| After seeing all your lovely Valentine decorations
and tables, you all inspired me to do a table too. I really don't have many Valentine Decorations to decorate with..so I did the best I could with what I have. This little sweetie was a gift from our
Stemware - CTS - Glass Candleholders TS finds.
For a splash of color, I added a Red Scarf as a runner.
The Large Red Plate is 'Country Living' - on sale 2 yrs ago from Kmart. The Red Check plate - TJM - 'Queen's EST 1795'
I found this little cupid last Summer at a Flea Mkt for $1.
'Wannabe' Candy Shot!
Thanks for looking.

| slinkey jane...I am happy that the 'Holiday-ers' here motivated you! ...this is such a lovely t'scape for Val-day month! Adding the red scarf to your lacey t'cloth sure did add a 'splash!' & that angel from our Enabler friend looks so serene up on that pedestal w/the pearls, roses & candlelight! Ahhhh...so romantic for Val-day! Love the pretty edged white napkin inside the red ...w/rose holder...lovely!!! As is the glassware, flatware & of course, the exceptional stacking of each place-setting. Dessert bowls are exquisite on this table! And I love your lil' 'shushing' angel! "Everything's coming up roses" here! Sweet! TFS! Jeanne S. |

| Jane, My, oh, my. Your table is exquisite! You know what I like best? It's the fact that it's so elegant, yet so warm and inviting at the same time. Not tooooo frilly, but very "valentines-y" just the same. I just read about Heirloom White spray the other day. I'm very intrigued and will have to get myself a can or two. Nice job with the layers. I like the tiny string pearls too. |

| Jane, another one of your gorgeous tables here. Love all the red and white on this table. Your layered dishes and all your candles are so pretty. Those little red heart boxes are darling to top it off. Both cherubs are the sweetest looking little ones. I remember Karen sending you that one. Looks great with the new paint job. Made a sweet cp sitting on a bed of red rose petals up on a pedestal. Napkins are pretty and an added rose, Nice. Adding the red scarf down the center with the roses and pearls really added to this table. So happy you was inspired and set a table to share. Punk |

| Jane, what an absolutely GORGEOUS table! The reading Cherub looks quite happy there. I am a fan of the Heirloom white paint myself, after reading what a hit it was over in blogland last year. (along with oil-rubbed bronze, another great spray paint). My little Reader sits by my Dad's photo as he always read to me as a child and inspired my love of books. Your shushing cherub is darling too. But wait a minute....how the heck did I become a #1 Enabler? There is plenty of "competition" here for that title. LOL. So glad you set this table and shared it with us, I wouldn't have wanted to miss out seeing such a pretty display. |

| Jane, this table is so beautiful!! I love everything about it. You found the perfect plates to use, they go together beautifully. I've really fallen in love with cherubs in the past year and yours are adorable. The red scarf and roses intertwined with pearls is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this elegant and romantic table. Nana |

| Thank you everyone. I enjoyed reading all your comments. Jeanne...I was trying to figure out what to use for a OA...'elegant, yet so warm and inviting at the same time. Not tooooo frilly, but very "valentines-y" just the same.' Punk..you and some other 'enablers' here have really inspired me with all your lovely tables and decorations. Karen...'You' not an enabler - ... HA! Nana...I got hooked on cherubs from some of our 'Friendly Enablers' here. I keep a few out all year. Thanks again ladies for all your lovely comments. jane |

| OMG, Jane, it is absolutely *PERFECT*!!! Just wonderful -- every touch of it. And I've always been a sucker for pearls. :) PS: those little red heart boxes are SO cute! I want to run and check the $ stores around here and see if they might have anything like them! |

| Jane, your last picture of your plates is so pretty, they go together so well and I just love each of the patterns but especially the one on top with the gold touches. The scarf was an inspired idea, so soft and just perfect with the cherubs and pearls. I liked OA's description of "elegant, yet warm and inviting". Perfect! I pulled out a few Valentines things today, kept thinking "I thought I had more than this for Valentine's Day". Duh, the moment I saw your cherubs, I realized I had missed pulling out the box with mine! LOL |
|
| Thank you Creek...so glad you enjoyed this table. I agree about Roses & Pearls - a great combination. Marlene- Thank you - glad you liked my 'little bit' of Valentine decor! PM..Thank you for such sweet comments. Luvs...Thank you! You're too funny, I've done that too...forgetting what decorations I have until I see something here. Thanks again everyone! |

| Jane, this is so beautiful! The eye is automatically drawn to the runner and pearls. Love the plates and goblets too. The cherub looks great, but Karen is furious you sprayed it, LOL, just kidding! A wonderfully romantic table! Great job! |

| LOL, Kathleen....now if she had sprayed it black I might have been a tiny bit furious. ;o) |
|
| Thanks Kathleen..I've been enjoying all your tables too. as far as repainting Karen's cherub... I just wanted to give him a more creamier look! I didn't want her to think I didn't like him 'as is'!! lol Karen..too funny! jane |

| Jane, I was sure I had posted here, but either I forgot to hit submit, or it went to cyberspace land, I don't know what happened. Love it!! A perfect balance of red and white, and the layering, draping, and pearling were done with an artists eye! I especially like the angle shot of the entire table! The cherub looks quite happy with his new "coat" of white. What a lovely gift from a lovely friend. A pearl-fect table! TFS, |
