Pink, Pink, Pink Valentine's Table and A Giveaway

This year's family dinner is all about

PINK!

I love to set the table for the family but 

we have outgrown all of the tables

and have to set the bar too, but I

wanted Valentine's Day dinner for

the family to be fun and beautiful.

The cupcakes are the stars and 

they are covered with hugs and kisses

because that is what Grandma loves to

do when the kiddies come running 

through the door.

And the silicone Teacup Cupcake cups

are the giveaway for some lucky winners

this week!

Decorate a cupcake in these teacups

and they deserve to be placed on a pedestal!

Everything is white and pink to

change it up from our usual brilliant

red tables for Valentine's Day.

I hauled these beautiful pink dishes

all the way from San Antonio, Texas

last year when visiting my sister Jean.

They layer beautifully with the  white

textured dishes.  Have you noticed how

hard it is to find pretty pink plates?  I

had been looking for a while for these.

 The Pink Jamestown Fostoria

stemware was a gift from her daughter,

Laurel, my niece who had inherited

them from my mother.  That was so 

sweet of her because it is also hard to

find pretty pink stemware.  This is the

first time I am using these.  She brought

them for me on her last trip from Texas.

I love how heavy they are and I am not

afraid to let the kids use them.

They were topped with the cloches,

but you can see in the background

the child friendly option, without the cloches.

I used my sparkly heart ornaments

as napkin rings and I chose to

use this white plastic flatware.  I love

the pink against the white just like

the plate stack.

These were a great treasure found 

in the same gift shop back in Washington DC

where I purchased the silicon Teacup Cupcake cups.

Our centerpiece is all about pink too!

It features a couple of old

Valentine's Day chocolate boxes

from See's Chocolates.

I surrounded the centerpiece with a

heart made of pink plastic hearts which you

can see on the left.  You can't really capture

it in the picture.

I love you comes in pink and chocolate for the table.

And a rose ball under glass!

It is finished off with a pink candle

on a delicate pink candle holder.

These Fostoria glasses are the prettiest

clear pink.  Fostoria also made a Virginia Pink

which is more of a peachy pink.

The kids at the counter had a simplified

stack and no cloche.

They also had a chocolate marshmallow

skewer on their plates.

As I mentioned on my last post,

I had posted about these silicone

Teacup cupcake cups two years

ago and had purchased them in a

gift shop and they were pretty pricey,

but I am now having a giveaway.

I just love giveaways and we haven't had

enough with the downturn in the economy!!!

I will be giving away two prizes,

one set of eight cups and saucers

in pink and one set of eight cups and

saucers in white.  The cups are oven

save, the plates are not.  

To be eligible for the giveaway

you must be a follower and you

must leave a comment saying which

color of set you would like.  The giveaway

will last until Monday, February 16, 2015

at midnight.  Then two names will be

drawn at random (matching their color

choices of course) and the winners will

be announced.  

These are lightweight and I can mail

them anywhere in the world, so everyone

is eligible to enter!  

You don't have to be a blogger to enter,

just leave me an email address in your 

comment so I can get ahold of you if

you are chosen as the winner.

I will be posting this with
