Valentines Table with Christmas Decor

This Sunday I hosted a dinner party in honor of our Daughter and Grandmothers Birthdays.  




Between Church, Catechism and our usual Sunday routine, it left us with 2 hours to clean the house,





cook dinner for twelve and set the table.




 Most importantly, set the table. 




I didn't prepare ahead.
I had to use what I had on hand.  




There was no time to panic.
I thought maybe I could pull off a Valentines Day theme by using some of my red Christmas Decor.




 It was quick, easy, cost nothing and appeared to be thought out.




Even Murphie (who can't resist a sunny corner in the dining room) dressed up to match.
The kids are excited about having "Valentines" decorations.
Do you decorate for Valentines Day?  

Linking up to The Stories of A2Z Valentines Party.

    I love the white dishes and serving tray you've used for the centerpiece here - and I noticed that you have used this serving tray in past projects as well - would you mind my asking who the supplier is?
