This Valentines we added another leaf, chair, and setting to our table. Or littlest guy has now outgrown his high chair and is ready to join our family table.
Started with an old sheer blanket that has been in our family for some time which I believe has always been used as a table cloth.
It is a bit worn with age now, but the pattern is still one of the prettiest I have ever seen. And these photos do not show its full beauty.
For a centerpiece, roses I made years ago from cold porcelain,
on a cake plate with rose petals, candles and budding twigs.
This year I stumbled across these plates in a second hand shop and just fell in love with them.
With this marking on the back (which I can't read).
Under that plate which we will use as our bead plate, I have a petal plate for our salad plate, a plain white plate on top of a charger for our dinner plate.
For our littlest guy I set a fun plastic plate atop of some of our sturdier plates.
Once the candles are lit and everyone is called to the table, I set the bread plates in their proper place,
And the napkins atop the plates.
A side tray for our water pitcher.
The plates are stacked and ready for dinner time.

Very pretty, and fun for the whole family-enjoy:@)
This is absolutely lovely and even though I've never had a tablescape like this in my life, it's making me a bit nostalgic. Now I want to go buy those tiny cheap children's valentines you get at the drugstore and a bag of candy hearts with messages on them. Just 'cause.
I so enjoyed your creative shots of the elements of this table. Your selection of plates is lovely, especially the delicate one with the peach blossoms. I like your idea of putting the flatware in a container.
Thanks for hosting the Valentine Party. I've linked up with last year's Valentine tablescape. May I come back and link another that I plan to do for this year?

your photos are so amazing. I love your dishes and the bread plates are so perfect with the table. the tablecloth is really quite pretty.
It was a treat wandering though your Valentine tablescape post! I loved your creative photos and your sense of family. Creating a special place for the toddler is so sweet and will make a lasting impression of the child. I am new to blogging and have a lot to learn.
The 'tablecloth' is spectacular. The whole vignette reads for me like a beautiful watercolor painting. So well done. Thank you for sharing your lovely design. Cherry Kay
So cute -- baby bear is growing up!
