Be Mine, Valentine!

This is a traditional red and white valentines tablescape.  I started with a white tablecloth draped with a shimmering red netting in the center of the table.  I used my champagne bucket with red silk roses.  On each side, are crystal candleholders with tall red candles. 

The place setting consists of red chargers (Bed, Bath & Beyond), white china trimmed with gold (Noritake Richmond) and cherub salad plates (antique store).  I used a basic white damask with brass napkin rings (Trash to Treasure Sale). 

I have to tell the story behind the gold trim drinking glasses.  A couple of years ago, my son and nephew, who were about 12 and 13 at the time, were messing around some old junk cars at my dad's shop.  They found a set of these glasses still in the box in the trunk.  Being such good boys, they thought of me!  They knew I like dishes and glassware and enjoyed tablecaping, so they wrapped them up and gave them to me for Christmas that year!  How sweet and thoughtful!  The wine glasses are Mikasa "The Ritz."  The gold plated flatware was a garage sale find.

And, of course, don't forget the candlelight!
