Ready for tomorrow night?  Thinking about how you can turn dinner for two into a festive event.  Biker Chick Jen Chesnick shows us how to decorate the table to make a romantic feast for two into a really special event using our Just Because collection.

Valentine Table Setting by Jen Chesnick

 

Happy Valentines Day!!  Have a special dinner planned for your sweetie?  I have some ideas for you that will help your spice up your table!  The first item on the table and most noticeable is the centerpiece. 

_MG_0409
_MG_0425I created a small scale banner using journaling tags, stickers and cut tags.  I've attached the banner on our new naturals collection jute along with the new naturals clothespins  
_MG_0403I had these ball jars handy so I filled them with candy to hold my dowels.  I wrapped them with some left over papers and shapes just to dress them up.

_MG_0419Flanking the banner are 3 simple square boxes.  I cut them out and lined the openings with vellum.  I dropped battery operated tea lights in them to pump up the romance factor! 

_MG_0432The menu stands could easily be swapped out for place cards.  My menu consists of cake and well maybe some more cake.

_MG_0402Small dressed up pockets complete my place setting.  Simple and sweet and easily adaptable for any occasion.
