Hello Dear Readers!
Welcome to another fabulous Monday Morning Blooms Day!
The theme for today has to be one of my favorites…
Valentine’s Day!
Lidy, Mary, Pam and I hope to give you
some great Valentine’s Day inspiration for your home.
You can see their exceptional Valentine’s Day
celebration with flowers at the end of this post.
The links to their posts are below their
exquisite images.
Today I bring you….
Flowers and Candy for Valentine’s Day
I decided to use one of my favorite china
patterns to celebrate Valentine’s Day with you.
A pattern that I have had for many, many years.
Royal Albert Old Country Roses.
One of the serving bowls was the
perfect piece for the flower arrangement.
I used wet floral foam in the bowl
to secure the flowers.
The flowers that I chose were:
Pink Stock Roses
Pink Tulips
Lavender Stock
Lavender Alstroemeria
As I was browsing the flowers at Trader Joe’s
there was not a great selection of red florals that day.
I had remembered the candy that I purchased a few days earlier
were pink and purple Dove hearts…
so that sealed the deal on the colors of
the flowers for today’s arrangement.
You may have noticed that there are
more than just flowers in the arrangement.
I found some heart shaped lollipops and I attached
them to large floral picks (with floral tape).
As I was setting the table, I realized
that this was the first tablescape I created
in the newly wallpapered dining room!
Oh how I love the new look of this room.
Wallpaper is Hydrangea Drape by Schumacher.
Plate stack on a gold charger topped with
a Crown Linen Designs Victorian Large Napkin.
Gold beaded flower napkin ring by Bombay Co.
I found these $1.00 boxes of Valentine’s Day
chocolates at the grocery store and thought
they would make great little “parting” gifts
and a place card could be easily attached
to these boxes OR, you can create your own
heart shaped message and place over the top
of the candy box,
which I plan to do.
This year my mom will be here for
Valentine’s Day as she will be staying with us
for two months. I shall take that time to
enjoy every minute with her. She is a JOY!
Hope you enjoyed my Valentine’s Day Tablescape.
The very first one in my newly decorated
dining room. Well, I should say, partially
decorated as the wallpaper created that
“domino effect” and I am on the hunt for
some pieces to place on each side of the fireplace.
Now it is time for some fabulous
Valentine’s Day inspiration from my
dear flower loving friends.

their most beautiful images. Enjoy!!!

Beautiful Shirley! I’ve always loved Royal Albert Old Country Roses! It’s makes for such a pretty table and your bowl is the perfect vessel for your flowers. I love the sweet addition of the heart lollies too. What a treat to see your newly wallpapered dining room. I know you won’t rest until the ‘domino effect’ is resolved and you have a new treasure from your favorite consignment store to fill in the spaces. ‘-) Enjoy this time with your sweet mom and February to you. ♥
Gorgeous, Shirley. I love the colors of your flowers and the mixture of tulips, stock, and alstroemeria is so pleasing.
Your china is indeed lovely. How beautiful your Crown Linen designs napkin is with the pretty napkin ring. Your styling and photos are top-notch.
I am happy for you to have your mother for a nice visit. Enjoy.
Shirley, the Schumacher wallpaper is stunning! When I first saw it on IG, I was totally smitten. The flowers that you chose…the pink spray roses, pink tulips, and lavender stock are so beautiful in the Royal Albert bowl. I agree with Mary, I have always loved the Old Country Roses pattern, so perfect for a Valentine’s setting. The Crown Linens placemats and napkins complete your beautiful table setting. I know you will enjoy this time with your mom, what a blessing to have her. It is always a great pleasure to share Monday Morning Blooms with you. Happy February!
What a beautiful setting! The flowers and linens are exquisite. You’re wallpaper is absolutely stunning…I am so glad to see papers making a comeback. And what a lovely blessing to have your mother with you for such a nice visit, I can only imagine how excited you both must be !
What a beautiful arrangement! Love the new wallpaper! I am happy for your time with your Mom!
Love your flower arrangement. Your table setting is beautiful.💖
I love the soft pinks and purple Shirley! The arrangement is gorgeous with the gold accents in your dining room…such a gorgeous table and plate stack! The Royal Albert bowl is quite breathtaking. Happy February and I know you will have a wonderful time with your Mom~
LOVE THIS!!! Valentine’s has always been one of my favorite times to entertain. The table arrangements are gorgeous!!!
Shirley, your dining room is stunning! This is one of my favorite wallpaper patterns. It just made the room! Your tablescape is so beautiful with that pretty china and gorgeous floral arrangement. Old Country Roses is one of my favorite china patterns. I gifted my mom a set this year for Christmas as she had always admired it. I think it will be fun finding new pieces to add to the collection. I know you are excited for your sweet mom to visit. Enjoy your time together! Take care, and have a most beautiful day!
Oh, how fresh! Just what my January tired eyes needed on this first day of February, Shirley! Your new wallpaper is beautiful. Your designer’s eye made a gorgeous floral display out of the soothing pinks and purples.
This is just gorgeous and I love that it’s a departure from Valentine’s Day red. How lucky to have your mother with you for such a long visit!
This is a gorgeous Valentine’s table arrangement, Shirley. I LOVE the colors!!!! So soft and pretty. I am so happy for you that you will have your Mom with you for 2 wh\ole months!!! Yesterday was 30 years since my Mom left us. We were BOTH too young. Have a beautiful week my friend.
Shirley, your floral arrangement is so beautiful — as are your lovely dishes and napkins! How nice to find your post this morning and view your gorgeous flowers! We have so much snow here! With all the tight covid restrictions, there are no flowers to be had as they are not an “essential” item. It will be so nice to be able to get flowers again. There’s nothing like beautiful fresh flowers.
So nice that you will have your dear Mom with you. I know you will have such a nice time with her.
Have a wonderful week! Blessings!
Shirley, your new wallpaper adds such beauty to your already stunning dining room! Love the floral arrangement w/ it’s soft colors & equally as lovely container. We have the same peacock/peahen art in our parlor–I love that piece w/ it’s old world charm! You will have such a wonderful time during your mom’s visit–sure wish my mom was still w/ me. Hugs!
Beautiful arrangement, love the colors! Your wallpaper is stately and elegant. Beautiful table!
Shirley, the wallpaper addition to your dining room is the perfect finish to a gorgeous room! It is beautiful! Happy Valentine’s Day.
Beautiful Shirley! This is such a pretty table and your bowl is perfect vessel for your flowers. I am sure that your sweet mama will enjoy all this so much too! Enjoy this time with your mom – it’s always a treat to join you for our beloved Monday Morning Blooms.
Shirley your Valentine table is just beautiful! The China pattern is a favorite and the use of lollipops is very creative, love the flower choices well done 👏! Love the wallpaper too! Differently knocked it out of the park for this edition of Monday morning blooms.
Exquisite! I enjoyed stopping by and seeing your stunning table. Along with your wallpaper!
Treasure every moment with your Momma!
Such a beautiful table setting. I Just sold my whole old English Rose Collection when we moved. Down sizing, and no space. Love your flowers!
Wow– that is such a feminine and stunning arrangement. And it has all of my favorites. This is Spring in flower form.
