Welcome to the first Tablescape Thursday! Thanks to Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ for hosting this. You should visit her blog and view her romantic tablescape and also check out everybody else's who are participating. I was going to wait until next week to post this but since it's already set up, I might as well post it now. Besides, I might get busy next week to prepare for a formal mardi gras party we are attending.For this set up, I chose a red tablecloth and a white lace runner. I found the wooden roses at dollar tree and I thought they were unusual and I like unusual things.
For a centerpiece, I used a little ceramic box, not really sure what it is used for but I thought the color will work, I added the roses and found a little planter with a cherub on either side, lined it with a napkin with a heart and placed the box with roses in there. I thought it made an interesting layer. I used a crystal tumbler and a wine stemware with a red heart in it. I found it at Walgreens. Do you see the squiggly stem? I also added block letters spelled "True Love" and a cherub sitting on the letters spelled "LOVE". Do you think I have enough love on this table? LOL!
I lined the beaded basket with a red paper heart doily and I plan to put some macaroons in there, which are my hubby's favorites.
I found this crystal candlestick holder from Home Goods store in Pensacola last weekend. I searched and searched for another one but couldn't find any. It was on sale for $5 so I bought it anyway.
I used a red heart placemat, my lace plate charger, Princess House Pavilion dinner plate and a Valentine's salad plate I found at TJ Maxx for $2.99.
just another view
and another
It is chilly tonight so I burned wood in the fireplace.
I hope you enjoyed my Valentine's table for 2. We will just use it for lunch on Valentine's Day because we will be going to a mardi gras ball at night. Thanks for coming. I am off to see the other tablescapes now.

Christine! Beautiful photos.. Oh with the fire light and candles so romantic. Love your candle sticks, my goodness each one of these you do is better than the one before. You are so talented. Love it. Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteYou have set a very romantic table for two. It's dreamy with the beautiful glow from the fire.
The Gold cherub is adorable.
A perfect Valentine setting.
Love the candlestick from Homegoods as well.
My husband and I met and married in Pensacola almost ten years ago. We were neighbors in an apartment complex while he was finishing flight school. Small world huh?
You almost won my giveaway tonight! When my hubby came home and I asked him to pick a letter at first he picked "X". LOL!
I reminded him pretty much no first names begin with an X so try again. Then he picked "C". Your initial twice in one night so to speak! I had 8 people with C first names though so he chose number 1 which was Chari's comment.
Too funny!

It is all so lovely, I love the beaded glass, and the heart plate! Just love it, can I borrow it for Valentine Day? lol I was expecting to see a lovely peacock! The candle holders, lovely with the crystal. Those wooden rose are great!
