Hello dear ones. It seems that January has been racing by quickly and February will be arriving soon. Valentine’s Day is such a sweet treat tucked into the middle of winter.
“So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:13
I am joining nineteen table stylists to bring you a Valentine Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by my talented friend, Rita from Panoply. You will find the links for all the beautiful table settings at the bottom of this post.
When you think of Valentine’s Day, are there certain colors that are automatically brought to mind that represent the day?
I am traditional in my celebration of this special day, red and pink are the colors of love!
An April Cornell ‘berry plaid’ tablecloth is the ideal foundation for my colors of love table that features American Atelier ‘baroque’ chargers, Royal Stafford ‘Asiatic pheasant’ dinner plates, and ruby red salad/luncheon plates.
My RM loves these heart-shaped shortbread cookies!
A Limoges floral bread and butter plate with a lovely gold border adds a bit of romance to the table.
Who doesn’t love pink tulips?
A red velvet heart that is wearing a gold crown always adorns my Valentine’s tables.
Red heart napkin rings and pink napkins add more colors of love to the table!
The table is set for four. The colors of love are so much more than a pink and red table setting! Valentine’s day is a time for caring and sharing. An invitation to friends or family to come and dine, while enjoying the festive colors, is definitely a wonderful way to express love! Even better, what about an invitation to someone who might otherwise spend the day alone?
“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
Colossians 3:14
A bread and butter plate marked Bavaria has a sweet floral pattern. I love finding little plates of two or four to mix on table settings.
Whether dark, milk, or white…chocolate is definitely a color of love!
A small pink heart plate is filled with colors of love. Delicious strawberry bundt cakelets surrounded by M&M’s satisfy our love of all things sweet! Conversation hearts were sprinkled on the table for pastel colors of love!
My RM and I always spend Valentine’s Day at home with a candlelit dinner. We no longer wish to deal with crowded restaurants and noise, but we enjoy a quiet and romantic home cooked meal.
How do you plan to spend Valentine’s Day?
You might notice a piano in the background. My Sweetheart recently gifted me this beautiful mini-grand. Its ebony finish is definitely a color of love that goes straight to my heart.
Not only do we celebrate Valentine’s Day in February, but we also celebrate our anniversary. The color of love for this special one is Golden!

Good morning Pam, The colors of love are perfectly represented at your table with your pretty-in-pink tulips, AC berry plaid tablecloth, red goblets and Conversation Hearts! I love your beautiful plate stacks, topped with your assorted bread and butter plates. Your mini-grand piano is such a wonderful and perfect gift from Butch…Happy almost golden anniversary, what a milestone! As always, it’s a treat to join you at the table and hop with you. Happy Tuesday ♥
Thank you, Mary. I am spending most days playing, it really quiets my heart. Not only do I have the beautiful sound of a grand, but because it is digital I can add all the fabulous sounds of an orchestra ♥️
As always your table is a delight, and I love your using the term table stylist! I guess what we do to a table is styling!
Thanks so much, Linda. Wishing you a wonderful week!
Good morning Pam. Your table is lovely. I am especially smitten with the velvet hearts with crowns! Did you make those? Happy Valentine’s day and a very Happy Anniversary!
Thank you, Peggy!
Beautiful Pam! I love your happy table with colors of love with pink and red! Your tulips and gorgeous candlesticks are a pleasure to see during this dreary January. Your plate stack looks perfect with your AC tablecloth Your collection of accent plates are so pretty and add that special touch as do your special treats that grab our attention.
I am excited for you to see your new piano! How wonderful! I would love to see you play.
Thanks so much, Bonnie. The piano is where you find me me each day for long periods of time ♥️
Oh, Pam – golden!! You two must’ve been teenagers when married!😘I noticed that baby grand right away and thought, “I’ve never seen that before!” What a gorgeous backdrop it made for your beautifully traditional table! You have such a well-curated inventory of china, I’m sure it was easy (then again, maybe really hard?) to select what to arrange on that pretty AC tablecloth. I do love seeing the crowned heart on each of your Valentine tables. The little b/b plates you’ve collected to set between the ruby red salads and sherbets are really pretty, very complementary. Pam, here’s to loving hearts, your 50 years, and celebrating the best of all traditions – a marriage that lasts from beginning to end! Thank you for participating in this hop, and ask Butch to save just one shortbread cookie for me.
