For the salad course, I turned my leaf-shaped bowls in a direction that I thought suggested a heart. I used a Dollar store red charger under my white metal chargers. Dinner plates are Fitz and Floyd Country Plaid.
A heart-shaped dessert plate served as a coaster.
Napkin rings were keys to the heart.
I put the roll in a Valentine cupcake holder under a cloche. Soft butter filled the little red pot.
Salt and pepper shakers at each end of the table:
Napkins, edged with hearts became bows on the topiaries. They were also used to conceal the pots. (Christmas wreath topiaries are marked down now!)
The only photo I took of the full centerpiece was before I had finished setting the table.

The plaid plates for Valentine's Day are genius! And the double chargers to show off the lace effect! Love it!

There are so many things to like at this table that it's hard to find a favorite, but I think it might be the key napkin rings. Delightful!
ove your fun and sweet valentine table. Love those pups and the plaid plates.
Laurie! How CUTE! Where do I start??? First, I am wild over plaid, so your Scotties and your FF plates are wonderful. And I am absolutely going to steal those white plates. Are they chargers??? Where did you find them? And the cute hearts and the clever use of the leaf as a heart... you did a super job here. Your family is very lucky, indeed.
Happy Tablescape Thursday...
XO,
Sheila :-)

Oh, Laurie, you just set the best tables! Now I'm all over those little dog salt and peppers! :) How precious.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Laurie-You outdid yourself! I LOVE the key napkin rings and you have a LOT of cloches. They are adorable. The whole table is beautiful and as everyone has noted "set with love" :) Now, what did you have to eat???
Laurie, in case you are interested, I am up for adoption! You have the most beautiful ecletic tables...this one is no exception...only you would put a Christmas tree, hearts, milk glass, tartans and turn a leaf so it looks like a heart together on one table! I ♥ it...
You rock again! Love the beautiful tablescape. I especially love napkin rings. The topiaries are beautiful and such a deal. Hugs, Ginger
I love the use of the plaid in this tablescape, Laurie! Those little doggies are adorable! And the cloche is too, too cute. You've done such a sweet job on this lovey dovey table setting.

Laurie, don't know how I missed seeing this one on Thursday. Sorry to be late. Love seeing your table set for Valentines. The layers with the plaid plates and the leaf bowls work perfectly. I'm a long time fan of plaid and just recently added some plaid plates to the cupboard, along with a great GW find of a set of plaid cups and saucers. I kept looking for plates, even went back another day to see if they might surface. Sure wish I had the matching plates. Thanks for sharing the love ~ Sarah
Such a great table. Your family is right, anytime your family gathers around the table is a sign of love.
Thanks for bringing your wonderful table to Seasonal Sundays.
