Cindy,
I think your tablescape is very nice. I love the bead-edge chargers and the napkin rings. The heart garland around the candle just gives a hint of Valentines which is nice, considering you're surrounded by men! Curious about the chargers: are they only for Mom and Dad?

Cindy, please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family, on the loss of your Dad.

I had wondered what happened to you. I'm glad to see you're back, and hopefully back to doing lovely table scapes again.
This was a very nice tablesetting.. I'm 'eyeing' that lovely Red Hurricane...and I like how you circled it with the pretty heart garland..nice look. I too like your napkin rings.
Welcome back and I hope we see more of you here.

Very pretty.
I love the red vase ( vases are a weakness for me..lol), the napkin rings and the salt/pepper shakers.

I'm glad to see you back with us Cindy. What a tough Holiday season to deal with! I'm so sorry about your Dad.

heart hugs,
Karen

Thanks, ya'll. I hope to get to play with tablescapes more, but first I need to reorganize my stash so they're easier to get to. Right now I have to go through tubs in the attic to find linens, and sometimes it's not worth it.

I hope to clear out a space in a closet to help in that area.

Hi Cindy, glad you posted your Valentine's table and "chatted" with us a bit. I'm so so sorry for your loss, I know how devastating that can be. I hope lurking here gave you a bit of enjoyment during such a difficult time.

I really like the way you did the garland around the candle holder too--perfect touch for Valentine's, along with red/white which I like anytime. Sometimes when I see blogs where people have red/white kitchens, I wish I could have done that--red is such an energizing color I think.

Hope you will keep joining in here with us even if you are not ready to do tables right now, okay? Take care.

My sympathy on the loss of your dad..
Cute table..hope you find it relaxing!

Magpie,
I'm sorry I overlooked your question. I had gotten a set of 12 of those silver chargers around Christmas for my SIL, but her table only seats 8 -10, so I kept 2. I actually thought I kept 4, but I couldn't find them! So, yes, I just used them at the ends of the table.

Cindy,
I'm new here...nice to meet you.

So sorry to hear about your Dad...keep the memories alive.
I feel that is one of the most important things about having family meals and making them special...the memories.

I have that same set of Pfaltzgraff 'Heritage'.
I love them...they are so versatile.