Rita, your well wishes truly warm my heart. I am spending all my time playing my digital mini grand! Not only do I have the sound of a grand piano, but can add all the orchestral sounds if I wish!
Thank you ♥️
Wow! Congratulations to you and Butch on your upcoming 50th Wedding Anniversary! And congratulations on your new piano! What a gift! It sounds like your celebration has already begun. May God continue to bless you richly!
Thanks so much, Cheryl ♥️
Pam, hi! oh the pinks and the reds and 50 years! so much to celebrate and appreciate! yours is the first Valentine’s post i’ve seen. i feel like spring can’t be too far behind!
enjoy each golden minute. you guys are an incredible team together.
Thanks so much for you sweet wishes that warmed my heart ♥️
Oh Pam…it is always a delight to see your tables as you are truly inspirational…AND congratulations on your upcoming golden anniversary. Your vibrant red colors are perfect for the occasion and I have to admit the Captain and I prefer to spend the evening away from the maddening crowds. I adore your baby grand…what a wonderful gift from your honey. Perhaps I will post my table closer to Valentine’s Day once I get my IT issues fixed…but I will be joining you for next hop for sure. What a great group of ladies and so talented. Happy Valentine’s Day
Thank you, my friend ♥️
Pam, you and Butch are a golden couple! I’m so happy for the two of you, living your best life together, filling your days with beauty. Fifty Years!!!!!! I noticed the baby grand. What a special gift from your guy! My table for the hop is not traditional, but typically I would be using reds and pinks and hearts. Well, I did use red and hearts. Ha! Ha!
I always admire your settings with pretty flowers and dish stacks of pieces from your dish collection. You have some wonderful patterns! It’s always a pleasure to visit. Colors of Love is the perfect title! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Thank you, Sarah. Your sweet wishes warm my heart ♥️
Wow 50 years. How sweet and wonderful. I love your sweet and pretty table. Have a great day today. Hugs. Kris
Thanks, Kris and a special thanks for the warm wishes ♥️
Pam, Your Valentine’s Day table is so pretty! The tablecloth is so vibrant and compliments your beautiful plate stack. AC has really lovely linens. Your ruby glassware is just perfect as are the napkin rings. The tulips make a gorgeous centerpiece. A seat at your table is better than any restaurant! We always stay home for a special meal. The food is better and we aren’t rushed to make room for other couples. Happy Tuesday! Clara ❤️
Thanks so much, Clara ♥️
Pam, your table is lovely, and so festive! Always a sweet treat to have a virtual seat at one of your tables. (Just checking to make sure you received my invite to this years S. Pat Day theme hop, as I’ve run into problems with my emails going into blogger’s spam folders).
Thanks so much, Debbee!
Pam I love all your different plates! Such a pretty combination. Love the deep red goblets too. Great to blog hop with you!
Thank you, Karin!
Hi Pam! Your pink tulips are so lovely and I adore that puffy velvet heart! Pinned! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thanks Cecilia!
Wow! RM outdid himself. What would I do if I was gifted with such a piano. Play the piano for us and have RM record you playing. I would love that as a sweet valentines Day gift. Red red red, it’s the color of true love for me. The best year ever is wished for you and Butch. Happy 50th anniversary ❤️
Yes, Butch outdid himself. Thanks for your sweet wishes, our friend ♥️♥️
Good Morning Pam.
Your Valentine’s Table is quite stunning with the special AC tablecloth to the pink tulips to the assortment of bread and butter plates. Such loveliness.
Your piano from Butch is such a beautiful gift for your Golden Anniversary. How wonderful!
Enjoy your day my dear friend!
Thanks dear one ♥️
I love your idea of mix and match bread and butter/dessert plates! Such a fun idea. Your table is perfect for Valentines Day and I would enjoy sitting here with those sweet treats!! 50 years? good for you, what an accomplishment!
