I hope you're doing well. Are you staying warm? We are definitely NOT! It's been pretty cold up here in the Midwest!
Anyway, I hope this Valentine's Tablescape will help warm the heart and lift the spirits! This was easy and fun to put together.
I started with a black tablecloth, and topped it with some valentine's fabric I got at Joann's fabric for the runner.
For the centerpiece, I took out a nice tray piece I got from Goodwill ages ago. I had originally purchased it to use for a mini "s'mores bar", but I haven't gotten around to making that yet. However, I thought this would look nice for a simple centerpiece. The pink candles were also a Goodwill find, as was the red and white flower bowl. Then I filled in the bottom with some sparkly red and pink heart table scatter from the Dollar Store.
Then, on either side of the centerpiece I put these tall glass candleholders from Old Time Pottery I got last year. The white candles and the candy conversation hearts were a fun idea I saw on Pinterest and always wanted to do!
For the other touches, I used a few little snowglobes with Valentine's themes I found at the Dollar store last year, along with these cute pink flower tealight candles from Goodwill.
For the place settings, I used felt placemats from Dollar Tree, Silver chargers from Walmart (Christmas 2012), Dollar Tree white beaded plates and bowl, and a red and white polka-dot plate from Ross last year. The red glasses were a Goodwill find as was the silverware and the white napkins. I sure LOVE Goodwill...can you tell??? haha!
This is one of my favorite pictures of the table with my Monday Monthly Mantle in the background. I love how the living room and dining room are coordinated with the seasons...one of my favorite things about our new home!!

Tablescape Thursday
The table is lovely. I too enjoy finding great items at the thrift store. Love those red glasses!! Your mantel is so pretty also.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! Isn't it so much fun? I try to go a couple times a week....sometimes I find amazing things, sometimes not, but I sure do enjoy searching them out! I hope you had a great Valentine's Day!
DeleteGoodwill is my favorite place to shop! I see you must spend some time "hunting" at Goodwill too with all of your wonderful finds. Your tablescape is lovely and mantle in the background makes a perfect background for your romantic table.
ReplyDeleteHi Candy! It's definitely mine, too. In fact, I have a hard time paying full price for anything anymore, because I just get used to the great prices at Goodwill and other thrift stores! Thanks so much for stopping by and for the nice compliments! =)
DeleteIndeed you've just GOTTA love Goodwill! It's the source of so many great design elements! I'm not nearly as good as a lot of you ladies out there in Blog Land when it comes to finding great stuff at thrift stores, but I sure like the hunt just the same!
ReplyDeleteThe candy conversation hearts are a super cute idea and, without question, a great conversation starter!
Enjoy your Valentine's Day!
Thanks Alycia! The hunt is such a fun part for me. You just never know what you're going to find, and I love that! My husband doesn't always love my shopping trips, but when he asks how much I've spent and he sees how much I got for so little, he can't be too upset....haha! =) Thanks for your sweet comment and for visiting! Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
DeleteWhat a pretty, festive table! I love those tall candleholders with the conversation hearts! I know your family will enjoy dining at the special table you set for them!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tricia! It was a lot of fun to put together! Hope you have a great day! =D
DeleteWith me, it is a toss up between Goodwill and Dollar Tree! I love a bargain. Your table doesn't look like a bargain table, though. It is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss Merry! It is truly amazing how much great stuff is at both Goodwill and Dollar Tree! It's always fun to visit both! =D Thanks so much for stopping by for a look! Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteA darling Valentine tablescape! Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Patricia! Hope you had a great Valentines' Day!!
DeleteWow you are a good shopper -- just look at what you did! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Scribbler! I really appreciate that! So glad you stopped by! =D
DeleteYou certainly scored big time at the thrift store. I love you runner for the fabric is perfect with all the hearts. Your new red etched goblets are so lovely with your place setting. The pop of dot dishes is a great accent! Hope you will take a peek at my Valentine's red and white table for you might enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHave a grand 14th!
Pam
Thank you so much Pam! I had the chance to check out your table too and I LOVE it! Those red and white striped tea pots were a wonderful find and you really put a lovely table together! So glad you commented and invited me to check it out! It looks wonderful! Have a great weekend!!! =)
DeleteWhat a wonderful table you've created! I love your use of conversation hearts in your candle holder. I wish I had done that in mine! Your table is perfect with your polka dot plates, chargers and placemats. Your home is absolutely lovely, and you're right about how nice it is that the mantle and dining area can coordinate. Well Done! Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Rosie! I appreciate that! It is one of my favorite aspects of our new home....I've always wanted to decorate the living and dining room together! Thanks so much for your nice comments and for coming by to check out this post! Hope to see you again soon! =)
DeleteYou created a very pretty table for Valentine's. i do adore the conversation hearts with the candle holder. You can't go wrong with red or pink. Isn't it great to find a bargain. The table looks so romantic, yet fun.
