Pink buds and Pussy Willow

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.

Warming my Heart and Home

Shopping today, I found something that warmed my heart on this COLD day of 15 degrees in Tennessee.  So I brought it home. 
 
This bouquet of tulips not only warmed my heart but warmed my home.  The color got my attention.  I don't know if you can tell in this photo, but they are a burnt orange, almost rust - a perfect compliment to my kitchen.
 
 
 
The Bottom plate is:
Gourmet Expressions in Great Room Cream
 
Center Plate is made by Royal Stafford
that I picked up at Home Goods
 
The tiny top plate is:
Martillo in Crème Brulee from Pier One
 
The tulip - designed and created by God.
 
 
 
 
In the photo above and below, I traded the two top plates for the salad plate that is supposed to be paired with the bottom plate.  I don't know if I have a preference.  They each have their own personality.
