A HEARTFELT POST

Those hearts on the backs of the chairs are made of felt, so that makes this a “heartfelt” post.  (It’s hard coming up with post titles, so there are no limits to what I might resort to when I title my posts!)
TBL W CHAIRS
OVRHD W HEARTS
PLACE STG W HEART
Since I only have six of the heart-shaped plates (from Target several years ago), I used these patterned plates for the the place setting on each end of the table (can’t recall where I got these).PLACE STG W PTRND PLATE
A clear, glass plate tops a Valentine paper dessert plate, which tops a paper heart doily, which tops a white metal charger!
PLACE STG WO HEART
The keys to my heart are napkin holders (napkin rings from a going out of business sale at a gift store years ago; linens from an estate sale a couple of years ago).
KEYS TO HEART
I chose to use this flatware, because the pattern name is “Eternally Yours”.
FLATWARE
I couldn’t get a good picture of the flower cart on my vintage glasses (from an estate sale years ago), so I put a piece of white paper inside this glass for the photo.

CANDY HEARTS-CUPCK
I’m not even going to tell you how many times I copied the front and back of this Valentine card, attempting to get them right-side-up on both sides, so they would show the front and the back from each side of the table.

HEART ORNAMENTS
These are the dollar store ornaments that just keep on giving.  I had them on the backs of my chairs for Christmas Eve dinner.  I intended to tell everyone to take one home, but I completely forgot.  (I really did forget.  I wasn’t even thinking about using these for Valentine’s Day décor.)

But since I still had them, I flipped them over and hung them back onto the chairs for this Valentine’s table.

Laurie, your table is ready for the party! Fun to see all your "heartfelt" details on this table. Eternally Yours flatware was the first set of flatware I ever owned. I bought it with money that someone gave me for high school graduation. I've since passed it along to my niece. Pretty pattern. ;-)
Looking forward to your party! ~ Sarah

You did good decorating the table and the title. :D You must have an unlimited supply of decorations/accessories for every holiday.
Hope you had a nice weekend.

Debbie said...

I loved the title, and clearly we think alike because I guessed immediately that I was going to see hearts and felt. Too cute!

I just love this festive table, especially the key themed napkin rings. That was my very favorite part. I'm glad your forgot to tell folks to take the hearts home. They are perfect for this table.

It's all so very LAURIE. It makes me smile.

Beautiful,and so very HAPPY,Laurie! I love the little details--and can TOTALLY relate to the copying-both-sides problem. :)
Here's to happy hearts on a Monday!

WOW..what a sweet romantic table setting. Ilove those heart plates. I dont decorate my table except for Thanksgiving and Easter. I host the dinner those two holidays and go to my sisters for Christmas, Fourth Of July. My sister and I go to a tea party the other holidays so we get to use all the pretty dishes/tea cups and stuff. What will you be serving?
(sure, now bloggers want a menu to go along with the table setting, what next?)hahaha!!

What a delightful table you set. So perfect for Valentine's Day. Love the Scotties on your table!
I have to admit I basically have nothing for V-day.

Hi Laurie!
A girandole is just the French term for a candelabra (Usually with crystals or prisms) Antique dealers often use this term I can't get enough of em! *winks* Vanna
