If you enjoy doing table settings you might have a similar
problem as I do. Without thinking, it's easy to do it the same
the way next time! I noticed that before so I decided to grab
a different table cloth this year and start there for this
Valentine
table setting.
Last year I put out the plates that I now have above in
my armoire so I purposefully chose differently this time.
The little Valentine angel is a Nicol Sayre creation.
I have these little heart shaped plates from the
90's that are fun with Victorian style clip art and
I mixed them with some USA red transferware
called "English Abbey". The white plates from
are from Czechoslovakia with a pattern name
"Bernadotte".
I had made the tea cosy last year. The fabric
is by Cynthia Hart The Gifted Line. The plates inside
the armoire are Victorian images of romantic
couples that are by Adams and are English.
I think I got the fabric for this tablecloth on Ebay.
I also made a runner for the buffet.
I also want to say you might not like my style of things
and I am ok with that! I don't ever remember a time when
there were so many different styles.
Here are some Cupid vintage napkins I found a year
or 2 ago:
As a senior, I really enjoy table setting even if I
am not having anyone for dinner. I go from season
to season or holiday and especially love that I have
flowers in the garden to enjoy making bouquets for
the table. Do you enjoy table setting?
Wonderful Valentine's vignettes! Such beauty and inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIf only I had the china and the dining area to have settings. I so enjoy yours. I like the table cloth with pink in it to accent the dishes. Sweet angel over looking it all. Happy Valentines Day Saturday.
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is beautiful! Celebrating Valentine's Day is always a fun and festive thing to do in the middle of winter.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! You do such a lovely job of arranging it all. I do love to set a table for formal occasions and have had friends and family over for afternoon teas with a theme and found that so much fun. I haven't done that in ages and you are inspiring me! Thank you for popping by my blog to say hello. Blessings on your week ahead. 💗
ReplyDeleteThe fabric you used for the tablecloth, buffet runner and tea cozy is so lovely and the perfect base for your table. I so enjoy seeing your table settings as the seasons and holidays change throughout the year. Thank you for sharing pictures with us.
