Your love is like a red, red tulip,
I found at Michael's, really cheap.. ( 9 cents)
I sorely wanted live ones,
But the price was way too steep!
The plates and bowls from Horchow
By way of TJMAXX,
The swirly candles so pretty..
Of course they're made of wax!
The inspiration from the placemat,
From Pier One and made of felt..
On sale for a dollar fifty,
That's not a lot of gelt!
Those pretty heart shape dishes
A bread plate with no dents..
I think I bought a boat load
Each was 40 cents..
Lions head bowl with the tulips.
Is a covered soup tureen ..
It is made in France by Apilco,
At a price that was supreme! ($13)
Wine stems are from Pfaltzgraff
Flutes by Luminarc..
Napkin rings from Dollar Tree
Where it's always hard to park. :)
Deep red cloth is underneath,
Snowy white on top,
I think I am about finished,
You're begging me to stop! :)
Please join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for the other entries...Thank you , Susan...
Don't forget Laurie's party on the 11th..I hope I find my ♥ bin by then!
See you for Foodie Friday..thanks for visiting..

Heehe Kathleen,
Let me be the first to comment. Your comments left me laughing! Hubby will have to eat on a tv tray until Sat. Ha! I worked too hard to tear it apart and start over. Your table is gorgeous, I have to say we do have very similar tastes! Probably why I always love your tables! hehe. I am jealous of those red goblets, I have been looking for some, but all I find are gothic looking ones! Have a great week my friend, Cindy
Now THAT'S a Valentine table. You're amazing, Kathleen, and quite a poet. I love red and white any time of year.
Ha, ha. Well done. No don't stop. Your table is so pretty. I love the placemats. I have never seen any like that but it gives me ideas.
So CHEERFUL and crisp Kathleen! You are soo funny (and talented.) :D
Very nicely done!
She's a poet
I did not know it
Your table is beautiful! Love the way you layered the napkins! I also love the red stemware. I have been keeping my eye for some, but have not lucked upon any yet. Now what are you serving on this lovely table?
Ok, I almost missed the Ground Hog and I am so glad I didn't. That just had me rolling on the floor. So cute. I needed a good laugh, and this definitely filled the bill. My DH got a squeal out of it too.
Now for the Valentine's Tablescape. I just love it all. Everything is just beautiful. I love the placemats, cute, cute, cute. Your poem is just perfect. That is a talent I certainly don't have, but I loved yours.
Both of these posts are just the best. Thanks a bunch. Hugs, Marty
You should really go into the resale business:) So pretty K!!!!I saw placemats like yours.. 2 for $25.00 here in MTL..a different pattern..not Valentines!!!
You are my favorite poet :) What a gorgeous table but I was anxiously scrolling to read your prose I had to go back and look at the photos a second time. I love the placemats and all the beautiful reds. Those plates are still my favorites of yours along with the lavender ones from Marigene.
Can't wait to see more valentine inspiration from you in the week ahead!
Oops, I take that back about only those two being my favorites - I just saw the red polka dots in your header photo and they are also favs! Gorgeous!
You are so funny...and you find much better bargains than I do! Your table looks beautiful!

Oh, this is such a cute post, Kathleen, you had me laughing. But I do love all of your bargains. Your table decorations are SO cute and fun. Great job again!!! :-)

So cute! Really could go for the red and white polka dots!
That was just too cute! Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments - you always are the sweetest!
Oy, you are the shopper supreme :)
Beautiful table, Kathleen!
Too cute and beautiful and all at the same time!!! God Bless!!! Cathy
One of the best poems ever. Robbie Burns is laughing his head off while spinning in his grave...
Gorgeous Valentine's table. Wish you'd come shop with me...
I am crazy about those plates and placemats. I swear if you have a shopping tour for bargains I will sign up:) Your tables and recipes are always wonderful. Wish you were coming to my blog tea party this week so that you could tweak my table. I am a lacking in the decorating department:)

Kathleen,you must have been a great teacher! So witty! Love your poem - very creative and so is your tablescape! Love the tulips with the white cutwork tablecloth. Everything is so striking! I REALLY like your blog header - gorgeous!

Your table is so cute, I love the beautiful red and white napkins, the hearts, the flowers I just love it all I think because it is light and fun and it looks like you had a good time doing it....
Oh Kathleen, you're a poet and don't know it. LOL!
You are too funny. Great tablescape! Bright and cheerful. Wonder when you got those placemats...
Actually, I love those butter dishes. And if you got a boat load, maybe you need to unload a few?? One can always hope.

