Valentine's Dinner - Table for 2

Valentine's Day on a Friday night?  Sounds like a perfect excuse avoid the crowds and enjoy a fireside dinner for two.


A little 'lovebird' sits atop the stack of Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage plates.   Didn't want to do the 'typical' red and white heart shaped dishes, so did up red and white a different way.

Red wine hocks and Artland Iris clear bubble water glasses.

Another 'twist' is the paisley tablecloth - intended to use it strictly for Christmas, but liked it for Valentine's Day, too.

If I use my imagination, I can see Valentine's Day hearts in the paisley pattern.


On the menu tonight is king crab legs, courtesy of Costco's Seafood Roadshow

The stack and how we did it.......
Pier One rattan place mats, in red, topped with a Pottery Barn silver charger and Pottery Barn red handled flatware.
White Bordallo cabbage dinner plate.....

and a red Bordallo cabbage salad plate.



Crab wine server is actually a cocktail napkin holder, so it is doing double duty tonight.



Time to go cook for my honey!  Happy Valentine's Day to all of you sweethearts!
