Hello my friends! Valentine's Day is nearly here and I am celebrating the gift that God gave me...my beloved valentine...Russell!
*
I am such a blessed woman and I thank the Lord each and every day for giving me my husband Russell! We will be celebrating Valentine's Day with a romantic dinner for two. The table has been set and the menu is planned.

Beloved Valentine

This Valentine's table is spun with silver and creamy white!

(I have quite a few photos to share with you today so I will just let them speak for themselves.)

In the center of the table is an old silver trinket box filled with a few Valentine postcards dating back to the early 1900's. They were penned from the hand of my great-great-uncle to his mother which would be my great-great-grandmother! The Valentine postcard that you see here was penned in the year 1912! What a treasure!!! I feel so blessed to have these sweet little love notes....written from a son to his beloved mother on Valentine's Day!
*
*
I placed an olden key upon the precious Valentine postcard!
*
Love certainly is the KEY...and my beloved holds the key to my heart!!!

Chari, you are the queen of romance! This table is so stunning. Love the silver ornaments in the apothocary jar and those gorgeous silver finials. Your pretty ribbons curled around the table - well, I love it all. I've said it before, but I LOVE those plates with that silver scalloped border. Thank you for joining the party with this exquisite tablescape. laurie

Love all the silver! Especially the hearts. I think I have the same red color in my powder room. It's one of my favorite paint colors. Hope you and Russell have a great V-day!
Oh my goodness, your table is so lovely! It would be a pleasure to sit at that table and eat anything at all. I love your old valentines too. What an amazing family keepsake!
Thanks for your very sweet comment on my blog. I'll "miss you" on Sunday as I'll be away from my computer. Happy Valentine's Day!
Chari, I can always count on you to bring the "oomph" that I need to jumpstart my heart for the day! WOW! That is one amazing table!!!

Everything is just beautiful! Such a romantic tablescape! Happy Valentine's Day!
It is so elegant! Thank you for sharing.
Chari--The best Valentine's table!!! I love the white and silver. I just got chills reading about the card--what a treasure! I have saved all mine over the years--maybe one day they will be a treasure to someone. Then again, maybe the kids will just throw them away when I am gone :) Happy Valentine's Day to you and Russell. Isn't the Song of Solomon romantic? ~~Susan
I enjoyed seeing this all over again!! Just gorgeous!
I'm a little late for Laurie's Valentine party, but I just posted!

YOU outdid yourself, my dear!!
Your beloved is a lucky man...and :) you are a lucky woman!
Hugs and love,

Your table is stunning. The silver and white present an elegant combination of colors and textures. For me, the valentine cards from your great greats was the best part of the tablescape for me.
Hello Chari ~I didn't want to miss the opportunity to come by and wish you a Happy Valentines Day.
Sometimes our lives can become very busy making it difficult to return visits. I truly appreciate you taking the time to not only visit but, especially for leaving me with your sweet comments.
It inspires my creativity. It's always a joy to share with you just as you did with this stunning tablescape.
I hope you can stop by for some V-Day fun. I've posted a tutorial on Conversation Heart Petit fours.
Sweet Valentine Wishes,
Sara
What a sweet treat! Love truly lives in the details.
Happy hearts day!
Hey Chari - and happy Valentine's Day to you! Thanks for leaving such a long nice comment on my shelf post! Bella Italia *sigh*...
Now to your Valentine's arrangements - I absolutely adore your apothecary jar. It is so pretty. And there are so many other pretty, sparkly things to discover in your display. In fact I have just been struck by inspiration thanks to those silver finial-type of ornaments. (No idea what you call them - the things that look as if they are Christmas tree toppers). I bought some tree toppers cheaply in the Sales - and I am thinking now I could recreate something like your finials...
Have a nice day tomorrow!
Sonja @ Craft-Werk
I love that trinket box and those dancing white ladies! This whole tablescape sparkles with all that gorgeous white and silver!!!! I pray that you are wonderful!!! Love, L

Love the silver and white Valentine table -- mine was too -- but I didn't have those cute white figurines or silver hearts! Your table is stunning!

This entire post is spun with silver! Wow! This table is full of romance and perfect for the occasion.

Hi Chari! Thanks for visiting. I love seeing all your silver! I have inherited silver and it's time to polish again. my hubby helps me. When we were in Newport RI this summer i asked them how they keep all the silver polished and a man told me that they have it all coated...I have a silver teapot pin from my aunt...i must dig it out!
Thanks! Jennifer aka Gigi
Your table is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Happy Valentines day!

Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous. I would love to be sitting at your table.
So, it is stickers brawl associated with heart disease.
You may have even experienced receiving little, tiny pictures or those with labels
but are so generic; do you think of people who could read
into critical thinkers and scholars. Anything smaller than 8.
Even although vinyl is, and she believes much of that
is down to the fact that the stickers brawls are printed within seconds and you have yourself the
ultimate shower.
