Disclaimer: If the pictures are out of focus, I apologize. I just got back from the Ophthalmologist where I had my eyes dilated for the exam (you know how much fun that is.....) I can hardly see but the sun is finally out after several days of wet, gray weather [which is a blessing and a curse when your pupils are enormous but you are enduring a severe drought and need rain] - anyway, it was now or never to get pictures of the table. I can't wait to see what the blog and the table look like tomorrow when I can see.......

I will be thinking of spring for the rest of the day!! Beautiful yellow and white tablescape. My daffodils that I have in pots have finished blooming. They were wonderful while they lasted.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really beautiful table! I love the use of yellow & daffodils!!
ReplyDeleteI love non-traditional tables...this one is beautiful. Makes me wish we were a little closer to spring when the daffodils are blossoming!

How do you always get it so right?! This table just shouts:"Hi, everyone! Have a wonderful day full of happy colors and love!" Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (and I love your flatware!) Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely. Yellow was such a unique idea for Valentine's Day, but it is just perfect and so romantic. I especially like the daffodils which give me hope that SOMEDAY Spring will come! Thank you for sharing your beautiful table.
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of yellow for Valentine's Day but why not ? this table is so bright and welcoming I love yellow did you paint the little heart boxes? they did not come in yellow already did they?
