Frugalista Valentine's Tablescape Thursday


I haven't participated in Susan's Tablescape Thursday from Between Naps on the Porch for quite a while. So if you haven't heard of it...do yourself a favor and stop by her blog and check out some very beautiful tablescapes. Here is a frugalista Valentine's table! I used stuff I already owned plus picked up a few things from the 99 cents store. I was going to do a dinner for two but decided to just make a special place for my husband. Now I plan on recreating this for Valentine's and making a very special meal.The red velvet striped candle holders I got last year around Valentine's day at Dollar Tree for a party I was planning then. Spread red hots around on the black feather table runner that I folded to make smaller. The centerpiece I made a while ago using $ Tree roses stuck in Styrofoam glued on top of a Big Lots vase- put it on a candy dish for height and added Red Hots.I just love these 99 cents red hearts...I bought many of them! I think they are ornaments so I used the hanging ribbon as my napkin ring. Put a love note and red rose petals in glass bottle. I layered the red charger with a damask plate I already owned. Found these cute red heart plates at 99 cents store and the chocolate candle favor as well. Just added a red & black pick I owned underneath heart plate for a little extra bling. The Love You tag is a cupcake printable from Paper & Cake. I just used it for a champagne glass tag. The printable set came with a wine tag but just wanted to change it up. I love printables...they are so versatile and inexpensive.Hope you enjoyed my 99 cent store finds and my frugalista Valentine's tablescape.
