A Valentine's Day Tablescape — Whispers of the Heart

When I saw this buffalo plaid and red heart tablecloth on Amazon last week I decided to create a Valentine’s Day tablescape using it. I love using solid bold colors on table settings sometimes. The combination creates a strikingly strong image.

This red melamine heart came from Crate and Barrel last year or the year before. I love the true red color.

Ralph Lauren White Porcelain Dinner Plate

These simple white porcelain dinner plates were made by Ralph Lauren and I found them at HomeGoods several years ago when I first started tablescaping. You definitely need a simple white dinner plate in your tablescaping collection. You can read about what you need to think about when you are buying dinner plates here.

Charge it by Jay Black Glass Starburst Charger

This black glass Starburst charger is called Charge It and was made by Jay. I bought them several years ago on Amazon. They are heavy glass and work well with many different color schemes. A black charger with a simple design is a good starter charger plate if you are thinking about starting a tablescaping hobby.

Lenox Portola Black Flatware

If you read my blog you saw this black flatware set on my Cats tablescape last week. I wanted another set of black flatware that was all black and different from my Ginkgo International LePrix set to use on my Halloween tablescapes this past year and I found this set on sale at Macy’s online. It was made by Lenox and the pattern is called Portola. I love the simple design and the shiny black color. I suspect this set will get a lot of use. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I am not sure where I found these red metal heart napkin rings but I love the bold red color. These black cotton napkins came from Crate and Barrel a few years ago. The pattern was called Fete. They are a really nice cotton fabric and I love the dark black color. So often black is really a darker washed out gray color.

When these place card holders came, they were a dark bronze color but Hubby painted them black for me. He thinks they will end up red eventually and he may be right! They aren’t labeled. I like the different shape of the heart. I found them on Poshmark for a really good price last year. To read about the What, Where and When of place card holders, please click here.

I think these red glass goblets came from Crate and Barrel a couple years ago. I had been looking for some simple red goblets and grabbed these when I saw them online. Now I wish I had ordered more of them. The goblet on the right with the black bowl and clear stem was made by Classic Touch and it is called V-Shaped Water Glass, Black With Clear Stem. I bought them at Houzz online a couple years ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the goblet colors that I use the most often here.

I found this red hearts sculpture at HomeGoods a few weeks ago. It was natural wood but Hubby painted it red for me. It is sitting on a wood stand that I bought at Pier 1 a few years ago. The stand was a natural wood color but Hubby painted it white for me to use on one tablescape and then black for a few other tablescapes.

Mosser Glass Red Salt and Pepper Set

I decided to add a Mosser Glass red salt and pepper set to this Valentine’s Day tablescape. 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 too. If you read my blog you have seen their goblets on some of my tablescapes.

Mosser Glass White Salt and Pepper Set

I wanted another simple white salt and pepper set so I bought this Mosser white salt and pepper set at Everything Kitchens online a few months ago.
