Very delightful, and the birdcage with the cardinal is my favorite part. The rose on each plate, and a candle by each, is really appealing to me.
Nice job, Frou! hugs, Karen |

I think you pulled it off very well. It's lovely!!
The little bird cage is tooo cute. I like the flatware to,adds character. :)
I need to get started putting together some idea of what I'm going to do but haven't made it that far yet.. lol
I noticed you got a fair amount of snow as well. We're still covered to, but it's far better than the ice and being without power we had last year at this time.

| The birdcage is the "bestest" find but I love it all and IMO the cherry tablecloth gives it a nice cottage touch. Besides chocolate covered cherries are somewhat romantic, aren't they? Could be part of the menu! :-) |

For a table that was just 'thrown together'..you did a lovely job, with all the right touches.
I like your flatware and love that vintage table cloth.
Cute idea for your centerpiect too! jane |

| Lovely!! I think the white touches on the table bring the outside snowy scene inside! The red is perfect, too much overwhelms. The white & silver tone it down perfectly!! Nice job!! Jan |

| This V-table is so CUTE! Love the cherry vintage tablecloth & also the white crocheted placemats. Using old & new dishes works well here...and I like the details...using repetition of foil candies on the salad plates to go with the pattern of coffee cups...the ruffle-y edges of the candlesticks to go with ruffle-y edges of crocheted mats! And the birdcage looks great! Everything looks very Valentine-yyy! TFS! Jeanne S. |

| That pretty tablecloth fits right in with your red/white scheme. You put it all together just great. I am so "jealous" that you could just stop to "treasure shop" and come out with that fantastic birdcage, the pretty cardinals, roses, and even rose petals and just the right cups for your theme! I take it that you already had the Love sign, nice white flatware and those great textured red napkins on hand. It all goes together perfectly, good job. Luvs |

| I love your table and think the tablecloth is perfect! I'm always amazed at the wonderful things ya'll find thrifting. The TS store where I live rarely has any good stuff. |

Thanks ya'll. I was lucky my TS had such a good selection of Vday decs. The birdcage was black and I painted it white and 2 days later they had a red one for a $1.00. Milosmom, we still have snow on the ground, we had about 4 inches over a layer of sleet and ice. That's a lot for us. Glad everyone liked the tablecloth, I should have done a President's Day table ( you know George W.). Luvs, I got that flatware at the DS, it's our everyday. We are wierd, DH and I both like the feel of the big plastic handles, guess it's what you get used to. Also, I used my new camera for the pix and I had fewer blurry pix, I still am learning to use it.

Syble :
I'll send you some more snow down if you'd like.. LOL
I'm almost to the Missouri state line and I think they said the "official" total up here was 9 or so inches on top of the sleet/ice layer but we're on the hill and had 11.
Upon seeing the weather this morning, I guess we're gonna get wet and good grief I hope that mess doesn't freeze.

What a pretty table! I like that you used your crocheted placemats over the tablecloth. It looks nice that way. Your birdcage is cute, but my VERY favorite is your vintage tablecloth. I LOVE it!! I don't know if it's because I'm from Michigan originally, which is the cherry capitol of the country, but I adore things that have cherries on them, especially table linens. Very nice table, Syble!
