I have a confession to make. I am not a fan of Valentine's Day. On top of that, I am not a fan of red. But, for some reason, I keep creating red tablescapes! Anyway, I told myself that if I could come up with a Valentines' Day tablescape without spending more than $10, I would do it. (I am always giving myself rules!)
Here is the result.
Table for two? Right this way...
Wait...what is this?
Oh Sweetheart, you shouldn't have!
I wonder what's in his heart. Love, of course.
OK, I have one more confession. I spent $12. The tablecloth came from Ross ($9), and I bought the two ceramic hearts and a package of paper hearts from Dollar Tree ($3). I already had everything else, including the beautiful ring my husband gave me five years ago. I hope you enjoyed my Valentine's Day tablescape! Now, NO MORE RED!
At least until the 4th of July!
I will be joining Tablescape Thursday

It is so pretty! I can't believe you only spent $12.00! You did a great job!
Beautiful! and that ring is absolutely stunning.

The tablecloth is just perfect! I like the use of black napkins -- they keep the table from being too "sweet," I think!
Love your table.Love the cute cloth,Thanks for sharing,Joann
Your tablecloth is a great find. The whole table came together wonderfully. Thank you for sharing.
Sincerely,

How sweet! I just adore red, white and black together!
Enjoy!
I'm not a big, big fan of Valentine's Day, either, so it used to pain me to have to come up with something every year. My husband's work schedule is such now that I don't have to worry about it! Hooray!!! You did a great job on your self-imposed budget, even if red isn't your favorite! Very nice!!!
I'm back from the beach and ready to view some tables! This is so sweet, love the border on the plates and I agree with another commenter about the black napkins, perfect touch! I admire you having a budget even if you didn't quite keep to it!

What a beautiful romantic table! You did great for only $12...
Oh I love, love, love this. How fun. Great tablescape. This is amazing. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Elaine, I am impressed with only spending $12. I also went to the Dollar Tree and bought those same trinket boxes in the middle of your plates. I spent very little on my Valentine tablescape but haven't posted it yet but will soon. I am your newest follower. Check out my header and you can see the trinket boxes.

Your table turned out stunning. I love the hearts you found. Great ring too! Happy Valentine's xo marlis
For not liking red OR Valentine's Day, this certain came out beautifully!!! I love your square plates and all of the hearts!! Very romantic too!!!
This is darling!! I love that tablecloth, you got a great deal! Adding in the black napkin was a great idea, it adds in an elegant factor. Those little heart boxes are just so cute. Love this!!
What a great challenge to give yourself! I also went to Dollar Tree and purchased the heart boxes. I placed them in my Valentine's stash for this year or next. I love the pierced plates! You did an excellent job with the $10 budget and the tablecloth is lovely. Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Tablescaping! Pam
