We're celebrating a birthday and Valentine's Day at our house this weekend. Since I'd already placed a centerpiece vignette with ironstone and an old pitcher on the dining table, I just added a little more for our family celebration.
I saw these pink buds at Hobby Lobby and they screamed to go home with me. Pink buds and Pussy Willow branches pair up nicely in this old pitcher and then, I remembered I had this heart shaped grapevine wreath to add.
I'm combining two different patterns on straw chargers. I bought them both from an acquaintance who needed the money years ago. I don't know much about them except that I love them both.
Mismatched settings are my favorite. It's just more creative and fun that way. I know ya'll probably agree cause you are the most creative people I know!
At each place setting, I tied a personal tag, each is a little different. The guys are not so fancy and frilly. I used store bought tags that I purchased at Hobby Lobby. I stained the tags with Valspar Mocha Glaze. (you heard that right. I use that stuff for everything.) Then, I stamped a message and added little trinkets to personalize. The pink ruffle on the edge is made from colored raffia. I gathered it on the sewing machine and glued it to the tag.
From the buffet, my faux lady Santos is looking on holding a heart for Valentine's Day I'd like to believe. I hope she likes what she sees.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty dishes, Marsha! I would never have thought they weren't the same pattern. They go so well together! Your table looks lovely. Love the tags. I have a similar Santos, same color but mine is holding something different {since I'm not in that room, I can't tell you what} : ).
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love the tags with the keys - very cool. I like to mix dishes too - make for a much more interesting tablescape.

ReplyDeleteI think I see a smile on her face Marsha. After all, what's not to smile about? Love mismatched settings and the tags are darling! My youngest son's birthday is on Valentines and his oldest son (the one who told me my Hydrangeas were old) will be 4 on the 16th. Great month to be born! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
