Valentine's Day Decor

Well, you caught me again. It's snowy outside...not to mention COLD, which I hate, so I am inside, nice a cozy whipping out crafts for Valentine's Day.

I brought out an antique pitcher. Starched my vintage Valentine hankies and stuffed them gently inside. Don't they look whimsical?

I purchased this cute Cupid's Best Love Potion #99 decor at my local antique mall. I just thought it was well done, whimsical and the price was right. 

I thought that I would make fun hang tags for my snowflake twig tree. They could share the space with the snowflakes since it's cold here during Valentine's. I downloaded graphics from The Graphics Fairy and made these cute two sided tags by printing onto old book pages.

They say things that I love. Such as Hope, My Kids, Family, My Hubby, Antiques, Joy, Love, Pedicures, Thrift Stores, Painting, God, Blogging and Garage Sales. I then took my scalloped punch, punched them out and put them back to back with a ribbon in-between. They look like this on the twig tree. Super easy if you are good with manipulating graphics on your computer.



Then I decided to go through my collection of antique postcards. I found one that I really liked but wouldn't mind making over. I used old songbook pages, lace, ribbon, glitter and a little bling and combined them all to come up with this.


Lastly, I took a picture of this rose hanging in my laundry room...just for you!

Please feel free to click on any picture to enlarge it to see the detail better. Terry

  13. You could have had me at just the hankies in the pitcher Terry. I think they are just lovely and what a clever way to display them. Then you went on and showed me all of the cute things you made for the tree. Now I will want a tree! Too many cute things you have made. I adore the lacey card. How fun. Thanks for sharing all of your great talent. ( I went to the Graphics Fairy today too to find some Valentine's stuff!)
