Happy Monday, Friends! Today I'm sharing a valentine vignette that was inspired by a recent gift I received, and it is sure to delight my fellow dishaholics out there...
![If you're a dishaholic like me, don't miss this valentine vignette inspired by a special gift! Transferware made in Spain](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qLafSUqU2Sk/XiYYCT_2jcI/AAAAAAACiak/8ZtNMM978zQjgE_5Qwn1iBKE4kNOGP0RgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/lead-Spanish-transferware.jpg)
I first met Darling Daughter-in-Law's mother, Maria, when she visited from Spain this time last year. Despite the fact that we speak different languages, we quickly bonded as in-laws, discovered similar interests, and of course, I took her thrifting. Maria understands that pretty plates are one of my love languages, and when she came to visit this year, she brought me a beautiful place setting from Seville, Spain--bubble wrapped in her carry-on bag! I knew we were kindred spirits!

The beautiful La Cartuja De Sevilla Rosa pattern dates back to 1841. When I saw it, I immediately thought of creating a valentine vignette.

... and added an English Meakin Royal Staffordshire creamer with fresh ivy. My vintage cupid was the finishing touch! Gracias, Maria!
