| RED, WHITE & HEARTS. Reba is super busy this week with work so I am going to provide the text for this St. Valentine's table she made which she has been wanting to post. What is funny is that Reba and I didn't talk about our Valentine's Day tables, but we both went for traditional this year. Above, Reba began with a white tablecloth and then placed red circular felt place mats as chargers for her white china. The placemats are from Target. Reba also used vintage red Italian cut crystal champagne goblets that belonged to our great Aunt and Waterford Millenium clear crystal water goblets that belong to our mother. Reba borrowed the Waterford Millenium goblets because they have hearts in them. Reba's sterling flatware is Towle Old Master. |

| CLOSE UP OF THE HEARTS. Reba tried to capture the heart design in the Waterford water goblets in the above picture. In person, you can see the design very easily, but the camera's flash makes it harder to capture in a photo. |
 |
| RED HEART PLACEMAT. Reba bought these red felt placemats from Target, but someone could easily make them as a craft. Reba suggested using felt and cutting out the heart designs with scissors. I wondered how these would come out from foam board with a heart hole punch. I think it would be faster to make that way, although felt might be worth the extra effort because it is a more natural material. |
 |
| RED GIFT FOR A LOVED ONE. The table is set for two. Reba used red glittery gift boxes with red shear ribbon as the focal point of the place setting. She also put out her crystal bird figurines to represent love birds. |
 |
| RED LONG STEM ROSES FOR PASSION. Reba chose traditional red roses in a cut crystal vase for the table. Red Roses mean "I love you" and represent a romantic, ardent love. In case you didn't know, many people associate meanings to different flowers. A centerpiece of daisies sends an entirely different message than one of red roses. While no one has to stick to the rules, if you are curious as to what your flower centerpiece or bouquet could mean, a detailed list of flower meanings can be found HERE |
