One of my goals this year is blog just a bit more, my last entry was 2 weeks ago so I need to get serious about this goal. I'm really shooting for once a week, so let's see what happens. I was going to write my list of top ten creative adventures of last year, but I have decided it's a new year, I need to look ahead, not back. I'm going to share a few ideas we have brewing for this year that I am excited about. But first, I am so in the Valentine Day mood. I love to decorate and I was so excited to put together a sweet valentine vignette in my house to get us in the mood for love and I also just plain love the colors pink and red. Those colors just make me happy. I am also in the throes of planning my second annual Valentine Party and Cookie Exchange. The ideas are flowing!!
I made this wreath with sweet birds and vintage embellishments. I bought the yarn at DI for $1 and wrapped a straw wreath. Perfect for Valentine's don't you think? I love layering things and love the look of wreaths on top of mirrors.
I love Vintage Valentines and try and collect some every year. They are so sweet.
I bought this white urn at one of my favorite stores, Second Hand Chic in Salt Lake. I love it and can make it fit with any decor. I used it for Christmas and it is perfect here for Valentines. I just put in a vintage valentine, a pink glitter heart and a vintage silk rose. I also left the gold mercury beads from Christmas. They are just so pretty.I always love decorating with candy and filling them with the colors of the season always add a bold statement. I made the little pedestal stand with red gumballs on it. I purchased an old milk glass plate and found the silver candle holder at DI. With a little E6000 I made this cute platter.
This is my kitchen windowsill. I made the picture holder out of a vintage oil can, and bits of vintage lace, jewelry and buttons. A perfect place vintage romantic french postcards. I love the huge sucker and have one made for all 3 dotters for Valentines.Do you decorate for the holidays? What do you do for Valentines Day?
