weak version of Valentines Day



 Okay ladies bear with me here with my pictures. I made the floral arrangement, took great photos both from day and at night  with candlelight going looked really nice. then I downloaded to computer and they got erased from the camera HUH? so when I went to post this the flowers were on their last leg I mean dying and wilted and looked like crap so I tried to recapture the flowers and downloaded from phone so maybe the phones pics are better.



He has camelias blooming like crazy a couple of azaleas and some roses my sister in law picked up for me

So remember I have very limited supplies only what I bought with me to decorate my room

 



 I picked up the chargers at Michaels at buy one get one free sale I like sales like that.

Here is a pic of the table.okay the man has exactly three different dishes they are not sets he had only two of these plates


So I added a bag of hearts from dollar tree, made some cinnamon hearts to help the space smell better, my rosebud napkins, and rosebud napkin rings




Here the flowers don't look dead yet must be camera from phone photos




And yes I did iron the tablecloth but it still looks kinda pretty
 

 I don't know why he has two (pink depression Glass) cups but I grabbed them up to use. His name is Cliff and he said how nice his table looks again it hasn't been decorated for 40 years and he informed me go thru cubbards and closets and use whatever you can find.OKAY


 I don't know what kind of flowers these are only that they are pink and soft and very pretty



Well it's not the greatest Valentines Day table but I am really trying with what I got to make it work.
