SorryScape Valentine

     I really messed up this time.  Husband surprised me with two concert tickets to see Brian McKnight, 3rd row seats for tonight.  He knows I'm a huge R&B fan, and what's more sexy hot R&B than Brian McKnight?  OKAY, I LOST THE TICKETS!  After several phone calls and a trip to the venue the club determined they would not replace our lost tickets.  So I'm slightly *)&%#%&  irritated and disappointed.
So what else could I do?  A tablescape.

     I found these plates at HomeGoods this winter and bought four of them, knowing I'd find plenty to coordinate with them.  I thought they'd be nice for Valentines Day.



Used my Spode Archive Collection - British Flowers-Rose plate as a chager. Maybe it was intended to be used as a charger.  I don't know.





The tablecloth I purchased several years ago at an April Cornell store that was located at the Galleria in St. Louis., MO.  The store is no longer there.  Fond memories.  I bought my daughter who was maybe six years old then dresses with matching hats.  So adorable.  Beautiful clothes then.  That was 13 years ago.  She's now 19 and almost 6 foot tall.  A striking beauty.



Added a little purple dish topped with very old glassware.



These green glasses are so pretty.



I'm loving these mercury glass candle holders.





I've got some FINE wine here.  Maybe drinking it will make me feel better  . . . . . then again, maybe it will make me sick.



Where is the food?



I should be primping right now, getting ready for the concert, putting on some sexy outfit, and ready to have a good time with my husband.  But oh no, someone lost the tickets!
URRGGG,  WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!  Where is that bottle opener!
