Welcome to Masterpiece Monday #4

I just wanted to say welcome to my new followers and thank you to everyone who participated in last weeks Masterpiece Monday!
If your post was featured, feel free to grab a featured button from my sidebar.

My masterpiece for this week is just a very simple, easy valentines table scape, using what i had on hand.


 Notice the cupids wings on the plates?

I added my shabby salt and pepper shakers I found
for a dollar. The table cloth is a family heirloom.

Cheap glasses from GW, I love the bubble texture in the glass.

my repainted dollar store votives.

An aerial shot of my faux roses ala GW.


Simple, frugal, relaxing

I always dress up the side table along with my table scapes
and my statue couple is usually decked out too.




The statue girl has a Valentine to give to statue boy.....

and he's got some flowers for her, how sweet!

I removed these little white hearts from another decoration from last year and re-stung them on white raffia.


I filled my milk glass pedestal dish with pink and lavender hearts, a dollar store glass used as a votive holder........

a rusty heart shaped cookie cutter, and two vintage doves.




I can't wait to see what you've created this week! :O)
I've also linked up with Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch

    My first time to visit you, I guess? Your table is really romantic. I love the statue and how you explain about the girl giving a heart to the boy? It's so cute, or am I just as romantic as you?

    Awesomenes!!!

    I really love the angel wings. I think so much of Valentine's Day decorations are so cutesy...and that just isn't really my style. You've captured the romance with elegance!
