Fabby: HAPPY VALENTINE'S!!

Hi my sweet friends!  I'm back home from almost a week of visiting our grandgirls at our daughter Sofia and SIL's new house.  This trip will be a next post, right now all I want is to wish everyone of you a HAPPY VALENTINE'S filled with lots of love! 
Tomorrow we'll be having dinner by candle light, the two of us in this table, with some Chinese take out hubby loves!  The soup bowls are perfect for some wanton soup with veggies.  We'll see about the rest of the menu, lol...
 I did my third Valentine's table for February 14, 2012...on my vintage French, with Carrara marble top table, in the foyer, or receiver and flanked by our two French stripped chairs.


 The red stems are vintage and they belonged to my MIL.
My red chargers with vintage doilies from Belgium.

 The dinner plate is from my fine china set. I like to mix and match colors like red and black.
 The red plate is from a set of four dinner and mug plates...they're made in Ecuador.
The heart soup bowls I bought while visiting my daughter Sofia and found them for $1,45 at her supermarket.
I love this table for tomorrow, Valentine's Day, as we will be having chinese take out, which we simply love!
I high shot, so you can see the red bows design inside the soup bowls. These heart soup bowls are simple, but cute and perfect! I saw some heart shape dinner plates which I bought for my grandgirls...I didn't like the idea that they were pink, with checks and dots and wouldn't have matched my reds, or these bowls for that matter.
This antique, transparent, bone china tea set is from after WWI. I have six teacups and saucers and two teapots, one big and one small and a sugar bowl, which have dragon handles.
I love to mix black and red, it's so dramatic and romantic too.  The antique Chinese tea set has lots of red as well.
On your left corner you can see the smaller teapot.
The pretty hand painted platter was made by us at our former Ceramic Co.
I'm also using my pair of vintage French couple, wearing blue hats.
Anyway, here goes my Valentine's tablescape which I also dedicate to all of you my dearest blog friends. May you have a wonderful lovers day, filled with lots of love!

Happy Valentine's to the wonderful hostesses and thank you so much for having me, as well.

    We love Chinese take-out food, too. We probably have it once a week! I never get tired of it!

  33. Lovely table. I think take out is the perfect solution for Valentine's Day. No one has to cook and you don't need to deal with restaurant lines.

  34. Hi there, I just wanted to come back by and thank you for your sweet comments on my Sugar Plum. She is a shih tzu. Both of my girls are shih tzus. I love them and think they are adorable and very important, they don't shed. She is feeling a bit better tonight. She started eating and you could tell she felt like playing, but changed her mind.

  35. First, let me say I got my tea box yesterday! How beautiful. It was so fun to have the doorbell ring and have the mailman hand me a package all the way from Ecuador! I love it and my hubby was so impressed!

    Beautiful table. Your table is so luxurious and your marble floor too. I love the heart bowls you got. What a beautiful tea set. Hope you had a wonderful Valentines.

  45. Hey, Fabby! I am so incredibly late getting around to your neat post! I am so sorry. It has been the week from you-know-where around here!!! I think Chinese takeout is the perfect meal for a Valentine's Day dinner. In the movies, you always see couples sharing Chinese takeout. It must be the food of love! :-) You KNOW I love your tea set!!!!!!!!! I was in a store yesterday admiring the Chinese offerings and wishing I had the $$$ to buy them! Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend, darlin'!

  51. Sorry to be late to the Valentine party. I'm struggling computer-wise.

    I love your romantic table for two. Those big valentine bowls give it so much presence.

    My favorite treasure is the gorgeous tea set. Wow. I love that!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Is there anything more precious than little grand-daughters?? Yours
    are beautiful and I know you enjoyed every minute of your week at your daughter's home, visiting with her and your SIL, and getting to SPOIL the girls just a wee bit!!
    Don't get me wrong, grandsons are just as precious and I have two of them, but they grew up and are in their mid-thirties now!! I have four grand-daughters and a great-
    grand-daughter, and they are younger than the boys....cousins...
    so more receptive to spoiling and hugs and such...LOL
    Have a HAPPY PINK SATURDAY, and I hope your Valentine dinner with your "special guy" was lovely!
    Hugs, Francy

  54. Happy Pink Saturday Fabby Sweetie...
    What a beautiful share today. I love seeing your gorgeous table setting. Your tea pots with the dragons, exquisite.

    I love your place settings as well. Fit for a Queen and King. Love your striped chairs as well.

    Those little heart bowls were the element of surprise. How precious they look atop each place setting.

    Love Chinese take out as well. We have a favorite little place here in Phoenix that we love.

    Have a glorious weekend sweet friend. Can't wait to read about your trip. I am your newest follower and so enjoyed my visit today. Country hugs sweetie, Sherry
