Candy cane hearts

When Mr FH & I travel home to our farm we pass through a little town that sells the best gerberas in their craft shop.  Apparently a local farmer grew them for a couple of supermarket chains who later found another source to supply them so he has kept growing them and now donates them to the craft store. The lady at the store has them by the bucket full and customers can take as many as they want for a donation to the Cancer Council ( an organisation that is very dear to my heart).  She has raised a lot of money over the last three years. I picked up a bunch of red and white flowers last week when I went home and this evening decided they would be perfect for a Valentine’s table. (I was trying to get away from the Christmas colours but the flowers were too beautiful not to use!)
















I used my leftover candy canes (which I purchased at Red Dot which is like the Dollar Tree, I think!!) to make the striped hearts at each setting. I only have white dinnerware here at the beach house so I just worked with what I had. I am proud to say I didn’t purchase anything new for this table!!!
