Sunday Favorites, Tablescape Thursday-Valentine's Table for Two


Happy Valentine's Day!  I originally posted my Valentine's Tablescape a couple weeks ago but thought it would be  perfect for a Chari's Sunday Favorites post.  I apologize if you have already seen it..but this was one of my favorites !     




Original post 2/3/10

I'm particpating with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.  I have so much fun putting a tablescape together and with Valentine's quickly approaching I thought I better get in gear and get busy on a Valentinescape.    So I started playing with my dishes and to my surprise I had everything on hand to create a red and white theme...well almost everything..I did need some fresh flowers.  


These placemats and matching napkins were purchased in the most beautiful shoppe in Carmel last year.  These were on sale and I loved the print and rich colors.


I used my faux pearl braclets again for napkin rings!  My napkins wear them as much as I do.



My favorite red goblets...I love the bubbles in the glass.




The flatware is King Cedric-Oneida.


I layered a portugal charger, then my Lenox  "Butterfly Meadow"  salad plate and topped it with a white sunflower bowl.  







It still needed more red so I found a set of  fun little bowls I bought at Christmas just because they were so cute..a polka dot and a stripe. 



I finshed the table with a white votives candles in crystal holders and a red and white bouquet of flowers.




I later  found these little red heart shaped voitives at Target for $1.00 and added them to my table along with a heart-shaped plate...and       



before I could finish the table...I had some visitors drop by and they love chocolate so much I...


 added two heart shaped ramekins from Target (their favorite store)  filled with chocolate truffles just for them.


So now I have two looks for this place setting...a heart shaped ramekin or a cute little polka dot bowl as a finishing touch.  I must say I really do like the little ramekins too.   







Those little lovebirds really like dining by candlelight!  




Happy Valentine's Day!

    I just adore a red and white tablescape. You created a showstopping thing of beauty here. Your placemats are gorgeous in all of the warm colors. Love them! I have the same goblets in green and adore them as well. They are just lovely in red. It's all fantastic, elegant and very creative!

  10. This is just gorgoeus. I love all of the various pieces you have for the tablescape. I can't decide between the polka dot bowl or the ramekins. They are both just perfect. Love the little Target Love Birds too. Everything is just lovely. Hugs, Marty

  25. The only kind of tablescapes I make around here involve fast food bags and our comfy chair/couch in front of the TV. HOWEVER - - - if I DID act like a classy lady and make a tablescape for Valentine's Day, I would want it to look JUST LIKE these individual place settings. Sooooo cute - - - and I want the chocolate in that little heart too.
