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.
