I love designing tablescapes. I started back in September 2010 and I now design tablescapes to share on my blog as well as on "Between Naps on the Porch" for Tablescape Thursdays.

My passion for designing tablescapes has sent me out on a search to buy more dishes that I can share every week.

I also enjoy making my own napkins to go with my different dishes and I love to mix and match some of my beautiful dishes.

My Love For Valentine's Day.

My Inspiration for this Tablescape was my love for putting a
Victorian table together for
Valentine's Day.
I purchased this lovely plate it Ross for $3.99 
had to have all four.
The pattern is Amore Rose.
I made my Victorian Menu card's for this Tablescape ! 

Do you remember my ruffled placemat's from
Vintage and Shabby Tablescape this past Aug ?

I did use four layers of Dishes..

I hope you are having a wonderful Day !!


My Ceterpiece is a mix of pink mini carnations and
Pink Alstroemeria.. 

This plate has words on it like Love!! Love !! and more Love can you see it ?

I purchased this Dessert plate from Ebay  some time ago.
The pattern reads Bavaria Schumann so sweet.
I did put pink ribbon through the holds on the plate just of Fun.

Time to light the candles and have a glass of wine.

I hope you all come Back!!
Please take a moment to comment. Thank you all so Much.
I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day coming up next week.

I love your mix and match dishes, but especially the heart plate. I see that set at Ross, and love it each time I go. Yet I only have a limited amount of space for dishes, so I've had to be more selective about what I bring home with me. I'll just have to enjoy those plates through your pictures.

You do a wonderful job at showing that everything doesn't have to match, so anyone can have a lovely table for any occasion. Thanks for sharing at the Your Cozy Home Party!

Nice to meet you Diane and thanks for stopping by my blog today. My blog designer was Karen Valentine at Valentine Designs. I have her button on the left side of my blog near the bottom and you can click on it to find her.

What lovely tablescapes you do. I enjoy decorating my tables but certainly not with the flair that you do. I LOVE dishes and will enjoy stopping by in the future to see what you have come up with. What a fun blog you have.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sue said...

Visiting from The Tablescaper and A Holiday Haven- I love what you did to make this so romantic and ethereal. The heart plates are so pretty, as are the ruffled chargers. I shopped at a Ross store when I was in CA a few years ago. They had SO much neat stuff. We only have TJ's and Marshall's here and they do not compare. :-) Sue
