To see more lovely table scape please visit Susan over here;)
Since Valentine's day is just around the corner, I thought I would take this opportunity to share my table scape idea for Valentine's day.
We often get so caught up with every day life we forget to take time for each other as a couple... between work, kids, and Tae Kwon Do lessons and violin, and PTA events etc.....so this is my evening planned for hubby and I.....
Just a simple and romantic setting for two.. did you happen to notice the little mini cake plate? It's my first one and it cost a whopping $4.00 at TJ Maxx;)
Candles, rose petals and sweets...who needs dinner????
A little Marvin Gaye playing in the background...and the kids are off to friend's for sleepovers...all is quiet....ahhhhhh
The dinner planned is steak with mushrooms and onions cooked medium rare, garlic mashed potatoes, and a zucchini/squash vegetable medley.
Tonight's wine will be Woodbridge Pinot Noire...
Take your shoes off, relax and let's talk about us;) Let's laugh and reminisce about the day's gone by......
Let's look at each other's eyes and remember what brought us together 22 years ago...
The rose petals are actually from a potpourri bag,...I thought it added the touch of romance the table needed;)
A closer look at the napkin rings with a small candy heart for my true love...
Layers of silver, white and red with simple black placemats.
The centerpiece is a bouquet of roses (shhh yes they are artificial)....but don't they look beautiful!
Last but not least the dessert being served this evening will be strawberry eclairs....delicious!

It is so romantic and perfect, French, it gave me goosebumps. Love the plates and the petals makes it even more romantic. The menu looks delicious.

Oh my goodness that really looked romantic!!! I could actually imagine that it would make dinner a special moment for TWO.. even if they've know eachother for the longest time!!
Good going French! Love the little details too!

And then when dinner is over, G-Man can sweep his arm across the table, scattering the tablescape over the floor, and take you right there on the table, to boink well into the night. Heeheeheeeeeeeeeeeee

Very Classy and Romantic!!! I bet you don't even get to FINISH dinner lol
Impressive! Agree w/ Nikki's comment above. ;O)
I was already lovin' (no pun intended...well, maybe) it and then the player kicked on with "Let's Get it On" and that put it over the top.
Perfect.
Frenchy, thanks for swinging by to see the "cover-up"! lol.. I think women would think about where to place them.. men on the other hand not so much.. At least this way I don't have to look at 2 white boxes on the wall.. lol hugs ~lynne~
So beautiful Lisa! Deb
P.S. Missing yall!
I do not see where to email you so hear goes.
First I found "the scattered mind of a tattooed minivan mom" wow that was a mouthful. Love her but not sure my audience would...oh well, so funny.
Second I'm from Cornwall and no sorry the name does not ring a bell. Oh I wish we were related. I have so many relatives but mainly in this part of the woods.
Have a good one
Love Claudie

Thanks for the comment!
I like your tablescapes. I was checking them out last night and yours was my favorite! So it was cool to see that you had posted on my blog. :)
Awesome! It's beautiful and romantic. All the little touches are perfect. Nicely done!
Wow, French...this is stunning! I hadn't made it around to everyone's tables yet and I am sooooo glad I didn't miss this! I love the rose petals strewn all around the table! Your napkin rings are soooo sweet...I think they are my favorite part! Love your darling ruby cake plate...what a steal...gotta love TJ Maxx! I don't even want to attempt a Valentine tablescape after seeing yours! This is gorgeous!!! Susan P.S. Love the storyline, too! Now you have to set this exact table in a few weeks! ;-)
Good morning darling, thanks for swinging by my little corner of the world.. It means the world.. hope you have a super w/k.
hugs ~lynne~
I just wanted to say hi...hope you are feeling well....and let you know how much I love the photo in your blog header! just so pretty!

French, I've had a houseful of guests and am "way" behind on making my rounds! This table is absolutely the most romantic Valentine Theme I've seen yet! I adore the little white candy heart sitting on the napkin ring. You've out-Frenched yourself on this one! ;) Totally romantic! ~CC
Absolutely beautiful and SO romantic! I love it!
~Karla
Hey French.....
Love the table.. it looks great and romantic! I would like to know if you could add an extra chair for me? I like my steak medium well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
What a beautiful table setting Lisa! You've certainly captured the essence of Romance.
(The menu sounds delicious, but at my age I would have to replace the onions with a a gourmet Merlot-Peppercorn Sauce. The digestive tract just isn't what is use to be....if you get my drift...smiles.)
