’s just as sweet as can be.
Mary – what a beautful post. I just love everything. Wish we had World Market up here. Had my husband check out a store when he was down south, but you know men -“nothing there he had to have”! I love your chocolate cups and flowers and tea sandwichs , everything was just so well put together, but then again that is what you do. Thank you!!!
I saw those chocolate cups at World Market. You made them look so beautiful and delicious. I want to come have tea with you. Everything looks just perfect. :-)
What a lovely heart-filled tea party!
I love tea parties and yours is simply lovely…. Very romantic, from the pristine white cloth to the decadent looks of the deliciously filled chocolate cups…..but my heart started beating really fast when I noticed your leaf teaspoons! I covet them ;-)
Thank you, Mary….gorgoeus as always.
ooops….gorgeous… ;-) fingers working faster than brain
Okay, game over, I must have chocolate hearts. Now.
Oh Mary, your Limoges china is beautiful…so romantic and delicate. A lovely Valentine’s setting. The chocolate cups look so intriguing and sparks the imagination for all kinds of wonderful treats…but I must say, yours sounds wonderful and I think I just might have to give that a try. As always, beautiful!
The little chocolate hearts and rose petal tea look like just the thing for Valentine’s day Drat! and I was just at World Market yesterday.. oh golly…I’ll just have to go again. :) Love your little heart shaped tea sandwiches too.What is it about tea sandwiches that make everything seem so “civilized”?
Hope you’re having a great weekend,
Babs
Mary,
I’ve not seen anything as sweet as these little chocolate hearts…ever! World Market…here I come! Such a romantic post, dear one! I love roses and these on your plates, tea cups and saucers along with those gorgeous napkins nearly made me swoon! Thank you for Valentine’s Day inspiration, indeed!
Fondly,
Pat
I have to go shopping!!! This collection of treats is just PERFECT for Lovers Day & I adore your pretty dishes & napkins that you paired it all with, Mary.
You are so very creative in so many ways.
Thanks for telling us about the bread & where to buy the chocolate cups. I think WM is going to have a run on them soon.
I agree with Rett. I’m off to WM tomorrow. Reading Chocolate, Chocolate now. I know you are going to give us a splendid chocolate spread next Friday. Can’t wait. This post is full of beauty from the delicate Limoges to the yummy chocolate cups. ~ sarah
Delightful! I wish I had a World Market near by, I would rush right over. And the little chocolate cups look so pretty with the strawberries and whipped cream.
Mary, you just never cease to amaze. You have more talent in your little finger than most people possess in their entire being. I’m not sure there is an adjective to describe how incredible your posts are; time after time, after time. You amaze me.
Very pretty Mary! Love the wink and nod to relationships with the “compromise”:@)
Oh, if we had a World Market, I’d rush there to get those chocolate cups. Every detail is so beautiful, and what a great idea to use the white and wheat slices of bread for those heart shaped sandwiches. It’s just gorgeous!
Those heart-shaped chocolate cups are so cute…I’ll be headed to World Market for those! I love your book selection…so delicious…mmmm.
I love World Market and picked up the Rose Petal Tea, too. But I missed the chocolate! I’ll have to go back. Such a delightful Valentine tea post. Love the hearts!
Oh, I want those chocolate cups!!!!!!!!!! My mouth is watering now. Your presentation is perfect. Our Valentines day will be delayed til we get home. Leaving for Fl. next week (not a fun trip though). XO, Pinky
If only we had a World Market..I would be there in a heartbeat. We were married on Saint Valentine’s Day….they would be perfect for my sweetie.
Hi Mary,Everything looks do Charming and Romantic..loving everything, especially the chocolate hearts.The bread would make such delicate sandwiches to have with tea! Wish I could soak up the afternoon chatter with you and friends. Have a relaxing day. Yvette x
I’m in love with the marbled hearts! I’m thinking a field trip is in order! And that book sounds delightful.
Oh, so beautiful. Love the little chocolate cups. And the heart shaped bread is perfect.
As always, so happy to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

I just came back to enjoy your table again and to let you know that
you have just been passed along an award. Please stop by. NO obligations, it’s just to show you how much I appreciate all the work you put into your wonderful blog.
Those little heart-shaped chocolate cups are adorable! I’ll have to look for them next time I’m at World Market. I love Republic of Tea teas too. My favorite right now is Earl Greyer with a little lemon juice added. Pretty and romantic table.
I LOVE the marble chocolate heart cups! So hoping they will still have some when I get to World Market (85 miles away)! The strawberries and shaved chocolate look so pretty and I like how easy that would be. It looks so impressive. The heart shaped bread idea is neat too. Since I am on a no sugar diet the chocolate is mighty tempting but so far I am resisting. I could fill mine with blueberries and strawberries! At least this diet includes fruit.
Pretty post as always, Mary.
Lovely!
Hi, Mary. Here’s how much I love your posts–I looked at it on my phone! It was so lovely I couldn’t wait to see it on the big screen! Just lovely, and I can’t believe those darling shells come with the chocolate curls too–too, too cute!! I’ll get my iSi cream whipper going and make some chocolate whipped cream to go in them, a little Villa M sweet, bubbly wine and we’ll have a happy, happy, happy V-day!! Can’t wait!! Thanks for the heads up…I’ll be making my way there soon!
Oh my, so beautiful. Your table looks amazing and the chocolates look unreal. Fantastic. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, marty
So pretty Mary, of course I am glad I spent days getting this to open on my phone, only to be shocked to see it fft time already!
Love the little cups and all your perfect shots, if this is a warm up to food for thought you got me quaking in my boots! THIS would have been more than enough, oy what gorgeous concoctions must be coming! You know I won’t be peeking until I post mine next week, can’t wait to see what we read :)
Beautiful table, everything looks perfect and delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Your roses are fabulous! The chocolate cups are really pretty too. Ours is about 1 hour away, but these are soooo pretty, I might have to make the trip.
I finished Night Circus! I just loved it. Definitely going to get Chocolate! I will probably always be too far behind, but it sure was fun to read it. I was soooo inspired by your post.
Love, love, love everything about this post! I’m running to World Market today to see if I can still find these chocolate cups. What a clever idea. I don’t even think I can improve on how you filled the cups! I’m planning to copy you completely! Now I also need to go get a heart-shaped mold for cutting up the tea sandwiches. The table is lovely, too!
Good morning, Mary! I just LOVE World Market!!! I can stay in that store for hours just looking around and playing with all the stuff! The food selection is really incredible! They always have some of the most unique food offerings. It’s one of those stores that you just never know what you will find!!! There are 3 of them within 25 miles of my house, and I am not shy about visiting them all! You did a beautiful job here, and I love how you were able to get such a clean line on the bread when you cut out the hearts. I really think that using a thinner slice (and a steady hand!) is part of the key to that. The dishes are absolutely beautiful!!! I am partial to pink, so they really speak to me! This is a beautiful table with lots of great details and truly pretty food!
What a lovely table! I love the little heart sandwiches. The dessert looks yummy too.
Fabulous table, the dishes are gorgeous, I am very partial to pink. Those chocolates are unreal, wow! The dessert makes me want to go to the pantry, lol. Hugs,
FABBY
