A real Valentine's Day

Hello everybody Happy Valentine's Day to to all of you. I went to my storage unit and just bought about eight tubs back so I can play with my dishes


I made two versions of the plate stack one with white chargers one with red. I picked up the small white chargers that match my large snowflake ones and found them at the store I now work in. that was an amazing adventure and now I am employed at two jobs, living rent free, caring for someone who really needs me.





I created a different version of chocolates and hearts and used a red and white dotted block message of BAKE   I found at Michael's I added stars a red feather boa for a little glamangels and cupids


and candle lite



                                               Here is the full table lighting is so horrible in this space


this little angel is holding her heart in her hand draped in pearls on a little red cake plate I grabbed up at half price at Hobby Lobby last week




I made these great Bake in wood letters. Have you seen the variety of letters out there and the ideas of what you can do  with them? AMAZING !!!!and when I get my stuff out and get to re do my hutch it is going to be all red polka dotted so that is why  I went with the Bake





Ooh I have to tell you these are my very first Waterford Crystal goblets in red I just purchased on line are they not spectacular?

Cliff came out of the hospital and when he saw this on his table he said that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen boy did that make me feel like doing my Happy Dance.





Here is the second set of stack I made one with red hearts and chargers and small white snowflakes and the second one I joined my white snowflake chargers .i found these at the store next to the restaurant that I am now the Pastry Chef at I purchased the large ones at Ikea but never saw the small ones before. I am so happy to be able to play with my own stuff again. Life is really turning around for me and everyday I wake with gratitude for what I will experience every day. I am adjusting to my new life. the changes are all so new  and very rewarding.

I love this little one that sits on the side of a jar or vase or wherever I put him. don't you love the little but?


and this one is pondering what to think about.I 'm thinking about joining  Susan at Between Naps on the Porch ,Funky Junk Interiors and Join the Scoop.Hang out with us we are an awesome group of wildly creative loving caring women who give to others like I have never seen before. Have a wonderful week and pray for anyone who needs it and LOVE Always.Susie

this one is praying(I need this one)

    1. Thank you but yours is marvelous. You know what, I just realized that you used 2 of the Ikea white chargers in your stack. What a clever idea and it looks fantastic. My IKEA does carry both sizes. I think they are so pretty. I used white for last Easter, that I will post this year, since I didn't blog at that time. I painted some black and used them for my Halloween, Day of the Dead tablescape. I hope you have a happy weekend. Bless you, Valeirie

  6. Susie, this table is so festive. I LOVE your new Waterford stems. The red checked napkins are a perfect touch, and of course, the cherubs are so sweet. What a great buy you got on that nice cake stand. I liked both plate stacks, but I love the two snowflake chargers. I'm so happy that you linked this to my party.
