Valentine's Day Table for Two

It was an uneventful week here in the clouds.  Nothing funny happened, no bones got broken, and no squirrels were harmed in the filming of this week's episode.  I've got a cold and I really just want to go to bed.  So here is my red and white table for Valentine's day.

 I found the lacy metal chargers at an online store for decorative painting.   They were an ugly brownish antique finish, and you're supposed to paint your masterpiece in the center area.  I spray-painted them a white gloss with Rustoleum Painter's Touch.

I topped them with Valero-Red plates by Ambiance.

Followed by "Hand Painted Made in Italy- 7597" heart plates, found on eBay.
Cupid looks like he's saying. "Oops! Pardon me!"

The little white baskets are vintage Dept 56.  Hubby was going to the drug store and asked if I needed anything.  I said something like, "Could you pick up a bag of small Valentine candies to put in the little baskets on the table? Anything red, white or pink, or any combination, or wrapped candy in any of those colors would be fine."  It went through his man-filter and he heard Charlie Brown's teacher saying, "Wah wah wah wah Valentine wah wah wah anything red white pink wah wah wah wah wah."
So he got jumbo cookies.

I spray painted the flower basket with the same paint as the chargers.

The goblets and red flutes are Waterford Lismore.  When I bought my Mikasa red goblets and used them on the Christmas table, Hubby said, "Where did you get those?" and I said, "I found them in a box," and he said, "Oh," and walked off.  Lol, I expected him to say, "No you didn't," and I would say, "Yes I did. I found them in a box UPS delivered today."  So when I set the table with these new red flutes, I expected him to say something, and this time I was going to say, "Oh, I've had those for a while." ( I bought them in December, too.)  But he didn't say anything at all.  He must think they are the same red glasses I used at Christmas, lol.

I was going to make a three-layer heart-shaped strawberry cake.  I told Hubby he could take it to work after I took photographs, and he said they'd tease him if he brought in a heart cake, so I made it in a bundt pan instead.  The cake plate is Godinger Antique Reflections.  I just changed out the Christmas plaid ribbon for a red one.

Cake, cookies, candy, chocolate-dipped strawberries.... well, they do say "Feed a cold," right?

The Moroccan lantern is from Amazon.

I'm taking the strawberries and heading for bed.
