Non-Traditional Valentine Table!

I am not big on Valentine's Day decorations or china. I am doing my version of a Valentine's table...yes it does include a little bit of green!



The starting point of this table were the linens. Yes, they could be used for Christmas, too...you all know by now that I dance to my own tune!




The dishes start with a bright red overly large dinner plate, that I am using for the charger. A white dinner plate, red and white salad plate and red soup bowl round out the placesetting. 



The flatware is Oneida Louisiana.



The glassware dark red stems Cris d'Arques Antique.





A couple red mercury glass type candle holders with red candles and a mercury glass stemmed candle holder make up the centerpiece. I was going to do this table last week and had some gorgeous Gerbera daisies for the centerpiece, but this week they don't look so good, so just used candles!



Thanks for taking the time to visit today...come back next time. Happy Valentine's!
