PINK PRETTY PARTY

Well all enjoy getting a Valentine's Day card, flowers, or candy for this special day.

 This pretty table is set with a mix of new and antique china.
 The hint of hearts is present on the candles placed  in bright pink candle sticks. 
A wide pink stripe with gold trimmings encircle the lovely teapot sitting atop of a bright pink cake stand. This centerpiece is for the Valentine's tea party.
Two of these dainty pink antique serving plates balance the centerpiece. The pattern of an idyllic bright pink scene will serve tea sandwiches and tiny sweets.  
Please, come and participate with great enthusiasm by picking your place setting. Each has an antique tea plate for your choice of tea sandwiches. 
The salad and dinner plate are a chintz pattern of pink roses and variable green leaves. You will next be served heart shaped scones with cream and strawberry jam. The choice of many dainty desserts can be placed on your dinner plate.
 A touch of femininity is the embroidered flower on the bright pink napkin with white lace trim.  
 You will be wined with sparkling cherry juice in the pink stemmed goblets. Of course, a strawberry flavored tea will give a pink luster to your antique tea cup.
The antique cup has a charming scene of a bridge. The tea set has no markings, which allows the mind to imagine the olden times and places it has served great teas. 
My hopes are that you will be encouraged to have a pink or red for family, friends, and love ones. 
  Our love....

RED HEART WITH LOVE

Everything elegant with red and gold shades for Valentine's Day.
 Red glitter hearts scattered on a white crisp tablecloth is the basis for this classic tablescape.
 This centerpiece is balanced for a traditional touch.
 Tall red candleholders and tall red candles are striking against square gold trimmed Waterford candleholders with red square candles.
 Dark red roses show their beauty in two round vases.
 A bright red cake stand with a charming teapot grace the center of the table. 
 The lovely white porcelain teapot is decorated in gold trim and sprinkles.
 A sophisticated place setting is again repeating the gold and red hues. 
 Sweet chocolate treats are wrapped in red and gold foil as they fill the cream soups which will hold red tomato soup.
 The time honored Wedgwood pattern of "Chiltern" W4284 was discovered at the wonderful White Elephant Antique Mall in Dallas. 
 The sparkling beaded placemats give class to each place setting.
 A toast to love with the red flutes with gold trim will inspire more hugs and kisses.
 A nod to the heart shaped napkins with the red of the heart and gold lace are held by the golden napkin rings.
On Valentine's Day, I will be dressed in red and accessorized with my gold jewelry, to complement the traditional Valentine table.
