The following blogs have beautiful tablescapes awaiting your visit:



Last week I posted a Valentine's tablescape that was fairly traditional...with lots of that bold color, RED. You can view that post by clicking HERE. This week's table is all about the color, PINK, and I'm going for silly and whimsical. I pulled my inspiration from this little dish I found on sale right after Valentine's Day last year at Kohls.



Do you see the pink feather boa around the centerpiece? :-) (Click on pics to enlarge)



Apothecary jar came from Marshalls several months ago...



Found these cute, pink "heart" dishes at Michaels this year for only $1 each...



Salad plate is Homer Laughlin...not sure of the pattern since the name isn't shown on the back. I found six, 5-pc place settings on eBay for around $35...including shipping.



Bet you recognize this china...it's the one used on our TT button. It's made by International and the pattern is Glenwood. Found it while out antiquing one day...got twenty+ pieces for around $14 and then bought some fill in pieces off eBay. Lace chargers are from Horchow online, a couple of years ago.



I joined a Red Hat group when I was only 48 years old. If you are a member in a Red Hat Club and you aren't yet 50, you can't wear the true Red Hat Society colors, red and purple. Instead, you are supposed to wear what they call the "watered down" colors, pink and lavender. I like the colors pink and lavender much better anyway...so I was quite happy about that! As you know, Red Hats really dress up when they get together. This cute little fluffy thing was part of a set of wrist thingies...not sure what they are called.



I thought they looked cute around the stems of the glasses in this whimsical tablescape.



Continued the "conversation hearts" theme in my centerpiece...
I used a pink feather boa left over from my Red Hat days, around the base of the jar.



A little closer view...



Around 5 years ago, I received these sweet bees wax candles as a gift from a friend. They are kind of an unusual size and I've never been able to find a use for them. I loved how they looked , surrounded by the little conversation hearts.



Candlelight, so romantic...





Speaking of conversation hearts, I was stunned when I stopped during my tablescaping to actually read some of the hearts. Guess Brach's is trying to keep up with the times...check out these messages... (Email Me, Top Chef and I.M. Me)







I couldn't resist these edible love notes...found these at Wal-mart...



The pen really works and I ate one...tasted pretty good. :-)







Thanks for stopping by! Please take time to visit each of the tablescape links posted above. I bet there will be lots of great Valentine's Day tables...can't wait! :-)

Susan this is the cutest/sweetest Valentine table! I love it!

Although my table has hearts, in honor of Valentine's Day, it's not really a Valentine table. It's fun, though.

Hi Susan...I love your pink tablescape! Your idea of using the conversation hearts in the apothecary jar and in the candle holders is perfect for Valentine's Day! I still love those gorgeous chargers!...Debbie

Hi Susan!
Happy Valentine's Day!!! :-)
Your table is lovely. We must have been on the same wavelength. I did a "Pink" Sweetheart table. I can't wait to see everyone's ideas and tables this week. I'm sure there will be lots of great, festive tables. Thanks for doing this every week. I just love it!!
Have a great V-day!
Warmly,
Alisa

Hello Susan,

Another fantastic table! I love the lattice band dishes. My favorite. Speaking of Homer Laughlin, I'm working on a post that mentions the manufacturer that I hope to complete and post tomorrow. Hopefully, you can visit and share your thoughts on the post. Thanks again for inviting me to this wonderful and exciting event.

Bravo! I love this weeks table, it's so soft sweet and romantic.
You got some great deals on E-bay, I just love Ebay. With the soft candles burning and all those lovely plates it should be in a magazine. Cindy

Hi Susan... beautiful tablescape as usual... I love those chargers... and I have a green pattern similar to your pink banded Glenwood pattern. Mine is by Semi-Vitrious Dinnerware and is called Emerald... Mine are pretty old, but not sure how old - I've had them for a long time? I'll post them in a couple of weeks and you can take a look.

I LOVE those beeswax candles too! I bought some a few weeks ago in Wimberly, Tx... and they're just beautiful.

You are so wonderfully creative, and I get new ideas from you every week. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent.

Hugs. Dixie

Hi Susan,

I think doing this on Thursday is a great idea. It works better for me. I've been looking at so much tableware lately, everyone is having such great sales. So I didn't do a table setting this week, but decided to share some of the dishes I've found on sale. Although I would have loved to buy some, I was good and just passed it on.

Hugs

Love, love this tablescape, Susan. So clever to surround those candles with those conversation hearts (I can't believe they've changed the sayings on them!). I've wanted some of those chargers since the first time I saw yours. They are simply exquisite. I had a pink feather boa on a tablescape for the Tues. that our power went out. Mine was a very inexpensive one, and left pink feathers all over my table! laurie

The word that comes to mind when I look at your tablescape is precious. It is clever using conversation hearts and soft pastels. I think this is one of the prettiest Valentine's tables I've seen in a long time. I love that you chose delicate colors instead of the traditional red.

Hi Susan,

I had such a lovely time joining in with last weeks tablescape with you that I'm back. I have a very romantic garden table setting this week. We are still in Summer here in Australia so entertaining outside is a very big part of our life.

I just noticed outdoors Wednesdays on your blog. I just don't know how you fit all these different days into your week Susan, and work full time. I'm so busy just doing the few posts that I do.

Have a great week,

xx Coty

P.S. I love the edible heart notes.

At Thursday, February 12, 2009 , Blogger Glenda said...

I think I could get DH to go along with everything but possibly the boa. He would probably ask me if it was still alive. And though it would break my heart, I would most likely acquiesce and remove the boa from his sight. After all, I wouldn't want to have Valentine's dinner by myself. And then again, it might put him in touch with his feminine side and he might love it as much as I do. Or he might see how happy I am and decide that "discretion IS the better part of valor" and decide to say nothing. One can only hope that he is as smart as I thought he was when we married.

Oh, Susan, the table is just dreamy!!! I love it! Our dining room and kitchen are in a state of chaos right now (we're refinishing hardwood floors, and we have furniture pulled out of rooms and crammed into others), so I didn't get to do ANY decorating for Valentine's Day...in fact, I don't even think I can GET to my Valentine's Day decor! So I'll just have to keep visiting you and looking at all your pretty Valentine's treasures. So lovely and SO creative!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Another stunning tablescape Susan and so inspiring, your choice of colours, dishes and accessories are perfect. I have not seen "love" hearts (as they are called in England) for ages and they look so pretty with your table settings. I have really enjoyed my second tablescape and visiting everyone who took part. Kathy.

Hello! I just discovered your blog and have been enjoying your tablescapes. Beautiful! The pattern name for the Homer Laughlin plate (roses) is Countess. I inherited my grandmother's set made in the 1940's.
