I thought that an all white table
for Valentine's Day
was appropriate with all of this
cold,
snowy,
icy weather
we are all experiencing.
I used my favorite
Battenburg
lace tablecloth
and mixed in
gold, silver and
antique silver candlesticks.
The gold napkins set off the One King's Lane plates
embossed with a crown
and a Fleur-dis-lis on the charger.
The gold in the flatware
from World Market
compliments the gold tones.
I was fortunate enough to have our
house guest take these photos for me!
You can see Alex's adorable blog here.
To add texture and shine
I used my favorite goblets
passed down in our family
from my great grandmother.
What is that I see on the left?
A hint of color?
Purple tulips in a white ironstone pitcher.
Not the traditional Valentine
red rose
but somehow more wistful this time of year.
The promise of Spring!
Tulips have a way of deciding
where they want to go.
That's what I love about a
mass arrangement
like this.
No planning,
just plunk them in the pitcher
and watch them reach
towards the sun.
My Angel wings from Decor Steals
have made an unexpected appearance.
Dessert and tea are set up on the buffet.
Perhaps the wings
are guarding
dessert from my children!
I had a heck of a time
keeping them out
of the heart shaped,
chocolate dipped
shortbread cookies!
But, truth be known,
I had a hard time
resisting them
myself!
More tulips in Silver this time.
A Silver tray
with sugar and creamer
and the cookies under glass.
Another Decor Steals goody...
This beautiful carved tray
that I gilded with gold.
Delicate tea cups
and saucers with gold trim
await tea time.
I picked up these sweet luncheon napkins
at the
Mission Road Antique Mall
last weekend.
It was an afternoon date with Mr. Beaux.
Lunch and a stroll through the Antique Mall.
That's my idea
of a fun afternoon!
I have been saving these Limoges dishes
for a Spring tablescape
but somehow they managed
to sneak into this post.
Hungry yet?
Hope you are spending Valentine's Day with those you Love!
Stay Safe and Warm!
Stay Safe and Warm!
Until Next Time,