Ummm...have I touched those dishes before? Your table is really beautiful. The roses look great in the soup tureen...love the little heart bread plates.
Wow, what a beautiful table. I love this. Love how you set it...love the red and white, the napkins, the glasses...you did an amazing job! WOW!
Blessings,
Debbie
This table is dressed for the holiday! It just looks like it is ready for a party. Gorgeous.

Love your red heart placemats!!!

Kathleen, you are sooo multi talented..and it's always fun to
'Stay Tuned' till your next show...lol
This is such a pretty Valentine table. I like how you layered your tablecloth and napkins.
I remembered how much I loved those dishes when you first showed them...I'm sure you must be so tired of them by now...
I'll be more than happy to take them off your hands... :)
My Mom has the same place mats from Pier I, they are adorable!!~
Love those dishes! The poem is great! You are so talented! Very pretty tablescape!
Katherine
Love your red and white table! It's beautiful!
I love the red too! Beautiful table...flatware, dishes, everything!!
Hi: Thought I would stop by and visit, and I am so glad I did. Love your blog. The pictures are fabulous. Will be back soon and thanks so much for sharing. Cheers, Lia
You amaze me with your tablescapes. This is beautiful and does say Valentines Day. Love, love those dishes and such cute placemats. Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed weekend.
Sandy
Beautiful table - LOVED the poem!!!! I am envious of those placemats!!!
Oh how cute!
And your poem's a hoot!
Really this all so darling and fun - truly a great mixture of valentine's fun on your table.
Kathleen, a thoroughly enjoyable post and poem, and a lovely Valentine tablescape. I LOVE the felt placemats and have always admired the Horchow plates. I look forward seeing more Valentine's tables.
Kathleen...your poem is terribly funny, lol!! I love this Valentine's table. The dishes are great (I love TJMAXX) and all the pieces really work together to make a very lovely table!
Blessings!
Gail
Oh my, Kathleen, I have to say
Your table is a joy.
It's all decked out as fancy as
Little Lord Fauntleroy.
My favs will always be the plates,
Cause they're so sharp, I reckon.
Still, I'd say that the tablecloth
Comes in a very close second.
But the thing that really Burns me,
(Yes, the pun's intended.)
Is the steal on the soup tureen.
That price was really splendid.
Very festive. The plaid dishes are beautiful. The best part is you can use them for Christmas too. Love the bargains.
I needed the giggle today and your table is just lovely! Thank you
xoxo Pattie
Kathleen
haha! Great post...I've been a lazy poster ...what a becoming table!
Your valentine table is gorgeous! Just how I like valentine tables to look!
To answer your question. Clowns are ok as long as they are not right in my face. But my mothers said as a child...I hated them!
Beautiful red table and that's no fable!
What a fun post! Love your poetry and your tablescape! If you haven't found your V'tine decor, I don't think you need to keep looking. You've got it all here on tablescapes. (Love your header with the polka dot runners). Those little heart butter dishes are so cute, and I do love this china. If my china pantry wasn't overflowing, I'd be looking for some of that china. Actually, I may look for some and store it under the bed. laurie
Your table is so pretty. The poem...LOL!
Oh, I love your creative spirit. Great job! You set a beautiful table and were most clever in presenting it all. I have a set of the red checked dishes, but I'm looking for some red polka dot dishes like you show in your header. Who makes those?
It was such fun to visit your blog, Kathleen. Thanks for sharing!
This is an amazing table, K.
I just love everything about it.
Sorry I've not been around all that much but I DID come visit your groundhog!! :O)
Kathleen....this was just priceless...as it gets closer to V-Day I have to add your link to my blog because everyone needs to see this one...it was great...you are very much the poet!!
Kathleen, I'm glad to see you having fun with it, girl. You did a fantastic job.
Every thing is just adorable. I especially like the poem. Don't worry about apologizing to Robert Burns...I'm related to him on my Dad's side!
Hi!
To answer your question - my pastel striped napkins aren't round, they are large 12" square, folded once, then fold like a fan (the bottom folded again and stuck down into the nut cups!)
Thanks for your comment!
Katherine
I'm going through old posts of yours and I promise not to fill your in box with comments I make on all your posts but I had to say "You sure do find some great bargins".
I would love to find some of those silver heart plates and those platemats are so cute! You are one lucky lady!
Hugs,
Joanne
