    It's all beautiful, but my eye was especially taken by the checkered hearts. I'm going to save that photo and try to copy the heart - I'm not very crafty, but I just love that heart!

    Two hearts are better than one do the trick for me with those little Breton people falling in love all over the table.

    They are all sweet Sarah- enjoy your Valentine.

    I am not sure where to start! I love all of the tables, especially the black and white check and the red and white polka dot ones. But then, there is the beautiful pink one - I cannot decide which is my favorite. They are all fabulous! Hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day!!

    We stay at home on Valentine's Day, too and your vignettes are chock-full of ideas for celebrating. Love the Courtly Check, and the Two Hearts looks. Thanks for all the inspiration.

    Sarah,
    How do I love these Valentine Day Tablescapes? Let me count the ways!
    I love the black & white checks with the red hearts! The tall twiggy centerpiece, the pink hydrangea candle ring, the adorable ME figurines, la Frenchy theme, simplistic red and white with polka dots...but Romance of the Cameo has stolen my heart!!!
    Thank you, dear friend, for sharing your creative talents for lovely tablescapes with us!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat

    Beautiful mosaics and great ideas for tablescapes. Market Street is in North and West Texas! The one I shop is in Allen and has a great deli, food court with so many different prepared foods to chose from it is wonderful. The florist has an area and the Dish area is separate and you never know what is being offered but I love their change with the seasons. Their West Texas stores in Lubbock is where I shop when I visit my son. He can't get me out of the store is his thought. Marlis of Creative Journeys lives there and has shown some pretty items from Market Street. It is a fun store to visit and I am always finding something new in their different departments. Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog!

    Sarah~ So many beautiful offerings...I'm hard pressed to choose a favorite but I think it would have to be your Courtly Checks! We haven't made reservations in years since it's always so crowded & rushed. Thanks for the links and a chance to revisit. I love Twila's table and the wonderful Breton miniature wheel barrow! ♥

    Lots of beautiful eye candy this week, Sarah.
    We decided long ago that New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day dinners out were best celebrated on another date in order to avoid overpriced mediocre meals...therefore we eat also dine at home!

    I want you to recycle this post in late January or early February to inspire me. Hopefully my kitchen will be put back together and I'll be more inclined to decorate!

    Love this post! I love the Mary Engelbreit items....I love how well mary Engelbreit goes with MacKenzie-Childs.

    Sarah, each table is more spectacular than the previous one.. You have a beautiful eye for all things gorgeous! We too eat at home, but yesterday hopped in the car, drove to Applebees at 5:30, got right in and were home while the mad rush was going on. I hope your Valentine's day was filled with joy. xo marlis
