Vintage Hankies on a Valentine’s Day Tablescape

This is a variation of a Valentine’s Day Tablescape that I did in 2019 before I started blogging. I added a few things and subtracted a few others. I bought the red polyester tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago.

Valentine’s Day Red Hearts Salad Plate

This is my favorite Valentine’s Day salad plate, I just love the red hearts stacked on top of each other. It was made by Bordallo Pinheiro and I bought them over several years one at a time as I saw them on Ebay. They are hardly ever available for purchase anywhere. I was lucky to find them!

I have an extra plate on this plate stack because I wanted another white plate between the two red plates. I bought this white plate at Crate and Barrel several years ago. It is labeled paola navone made in portugal and the pattern was called Riviera. Crate and Barrel called it a dessert plate. It is a thick plate and I like the curling design on the lip.

Valentine’s Day Red Hearts Dinner Plate

This red hearts dinner plate or large salad plate was also made by Bordallo Pinheiro. I bought them several years ago a few at a time on Ebay also. I love the lip design on this plate too, all those tiny raised hearts. I have this same plate with small stars instead of hearts and I often use them on my 4th of July tablescapes. I try to use this red hearts plate on a tablescape at least once every February.

Valentine’s Day Charger Plate

This large white dinner plate or charger is the same pattern as the white salad plate on this plate stack. I bought them at Crate and Barrel several years ago when I bought the salad plates. It is labeled paola navone made in portugal and the pattern was called Riviera. It is a thick heavy plate. The lip design looks like hearts to me so it is the perfect charger for this Valentine’s Day tablescape.

Vintage Valentine’s Day Hankies

I was planning a talk to a women’s group about my vintage hankie collection at the same time that I was planning this tablescape. I suddenly realized that I could use my larger vintage Valentine’s Day hankies as placemats on this tablescape. I really love the way they look on this table setting. If you read my blog you have read other posts about my vintage hankie collections. You can read two blog posts that I have written about them here and here.

Vintage Valentine’s Day Hankie Placemats

I have dozens and dozens of Valentine’s hankies, I can’t believe how many different patterns there are.

I really wanted to use a different flatware pattern on this table because I have used this frosted white flatware set on three of my last five tablescapes but this set looked the best on this tablescape so here it is again! I bought this frosted white flatware on sale online at Wayfair a few years ago, it was made by Cambridge. It is 18/0 so the fork tines are a bit sharper than I would like but I really like the frosted white color. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

Valentine’s Day Napkins

These white cotton napkins with red hearts came from Pier 1 several years ago before our store closed. I found the red metal heart napkin rings on Amazon a few years ago. When the napkins have a busier pattern I like to use simple solid color napkin rings with them.

I bought these small red plastic heart placecard holders on Amazon a few years ago. I like the simple heart design. You can read my blog post about how to store napkin rings and place card holders here.

I am using my Waterford Marquis red Brookside goblets and iced teas on this Valentine’s Day tablescape. I found them at HomeGoods several years ago. I really love this glassware. It is heavy, well made, and a true red color. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets here.

I saw this red heart cardboard box online at Target a couple years ago and I quickly bought it and a smaller size too before they sold out because I knew it would be the perfect size for a Valentine’s Day tablescape centerpiece. For this tablescape I added a bit of ribbon to it that I found on Amazon. The heart is sitting on a white drink dispenser stand that I bought at Pottery Barn several years ago. I placed another vintage Valentine hankie under the stand.

I have had the small red heart metal wreath that is hanging on the hutch for many years, I can’t remember where it came from. I placed the word love made out of wood on the hutch as well. I can’t remember where I bought it but it might have been Hobby Lobby. It was unfinished but Hubby painted it red for me.

Mosser Red Glassware

I love red glassware so I decided to add a Mosser red glass salt and pepper set to the table. I bought this set online at The Vermont Country Store last year. The Mosser Glass Company was established in 1971 and it is located in Cambridge, Ohio. They sell high quality American made glassware and I love their products. I have a few sets of their goblets and a few cake stands and if you read my blog you have seen the goblets on some of my tablescapes. You can see photos of one of the green Mosser goblets that I own here.

To balance the table I placed a small red glass vase on the other side of the centerpiece. I like how it complements the red goblets. I can’t remember where it came from.

We took a photo from above so you could see the table settings more clearly.
