Table for two!!

Well, the world seems to be filled with pink and red at the moment so I thought I would join the Valentine train! Finally, I have found some lovely red and white spotted plates. I love them and I’m sure they will be used over and over. I set up a small table for two and covered it with a white cloth. After setting everything up I thought the table still looked like it needed ‘something’. I finally decided to add a piece of red and white toile fabric to one corner. To me, toile is such a romantic fabric so it fitted in just right. Everything else was found around the farm house as I am now home from holidays. Work tomorrow!!! Not sure how I’ll make it through the whole day without a nanna nap though!

Happy Monday!!

PS I've had a few people enquire where I purchased this gorgeous spotty dinnerware...I bought the dinner plate and salad plate from our main supermarket, Woolworths, here in Australia and the dessert plate (Maxwell & Williams) is part of a set I have had for a while.

Nothing says Valentine's better than a LOVE sign! Your tablescape is wonderful for a tete de tete! The sweet polkadot plates are just right for your red and white theme. I love how you incorporated the toile piece at an angle what a creative idea. Very Pretty!

Cute,cute,cute! I am a fool for polka dots so I love your plates. Thanks for sharing. Visiting from Savvy Southern Style.

Woolworth's is the name of a supermarket there? It used to be the name of a chain of "five-and-dime" stores here in the U.S. that finally folded in the 1990s. I Googled it, and I see there is no connection between the two, but it's just so interesting that the name is the same! Very pretty red & white! I'm glad you were able to find plates you like!!! Have a beautiful Valentine's Day, Suzy!

Your red and white polka dots would work for me any time. Funny, the thought just occurred to me that as much as I like red, I have very little that goes on the table!
