Mary, you make every holiday a treat for the eyes and taste buds too!….I saw that chandelier candelabra and walked right passed it…but not you, you always find a way to use things in different ways…I can see you looking at it on the shelf and the wheels are turning and you instantly have a vision…the teapot, the cups, are spectacular. I remember my first flower arranging glass a bazillion years ago was making an arrangement in a tea cup. I bet I still have that teacup…somewhere… :) Love seeing the tree again in the background and if Punxsutawney Phil is right, you may be taking down the tree sooner than later :( as he predicted an early Spring and already we are feeling the warmer temps…:)
It is a great pleasure to participate with you for Monday Morning Blooms…my favorite Mondays! Have a wonderful week Mary!
Oh my! You are certainly a master of flower arrangements as these are gorgeous and stunning! Happy Valentine’s Day!💖🌹🌸🌷
Mary, Your Valentine’s teapot and teacups are beautiful! I can only imagine what a treat it would be to join you for a Valentine’s Day tea. I’m going to be on the look out for a chandelier dessert stand next time I’m in HomeGoods!
Mary, Your flower arrangements keep getting more beautiful! I love all the shades of pink and reds that are paired so perfectly. The little heart picks are such a sweet touch and your chandelier stand makes such a statement on your table. Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us. 💕🌸🌹💗🌺
Could you please show photos of the finished table setting when you do post. It would help give better ideas how to use arrangements. Thanks
I’m sharing the table tomorrow. :)
Gosh, Mary, you’re a never-ending resource of ideas. Love how each teacup looks different, and I thought for sure you were adding food to the cupcake stand, but those flowers are a real showstopper on it!
Mary, your teapot and teacup arrangements are so beautiful! Oh how I wish I was close to a Home Goods to be able to find such lovelies as the chandelier stand, perfect for sweet treats. I can’t wait to see the full table tomorrow and take my virtual seat. Spending Monday Morning Blooms with you is always a pleasure❤️🌹❤️
Oh I hope my invitation is in today’s mail Mary…! :) Your flowers are beautiful along with your collection of pretty teacups!
Mary, your arrangement is so creative and lovely as usual. A few years ago I picked up my mother-in-law and a couple of her friends at the retirement home and brought them to my house for a Valentine lunch with me and a couple of my friends. We had the usual ladies lunch fare with Southern Living’s molded chicken salad, etc., a chocolate dessert and ending with little liqueur glasses of chocolate wine and take home favors. They loved it. It is especially nice to remember the older ladies whose ”sweethearts “ are no longer here to do it. My husband always got his mom a box of candy for Valentines until we lost her last year.
Beautiful! You must have an IN with your local Home Goods..every time I go, never find anything that lovely…but..lucky you!! Tea cups are a great idea…can’t wait to see the finished table…❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️
Thank you Ellen :) No, I just stop in a few times a week. I’m lucky that there is one close by on my way to run errands, grocery store, etc. They don’t carry a lot of the same item and have a lot of turn over so you have to check frequently.
Very pretty and elegant Mary! I ♥love♥ the blingy little hearts:@)
Wonderful flower therapy Mary! Love the little red heart sticks, so cute! The dessert server is fantastic, and the teacups are irresistible! Sooooo so pretty, I can’t wait to see the whole table! Flowers make everything better!

The teapot and each little teacup are perfect, darling Valentine arrangements, Mary. The chandelier dessert stand is stunning for the centerpiece! You make everything look beautiful, and I always appreciate your how-to’s and tips. xo
You never cease to amaze me with your talents! Are you sure you never worked in a florist? Thank you for all your fabulous ideas (I made your sweet and salty candy coated popcorn yesterday — it was a big hit)
Thank you Kate! I’m glad it was a hit! ♥
I always appreciate your flower arranging tips Mary. Your flowers are beautiful! I wasn’t familiar with the waterproof clear tape so thank you for sharing that tip. It will come in handy when I do flower arrangements for my ladies Bible study. Joy
I am so day for this pop of color and beautiful teapot arrangements. Thank you for brightening our dreary day.
I do hope you will create a Mardi Gras tablescape before Lent.
Hi Gayle, I have a Mardi Gras table here from several years ago that you might get some ideas from: https://homeiswheretheboatis.net/2013/02/06/a-pre-mardi-gras-celebration/
Thank you, these are perfect ideas.
Your flowers in the teapot is a beautiful display by itself…but you literally elevated the whole floral arrangement with your so lovely tiered cake server! WOW! I love it! Thank You for sharing!
Thanks for brightening my day on this gloomy Monday!❤️
Absolutely beautiful! I love the way you set the teacups on the stand with the teapot filled with flowers.
” HEARTS!” franki
I adore the teacups with the exquisite miniature arrangements! And the heart pick from HL is perfect. I will be picking up some of that clear tape for sure. I have fallen down a rabbit hole watching YouTube videos with J Schwanke, a florist. He is so talented and a great floral instructor. I’m home sick, and he has been my entertainment! Beautiful job using the tiered stand too, Mary!
