Valentine Table for Four.

I am excited to share my table today.   My napkins, place mats, and napkin rings came from my good friend Loretta, @ Under the Wild Cherry Trees.  I was the lucky winner of her most recent give-away and the goodies that arrived were the inspiration for my table! 

I love the place mats and napkins and the heart napkin rings.  I didn't have Lacey chargers so I used a lace paper doilie .  The heart shaped bowls are from Michaels, only .99 cents each. 

A side view.

The cake stand was a Christmas Present from my dear hubby.  You can change the ribbon to fit the occasion, so cool.  I had valentine ribbon from the Dollar Tree, and it worked perfectly.  I spent a $1.09 for a yard of red tulle and just wrapped it around the base.  The angels were all thrift store finds.  I only paid .50 cents for the smaller ones and maybe $2 for the bigger one I place on the cake pedestal.

These little angels were one's I won from Glenda @ a Dab of This and That.  I had them out for Christmas, but they work great for Valentine's too!  The heart shaped votive came from Wally World.

I also found this angel glass candle holder at a thrift shop only .50 cents.

I found 4 British Castles dinner plates @ TJ Maxx.  They were marked at 3.99 a piece, so I grabbed them up quick.  I will add to them as I find pieces.  $16.00 isn't bad for 4 of these dinner plates.

The little white plates are very Lacey and delicate looking.  They are Noritake Ivory, only $2 for 4 of them.

But valentine dinners need to be by candlelight to get the best effect.

My artsy photos.

A beautiful, soft glow.

A stand on the chair view.  Yikes!!  What we won't do for blogging!

All the candles and votives are lit.

One more artsy frame.

One more view.    If I was super ambitious, I would have a poem.  Instead, I am having my Mom and her Beau over for dinner this Saturday night.  Any menu suggestions?  Great recipes?  I know my dessert, lava cake from Paula Dean.  But that's it!  I need your ideas!!   I have one more thing that Loretta sent.  It's this adorable valentine heart that she made.

Isn't that great!!  I love it, she is a talented lady!  Go say hi and look at the pics of her home, their gorgeous! 
Oh, she sent candy too, but I ate that already!  It was very good!
