OLD FASHIONED CHERRY COBBLER AND THE ROMANCE OF TOILE

I rarely decorate for Valentine's Day!

In fact, after our daughter-in-law, Jenn, had decorated their foyer for this day of romance,

 I thought about the fact that I really do not own much in way of the color red.

Now pink....oh yes, lots and lots of pink.

 

But then I thought, hey wait a minute....

I have red Transferware, which to me, is quite romantic!

 And so the idea began to transform!

Candles are definitely required for a romantic Valentine's Day, right!

I decided to use my mother-in-law's crystal egg plate.

Lovely, isn't it?

Another treasured heirloom.

 

 

Then taking four burgundy colored candles, which I have had for years.....I mean years,

I selected old scrapbooking paper and wrapped them in romantic toile.

Each one in a different pattern.

I went to the ribbon drawer and lo and behold,

found one spool of burgundy and gold ribbon.

There we have it....all dressed up and glowing for valentine's day

 

 Surrounded by chocolate kisses, I think they look revitalized and quite romantic!

  

I decided to display the few pieces I own of red Transferware,

on Mother's cherry wood tray.

Don't you love the romantic scenes on these lovely serving pieces?

I believe I bought this piece when I was shopping in Atlanta with the Divine Miss M

 

I think next week, I will add some greenery or faux hydrangeas to this vase

 

Valentine's Day would not be complete with a

Homemade Cherry Cobbler!
