Valentines Day Table


I'm linking to two parties. Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie is hosting a Valentine Party. Susan is hosting Tablescape Thursday. Click on the links to take you to see other posts.


I layered my table with a red tablecloth and a white crocheted table cloth. White chargers, white dinner plates, red napkins and white salad plates were used at the place settings, as well as my everyday Oneida flatware and glass water goblets. I also used white candlesticks, with red tapers.

The little Pier 1 love bird salt and pepper shakers look perfect on the table.

I made this heart at the ladies retreat this past weekend.

For my wedding, the theme was calla lilies. A friend gave me this little heart-shaped ceramic box with calla lilies along with her wedding gift to me. It always reminds me of my wedding day.


At Christmas I called this an angel. For Valentines Day, I'll call it a cherub, holding a little heart name tag.
I hope to replace this candle with some flowers on the 14th.

UPDATE: Feb 14th. I got my flowers from DH.






Sugar cookies for dessert. DH rolled them out and baked them. I decorated them. I picked up this server at the thrift shop.
















This is a sparkly heart wreath on my front door. I purchased it at CVS.





I also purchased those little conversation hearts, and had them in a little apothecary jar. However, they all disappeared. I guess I need to buy that candy at the last minute. I couldn't even run out to the store and get more since we are snowed in today. Have a happy Valentines Day.

  2. Karen, that thrift store server is a real treasure along with that beautiful crocheted tablecloth. I need to get a new white tablecloth for my glass dining room table.

    BTW, you will see on my post this week that I carried calla lilies for my wedding, too!! Still ♥ them, to this day.

  6. Karen, I love your table! It is so pretty and festive! That heart with your name on it is just darling. Love your cookies, too. All of your dishes and the birds are perfect for a Valentine's table!

    I love the fact that you are going to have a caregivers tea at your church. That is so neat because it's one of the hardest jobs ever. My BFF took care of her aged mother, and while she loved doing it, it was exhausting. So I think that is great! Best of luck with it!

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

Your wreath looks so nice on your door. Beautiful heart and message you made at the retreat. I'm still laughing about your dissappearing candy hearts! Thank you so much for joining the party. laurie
