Musical Inclination ~ Romantic Valentines Day Table

Toile de Jouy, music, the Violin, English transferware, sentimental inherited items, poetry, antique linens, roses and lace...some of my favorite things are all gathered here for our 2011 Valentines Day table.  All of these things, to me, create an alluring table filled with romance, nostalgia, and love of music and family. I hope they bring some of the same feelings to you. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music. ~Ronald Reagan~ Music was my refuge.