Pam, love your pinks and red. Your AC Berry plaid tablecloth is so pretty with your plate stack. The ruby goblets are stunning. Fifty years, congrats. The baby mini grand is gorgeous! The pink tulips are pretty. Love the cute heart napkin rings.. A beautiful table to celebrate your love. Always a pleasure hopping along with you.
Thanks so much, Linda and especially for the warm wishes♥️
Wonderful! How romantic and inspiring!
Thank you dear one ♥️
Oh, Pam. This post brought tears to my eyes when I saw the piano! What a beautiful gift of love! I want to be there to sing around it. I love velvet hearts, the cookies, and the floral bread and butter plate with gold trim the best! The verses of love! This is what life is all about! All of the decor blesses and warms my heart ❤️. We haven’t received Dad’s results. I closed on my house and after much work, I’m going to rest in God’s love as I wait for the 8-10 inches of snow. I’ll probably be out of pocket many days once I start moving. I love you all so much and appreciate your prayers and love too! Please take care! ❤️❤️💕🥰🙏🏻
Thanks so much sweet friend! Please take care of yourself and don’t overdo with the new house. I would love for you to sing around the piano with us. Love, prayers, and hugs ♥️🙏🏻🎶
You’re so welcome, Pam! We haven’t heard back on Dad’s biopsy yet. Today is my last day in my house and I’ve tried not to overdo it. I think most things are ready for my AR friends to come help load the Uhaul for official move tomorrow. It’s all so exciting; yet, bittersweet! I’ll have to move my internet service. It may be a few days before I’m “up and running”. I love you all so much and am sending many prayers and hugs! Please take care! 💕❤️🥰🎶
Praying the move will be easy. Take care sweet friend ♥️🥰🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Continued prayers for your dad 🙏🏻🙏🏻
First of all, I love that your tablescape comes with delicious treats! ;P
Mr. Everyday earned sooooo many cuteness points for gifting you that piano. It is lovely! You are one blessed lady!
Now getting back to your tablescape….I love the pretty plate stacks, especially the unique smaller plates. I agree with you about the colors of Valentine’s Day, 100 percent. Our kitchen table is decorated with pink, red, and white, but I went off the rails a little for my post. :O
What I love best about your table is the April Cornell tablecloth. It can be used for so many holidays and events throughout the year! I do love it.
Thanks for sharing scripture in your post. It’s making me smile!
Happy Valentine’s!
XO,
Ricki Jill
Thank you Ricki Jill. I used the AC cloth for 4th of July and it would also work wonderful for Christmas! I appreciate your warm wishes ♥️
Another perfect table Pam. The pink tulips are breathtaking. I always love seeing your red heart with crown. Everything just fits perfectly on the AC tablecloth. I really love your new Baby Grande. What a great gift. A big anniversary coming up for you and RM. Happy Valentine’s day!
Thanks so much, Dianne! Thanks for your warm wishes♥️
What a beautiful table Pam and I love your theme of the Colors of Love! The pink tulips look amazing and the plate stack is gorgeous and I especially love your collection of bread and butter plates on top. You have such a knack for mixing your colors of love in such a pleasing way. What a beautiful piano in the background and such a lovely gift! Happy upcoming golden anniversary to you and Butch and happy Valentine’s Day!
Thanks so much, Kim for your sweet comments and warm wishes! ♥️
Wow, 50 years! What a great blessing and a wonderful reason to celebrate! Congratulations to you two, Enjoy the day,
Thank you for your warm wishes, Lauren!
Your table is lovely with the reds and pink shades. I too noticed that beautiful baby grand! Oh how I wish I could play. My oldest granddaughter plays, sings and writes some of her own songs and we enjoy listening to her so much. Those Bundt cakes look simply delicious and what a wonderful sweet to have at your beautiful table. Happy week to you dear Pam. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy for your sweet and warmest of wishes! Blessings ~
What a lovely Valentine display. It is so festive.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
Joan,Marilyn and Marion
Thank you sweet friends!
