Somehow, I just ran out of time and didn't get to post
my VALENTINE tablescape for my dinner with MR. SWEET NOTHINGS...
so please just 'play-like' it's still VALENTINE'S NIGHT.....
*
We always love our BLACKBERRY WINE with our evening meal...
just one wine glass full and that's all....
*
Red plates, Walmart
Red flatware, Target
Red and white placemats and napkins , TJMAXX
The cake stand is vintage and belonged to my mother...
*
LOVE DOVES and PEARLS
for our centerpiece
*

A very simple meal of
GRILLED BUTTERFLY PORK CHOPS
CREAMY, BUTTERY MASHED POTATOES
BROCCOLI
GARLIC BUNS
*

FRESH, RED, RIPE AND SWEET STRAWBERRIES
go so well with our favorite wine...

I know all the other ladies and gents that signed up to do
TABLESCAPE THURSDAY
have some wonderful tables to share with you....
XO bj

Oh BJness! Boo you? No, way, honey. We're booing Ashley Judd, remember? lol I love your Valentine's table. It's just beautiful! Love all the lovely red! Those little white love birds are just perfect. Yum, I love me some butterfly pork chops. I can almost taste them. Now, BJness, I must tell you, I'm so thankful you did not serve any buttermilk. I hate that stuff! lol I came back and saw where you added my idiotic comment about the buttermilk. I am crazy you know! lol
You are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

I love your tablescape. You got the flatware at Target? Hmm I have seen those there. Maybe I should go back and get them. I want to gradually add red things to my kitchen. Happy Thursday!

Why would we boo and hiss a beautiful tablescape? A beautiful table is a beautiful table no matter what the theme or time of year and yours is a beautiful table! This is very romantic! The doves are a perfect touch!
Have a fabulous weekend!
