Valentine for One Tablescape

Valentine table for one??? Contradiction? Misnomer? Paradox? I say, "Why not?" Do what makes you happy......and "playing with dishes" and setting a nice table makes us happy. So, Pat set a traditional Valentine's Day table this week using a gorgeous red vase she bought recently as the inspiration piece.

The place setting

Flatware is "Grand Colonial" by Wallace

Sorry for a rather dark picture.  But...Yes!!!.....we are grateful for the rainy, dark, dreary weather. It means water. And water means no rationing. (Remember, we live in California where we are going through the worst drought in history.)

Pat used this cute heart shaped plate as the bread and butter plate

Salt and pepper in tiny salt cellars
