A Little Love Comin Your Way!

I L-O-V-E Valentines Day! I decorate for most holidays, but I love Valentine decorating because it gives you a chance for some bright color right in the middle of a grey winter and fills that void that always seems to be left after Christmas decorations are gone. 
I don't have a mantel (wish I did...but right now, we're wood stove people and you can't put anything on top of a wood stove), but I have a couple of shelves in my living room that I dedicate to seasonal decorating.
This "gate" is actually 2 pieces of wrought iron from planter boxes that I re purposed.
 

The wreath I made from squares of Valentine print fabric and a styrofoam heart.  The vase on the left is just a plain vase with 3 of those window "gel clings" stuck on them.....very temporary.  I made the beaded embellishment on the candle in the middle. It used to have green beads on it.  I threw some pearls in the bottom of it....pearls are so Valentine-ish don't ya think?

I saw this glass piece at Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago and I didn't hesitate to get it.  It happens to be the title to one of my favorite Bruce Springsteen songs and well....Bruce is Boss!...and "Two Hearts ARE Better Than One"!

The trio of hearts below is nothing more than a small glass photo frame with again, those "gel window clings" stuck on them.  (I love those things!) I assembled the candle on the right out of a small glass bowl, a little glass tea light holder, some beads, and I put it all in a pillar candle holder.  It's so pretty at night! 

This is a a shelf in my kitchen.....because I need a little love in there while I'm cookin up a little love! It's kind of hard to tell, but that heart plate is really sparkly.  The taper holder is from Italy and that card came from my good friend Deb, whom I used to play with in Montana.  I miss her and I like to look at it!

This springy looking thing I picked up in Jacksonville Tennessee and I use it year round.  It was such a fun find! It looks great with Christmas ornaments in it too!  The capize shell heart w/ pearl string is about 5 feet long and I picked it up at a global market place.  This is an oil candle that I just can't make myself light!!

                                           

So that's about it for Valentines Decor at my house right now.  But I am working on one more project.......I'm just sayin!!!!!