So pretty, Mary. I love your vintage pastel chenille cloth to show off your pretty flower arrangements. That chandelier cake stand is delightful. Swooning over your teacups brimming with flowers. Very lovely, Mary.
Sorry, I have been out of the loop and missed a month of blogging being sick and mourning my brother-in-law and a friend.
I am in love with this centerpiece! Every time I come to visit you give us the How To’s to make such wonderful beauty in our own homes. I am just sitting back and gazing at your tea cup centerpiece! Oh so beautiful my friend! 💗
I am so Thankful for your blog it makes Monday morning at work so much easier to get through.
Lovely! Please tell me more about the many red dinnerware, china you use. Red is hard to fine.
Educate me, please.
Hi Nan, Are you referring to the red dishes in my header image? All the details can be found in a Valentine’s Day table round-up, here: https://homeiswheretheboatis.net/2019/01/30/valentines-day-tablescapes-and-centerpieces-to-love/
Click on the links on whatever post you’re interested in and it will take you to all the table sources and details. ♥
Wow ! Such a creative use of the beautiful chandelier dessert stand !
Your photos are gorgeous !
Thank you for sharing your creativity on the blog !
Another stunner Mary. Your inspiration is bottom-less and it is always a pleasure to see the behind the scenes of a beautiful arrangement. Your photos are amazing and show the finest details. Can’t wait to see the tablescape tomorrow. Kari @ Me and My Captain
Mary, What beautiful arrangements! I’ve seen the dessert stands @Home Goods before but never saw anything more than a food server. Thank you for enlightening me! I’ve never seen the clear floral tape & must add that to my supplies. The heart pick adds a sweet finishing touch to the colorful blooms. Looking forward to seeing your tablescape tomorrow. Happy Monday! 💕🌷🌹❤️ Clara
Mary, this is just divine! I love the stand, it truly takes your floral arrangements over the top! The colors are all so sweet, and you are the queen of details. I’ll be at your table tomorrow, if only virtually, my dear friend. What a joy it is to spend our Monday Morning Blooms together. xo Lidy
I really enjoy that you do such beautiful presentations for Valentine’s Day! It’s always such a nice pop of colors right before spring makes an appearance. When shopping, I passed up on the hearts-on-a-stick because I couldn’t think of where I might use them. Thank you for showing a way to make them an added dimension to the centerpiece floral arrangement (there’s always next year!). Of course, I cannot leave a comment without mentioning the incredibly cute dog sweaters in the header of your post. Adorable heart theme…it’s perfect!
Absolutely gorgeous flower displays! I have to go to Homegoods and see if I can find that dessert stand. Thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your posts to show up in my email.
As always, simply beautiful, Mary. Thanks for making my Monday!
Another show-stopper! Those hearts on the stick are too cute and I love the delicate pattern on your tea cups. Thanks for telling us about the clear tape, it’s so much better than the green. How smart of you to elevate the flowers on your new versatile food/flower stand! I just remembered, I need to bring out my small heart shaped teaspoons I purchased after seeing yours. I can’t wait for tomorrow, I like orange spice tea or apple cinnamon please.😉
How pretty! I love arranging flowers too, yours are stunning!
Mary what a gorgeous post.
Thank You for sharing
Marion
The flowers are lovely. The table setting is breath taking.
Marilyn
The flowers,food,tea cups what a lovely post.
Joan
What a smart idea to use the cupcake holder for all the lovely arrangements! Beautiful! Would love to have you join us at Homestyle Gathering tomorrow, by way of My Wee Abode! Thank you for sharing, Mary!
Every single thing is gorgeous. The flowers, the teacups, the stand, the teapot and the very idea of using the cake stand to display the teapot and teacups together: fantastic
Your teacup florals remind me of a gift I received when our 3rd. daughter was born. A beautiful chinz tea cup and saucer with a small potted violet inside. I loved it then and now!
You have made Valentine decorating so charming and fun in so many ways everyone wins.
Thank You.
Beautiful pictures as always – the teacups remind me of my Mother, who would love to have gone to a tea party!!!
Mary, you are the master at spotting something different and then using it in the most clever way. The chandileer dessert stand is perfect to hold these darling tea themed flower arrangements. I use my cups, mugs, gravy boats, tureens, teapots, . . . anything of interest gets filled with flowers around here. My Courtly Check gravy boat is filled with white camalias at the moment. It’s shallow body is perfect for these short stems.
Thanks for sharing the inspiration. I look forward to tomorrows post!
Gorgeous centerpieces…..I am so inspired!
Love your centerpiece. It’s so gorgeous!
Can you tell me the manufacturer of the dessert tiered chandelier. I just love it! Thanks.
Thanks Annette, it’s by Opulent Treasures. They make several versions of it. This one is their ‘Rosebud Dessert Stand’.
