Valentine White Out

I thought that an all white table 

for Valentine's Day 

was appropriate with all of this 

cold, 

snowy, 

icy weather 

we are all experiencing.  

I used my favorite 

Battenburg 

lace tablecloth 

and mixed in 

gold, silver and 

antique silver candlesticks. 

The gold napkins set off the One King's Lane plates 

embossed with a crown 

and a Fleur-dis-lis on the charger.  

The gold in the flatware 

from World Market 

compliments the gold tones.  

 I was fortunate enough to have our 

house guest take these photos for me!  

You can see Alex's adorable blog here.

To add texture and shine 

I used my favorite goblets 

passed down in our family 

from my great grandmother.  

What is that I see on the left?  

A hint of color?

Purple tulips in a white ironstone pitcher.  

Not the traditional Valentine 

red rose 

but somehow more wistful this time of year.  

The promise of Spring!  

Tulips have a way of deciding 

where they want to go.  

That's what I love about a 

mass arrangement 

like this.  

No planning, 

just plunk them in the pitcher 

and watch them reach 

towards the sun.

My Angel wings from Decor Steals 

have made an unexpected appearance.  

Dessert and tea are set up on the buffet.  

Perhaps the wings 

are guarding 

dessert from my children!  

  I had a heck of a time 

keeping them out 

of the heart shaped, 

chocolate dipped 

shortbread cookies!

But, truth be known, 

I had a hard time 

resisting them 

myself!

More tulips in Silver this time.  

A Silver tray 

with sugar and creamer 

and the cookies under glass.

Another Decor Steals goody... 

This beautiful carved tray 

that I gilded with gold.  

Delicate tea cups 

and saucers with gold trim 

await tea time.

I picked up these sweet luncheon napkins 

at the 

Mission Road Antique Mall 

last weekend.  

It was an afternoon date with Mr. Beaux.  

Lunch and a stroll through the Antique Mall.  

That's my idea 

of a fun afternoon! 

I have been saving these Limoges dishes 

for a Spring tablescape 

but somehow they managed 

to sneak into this post.

Hungry yet?

Hope you are spending Valentine's Day with those you Love!
Stay Safe and Warm!

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
