Sweet Dining for Two

In a Pink Kind of Mood

002 Hello Friends, You are invited in to my table setting just for my sweet husband and myself. We celebrated our anniversary last week and dined out but I also set a table at home for us.

I definitely felt in kind of a pink frame of mind.

003

005 These pink cabbage plates are among my favorites. I love the color!

025

011 I covered the birdcage, which I love, in a vine and surrounded it with my Fitz and Floyd parrots. I have had these beauties for years.

013

I found this crystal decanter in an antique shop some years ago. I love, love it.

015

019

020 I hope you enjoyed our table….we did. ;-)

Thanks so much for your visit today.

I am joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday

Sherry for Home Sweet Home

Beverly for Pink Saturday

Hi Barb, The pink setting looks so elegant and romantic. I haven't seen the cabbage plates in pink before-what a lovely change from just the green. Everything about your table says celebration; so Happy Belated Anniversary.
Enjoy the day today.

What a beautiful table you have set. It would be hard to find something like that dining out. Hope that dinner out was good and you enjoyed your anniversary celebration. Sometimes though there is just no place like home. Special touches like you have there do make a difference.

The pink and white china, crystal stemware, etc. are beautiful, but what "stole my heart" were the pink parrots and the birdcage!!!! They are gloriously gorgeous!!
