Pink Valentine Table

13 years ago

I created this tablescape on my kitchen table using mostly TS items.

The pale pink tree was a 90% off item at HL after Christmas. The rose garland on the tree was a TS find and the heart lights on the tree are Target this year.

The tin heart with the key is a TS find.

The tealight Valentine cottage is also TS, as well as the pink glass candleholder.

The Heart plate, pink plate, white charger, and pink goblet are TS treasures. The gold charger was Big Lots years ago.

The Valentine M & M's are in another TS candy dish.

The pink/white striped napkins are also TS, however, the flatware is many yrs old purchased with box top coupons.

The pink tablecloth is also TS. DH asked that I keep most of the table clear, so this is simpler than many of my tables, LOL.

TTFN,

Candy

Candy, you always find the neatest things. I love the little pink Valentine house! And your little tree is delightful. The tin heart with key was a neat find too.
I sure wish I had you for a shopping buddy, LOL. Or at least some of the TS you go to.

hugs, Karen

Pretty In Pink !!
Lovely table Candy..and I agree w/Karen - you have the neatest things.
I love that tin heart too and the pretty Valentine House..it's Very Different..like a Gingerbread house but for VDay! Cute CP Tree with the roses and are the lights flowers too? Your stems and VDay plates are a pretty color pink. I still get amazed over how quickly you do all of this and it always looks so lovely.

I put them in the ground yesterday in a nice shady location. They will almost certainly get knocked back next winter by the first frost or freeze, but I hope to get some bright pink color out of them before they do. Then it will be interesting to see if they come back, if at all, or even bigger and stronger in following years as the roots get established. Carol in Jax

annebert - Hi and thank you :) That is a Hilo Beauty. I find reds really hard to photograph but this pic is true to the color I got last summer. I enjoyed watching the inflo develop as it was a very dark burgundy color. Bill - I love your Jeannie Moragne, I think that just went straight to the top of my list :) Musarojo - I hope that pod holds on for you, that sounds like a beautiful cross!!! My pods also slowed their growing this winter but with the help of the GH they seem to be slowly starting up again. It's amazing how fast they grow in the beginning!

*PINK* Valentines Day tablescapes...

Oh my gosh, those are drop-dead gorgeous! I'm having serious tablescape envy now! As was already suggested here, my advice would be to shop around for some patterned salad plates that will work well with your pink dinnerware. Instead of the same old napkin rings, maybe tie them with a pretty ribbon and tuck in a flower or tie on a small charm. I set my table last night with my new pink & white Old British Castles dinner plates, and it turned out pretty nice . . . although NOT in the same class as many of the ones I've seen here! No pics, though. I started off designing my tablescape by "shopping" my house for possible things to use. I came up with cut crystal; some silver serving pieces; some red cut-glass wine glasses; silver and gold chargers; candles in various colors and candleholders in silver, red, gold, white and mercury glass; vintage books with great covers; some decorative items; statues; silk flowers (it was too late to go out and buy real ones);and many Shabby Chic-type pieces. I put everything on the nearby buffet and played around until I found something I liked for my tablescape. You might try that yourself. I'll bet you'd be surprised at the possibilities that you have to choose from right in your own home. Don't forget to show us the final results, though! Lynn

Delph, how do you remember those things, LOL...I don't dislike them ...only in my house! :) They are very cute to look at...Some might feel that way about my 4 little gkids! And thank you! OA, I don't think the dishes are older than the napkins...she didn't always have them...somewhere along the line she acquired them....and she really didn't want to give them to me! I kind of twisted her arm...:) One of my other sisters got her good china and gorgeous china chargers when we split up her house.... And no way could I make any of you look bad! Maryanne! How nice to see you..I wanted to email you, but you have no email.. Thanks for your comments and visiting my little blog too! Thanks Luvs, Betty, pdg, dd, dd50, mo, magpie..and Prosperity..I appreciate you kind comments.. DD, I did them 3 diff days..don't want YKW to go ballistic! PD, they were 5 each...same by you? NCnana, I never ask anyone to pick..like with dessert, one of each please! LOL Lynne I wish!! I have been trying to improve my skills, but I would love to take a course. Food is difficult, and the lighting has to be good... But thanks..:) Jane you are so sweet. You and so many of the others here do a great job on your tables..we all inspire each other...

Pretty n' Pink, candy! Love the layered plates! If DH wants to keep that area clear for food, I think it would be cool to add a runner from under the tree forward down over the table edge. What do you think? (i'm just brain-stormin' & that's what crossed my mind when I saw your pink Val t'scape. Mybe a white crocheted one/ OR ANOTHER SHADE OF PINK OR RED ,,,anyway, it could draw one's eye right to your "pretty in pink" centerpc. TFS, candy! jeanne s.

When I saw the little house in 1st pic, I thought"sugar & spice & everything nice!" As it looked like house was "sugared" Was hoping the candy would be spice drops- they probably don't even make them anymore!! A lovely setting for dinner for 2! What's on the menu? I love the garland in the little tree, sure shows how lovely ts tidbits can be when put together right!! Jan

Candy, that little house is so sweet. The heart plates are pretty but I love the pink ones under them. What a cute tree you decorated. So pretty all lit up with your cute little heart lights and garland.

This is great to come here tonight and see two more beautiful tables.

That little tea lite V-Day cottage is adorable & the key & heart, you found some really cute & unique pieces for your table & TS finds at that!!!

The tree with the heart lites & rose garland is perfect & love your TS find dishes too.

I have checked our GW 3 times lately & not one thing for V-Day, unless they are getting picked over fast!!

Karen, that Valentine House was one of my early TS finds many years ago.

Jane, only the hearts are lights. The garland is just the roses, I see you found that out.

Jeanne, I like the runner suggestion.

Jan, I don't always know what I will do with my TS treasures when I find them. I bought the garland last year and the tree after Christmas, and when I went to decorate the tree, the colors on the garland were just what I wanted. Dh and I always eat in front of the TV. the tables don't get used, I just enjoy creating them.

Punk & Frou, the pink plates were a set of 8 I bought at Sal. Army last summer for $3.75!!

Yachter, the tealight cottage was many yrs. ago. Since I shop many different TS's it increases my chances. The tin heart was also several yrs ago, but the dishes/linens have all been within the last year, and the heart plates were last week at ARC.

Nana, I bought the stemware last year (Jan, 2010) after Christmas when I decided to create a Valentine table because I was having the blues taking down my Christmas decor! I posted it on another forum, Karen saw it, asked me if it was OK to post here.....invited me here, and now I visit the dish section first in the TS's!! LOL

Glad you all liked it.

TTFN,
Candy

I really really like those pink dishes with that raised design---so soft and pretty. The little house and heart with key were perfect finds an go great with your decorated tree. It all really looks pretty. If DH isn't going to eat there, curious as to why he asked you to use less on the table?????? Luvs

Kath, I agree, it looks great for spring.

Luvs, he wants to have it clear for paperwork and projects.
I did have to clear it off completely for him to do his tax preparation.

TTFN,
Candy