I just love everything💕 I love your beautiful table and it’s special traditions, I love the scriptures you include, the love you and Butch share, the thoughtfulness of your gifts❣ Happy Valentine’s Day and congratulations on your 50th Wedding Anniversary. 💕
Sue, thank you for your sweet comments and warmest of wishes ♥️
Pam, your traditional Valentine’s Day table makes my heart sing! Everything looks just beautiful from the linens and pink tulips to the pretty plates. Those sweet treats look scrumptious! I spied the baby grand. What a special gift, and I know you treasure it with your love of music. I so enjoyed my visit today, dear friend!
Thank you, Shannon. The gift is beyond wonderful. Both of us are enjoying it immensely ♥️
I was oohing and aching over your beautiful pink and red settings with all the delicious sweet treats. Then I saw the piano…oh my goodness! What an incredible gift from Butch. Happy, happy 50th my sweet friends!
Thank you, my friend! I am loving the piano. It is a digital mini-grand which has those beautiful orchestral sounds that can be added to the grand piano ♥️
Wow Pam! Congratulations and a very Happy Golden Anniversary! Your Valentines table really represents the romance and whimsy that the day is all about! I particularly love your plate stack and how you have combined colours and textures that work so well to create a truly romantic vibe. The scattering of conversation hearts and Hersheys kisses add a touch of whimsy! My husband and I also skip the busy restaurants and enjoy a (take-out) meal at home too!
Thanks so much, Maureen for your warm wishes and sweet comments!
This is a sweet table. Love your choice of dishes and that tablecloth is perfect! Congratulations on the Baby Grand piano and on the upcoming 50 year anniversary!
Thank you, Liz for your warm wishes!
Loved the saturated colors you picked for your table! The plate stack is very pretty and it’s sweet that you incorporated several vintage/antique pieces for a bit of a sentimental vibe. I’m crazy about your pink tulip centerpiece — prettier than the standard choice of roses. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Thank you, Sandra. I love tulips and planted bulbs in the fall
What a wonderful things to celebrate a 50th anniversary. You sure don’t look like you could be married that long. Congratulations. We usually spend our Valentines Days at home with a special table and meal too. Very romantic that way for us.
Thank you, Pamela for your warm wishes!
Pinks and reds are perfect choices for Valentine’s Day, Pam. So many lovely ways to celebrate your memories together. Love the beautiful tulips that draw the eye and lift the heart. Incorporating pieces with sentimental value brings so many good memories to the table. A lovely, romantic table. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Lynne
Thank you, Lynne! I love including sentimental pieces that bring lovely memories!
Pam, a table which includes plaid and candy hearts warms my nostalgic heart. It certainly brings to mind plenty of wonderful Valentine’s Day memories and, in a sense, brings about a childish playfulness for me. I love all of the red and pink and adding all of the wonderful treats like beautifully decorated cookies and chocolates really adds to the many expressions of love through the years and all those boxes of heart-shaped chocolates! Your tulips are gorgeous and lifted my spirits immediately, especially for someone living in such a cold and snowy climate. I adore your exquisite plate stack of classic patterns. Definitely, it adds to the feeling of romance of the table with the help of candlelight. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Thank you, Marsha for your sweet comments! I have vivid memories of those long ago Valentine’s Days!
What a sweet feast Pam, your grandaughters will love all of those heart goodies! Blessings sweet friend, Jennifer
Thanks my friend!
m, congrats on your 50th anniversary. It brings me joy that you are celebrating this many years together!
Thanks so much, Rachelle!
What a lovely table and lovely thought…”the colors of love”. I certainly agree that pink and red are the colors of love. I think I remember that beautiful red velvet heart from past years. It is so pretty. We are like you, we stay home and enjoy a romantic meal home together for Valentine’s day and enjoyed a romantic dinner with the table I set for this hop! Happy Valentine’s Day to the two of you!
Thanks so much Chloe! I am so glad you two had time to enjoy your beautiful table!
Congratulations to you and your hubby!! 50 years!! Happy anniversary!! We are ten years behind you- our 40th is this fall. Your table is beautiful with all the red and the beautiful pink tulips. Your plate stack is beautiful and your treats have me drooling. How wonderful that you received a baby grand so you can return your gift of music to all. Enjoy both Valentine’s Day and your special anniversary ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Ann for you sweet wishes ♥️
Your table is so pretty. I love everything about it. Great colour combination 🙂
Thanks so much, Claire!
