Welcome to Let's Talk Vintage!
Today I'm sharing my
Valentine's Day Table featuring
my Great Grandmother's china.
I started with a light pink, damask, vintage
tablecloth I purchased at an auction
about ten years ago. I love it and for
occasions like Valentine's Day and Easter,
it is the perfect foundation.
Then I added some white,
elegant cloth placemats.
I was surprised when I tried the red
chargers... they looked so much
better than the gold I had tried earlier.
This sweet pastel pattern is
by Homer Laughlin.
Made in 1948 according to the date
stamped on the back.
Then with matching cloth napkins
and some Dove chocolate hearts...
I also added a little color
by popping them into
the wine glasses too!
While I was looking for things to use
I found these lovely candle rings I
bought at a shop in Cape May
called "Swede Things in America."
Totally forgot about them and was very
happy to use them again!
And what's a Valentine tablescape
without a little bit of romance?
These are dried roses from a bouquet
my dear hubby gave me a few weeks ago.
They were perfect for the setting!
And remember when I was
thinking about making the word "LOVE,"
like this one that I saw in another shop?
Turns out I found them in a local wholesaler's showroom! I've added a new category, here, to
my shop called "Vintage Inspired!"
Along with my current inventory of vintage and antiques, I'm going to be offering home décor
and gifts with a modern day, vintage flair!
Well, enough about me, let's get back to the party.
