A Valentines Dinner with Transferware

Just finished our first annual Valentines dinner with out kids and grands ... so much fun.  I set two tables and made place card holders.  Of course the Dollar Store came in handy making the place card holders, ala, a sugared heart gum drop for a base, and a heart pick (7 for a dollar), which I sawed a grove into the top with a steak knife, before adding the cute cards made from a graphic that I found at Graphics Fairy.  I thought it looked rather like toile, and I always love how toile looks with transferware.

 Table number one is above, and table number two is to the right and below.  I used  my red transferware dishes collection for the first time ever.  That was a lot of fun, I paired them with my creamy white Rosepoint dishes, which I adore.  Thanks Julie.  The romantic lovers sculpture, from my bedroom, took over center stage, as you see.
