  5. Oh Ginger, this is incredibly gorgeous! I love everything about this table AND your dining room. I don't even know where to start with this comment. First, I love your drapes, and I LOVE that sideboard. Your table looks so romantic. I hate to keep saying "love", but it is the season, and I do love the way you put those beautiful sheer runners on the table. The square floral plates are gorgeous. I CANNOT believe you got that spectacular coffer server for $5!!! I am green with envy. And how cute that giant champagne glass chiller is! I'm delighted that you linked all of this beauty to the party! Happy Valentine's Day! laurie

  13. Ms. Ginger this table is gorgeous! I adore the vintage Valentine cards. Me and my hubby were just talking yesterday about the old cards and how it's not fun for the kids anymore just writing names on these old store cards with stickers and remembering when we used to make all our friends cards. Times have changed.
    Anyway, lovely table and if you ever find that coffee server missing you'll know it's made it's way to Mississippi!
    Hug Sweet Old Bob for me and happy Valentines Day to you both!
