Happy Valentines DAy 2018

 

I have to admit something…..valentines day is my least favorite holiday. It is, it really is! All that forced lovey, dovey crap…NOt my world. BUT, I do truly love to set a Valentines Day Table. The colors…reds-whites-pinks, I really like the way the colors all come together. So please do take a moment grab your cup of coffee and enjoy this year´s Valentines Day Tablescape!

 

Once again, my usual go to center piece, is the hightlight of the table. It really was meant just for Christmas-four candles and meant to be put away after the holidays. For some reason I started using this item in more than just Christmas Tablescapes. I purchased this set years ago at Depot. 

The red wine glasses I aquired through ebay classifieds.…. Just about a year ago to the date. One more morning I just typed in red stemware into the search window on ebay classifieds and struck gold!

Do you see the table runner? My sister´s mother in law Oma Veldtrup made that. And I was lucky enough to be the one to inherit it! I treasure all my tablecloths/runners, but the ones that came from the Omas…well those are worth more than a mega win in the lottery to me.

My addiction to mini cake stands, well that all started when my sister Heidi in Chicago sent me a set…ever since then when I see them in a store, somehow they just jump into my shopping cart! I do not know how!!!

 

A big shout out to my Cricut Explore Air Machine-the hearts on the plates were made with the machine. I have had the machine now for a few years, but thanks to facebook groups that I am in, I am learning and using my cricut so much more these days. The Pink plates you see? I found those awhile go at—you guessed it Depot the outlet store in Cloppenburg (my second home town)

 

Wishing all of you a happy day! As always, I am posting to Tablescape THursday! Be sure to check out all the wonderful tablescapes!
