Romance and Valentines...

I pulled out my Valentine things to put around the house. I wanted to try to make it more romantic tho not just Valentiney. This is what you see coming up to my front door.


Many of you saw this last year. I just threw it together. But I loved the combo so much Ive decided to do it every year. Its just Halloween costume angel wings and a feather heart wreath. 


Some of the Valentines at my door. LOVE is the season :)


My spring centerpiece updated with a big heart for Valentines day.


View of the whole decorated area of the hutch for Valentines day.
Lower part on top of chinese wine cabinet, many of my blue and white pieces. In the center a heart shaped blue and white pie plate. Below it a pierced white milk glass dish with a small berry heart.
One of the shelves...Has an antique rose bowl almost 100yrs old., a green depression glass fruit bowl filled with roses and a fan.
Center shelf on the hutch Has a floral filled heart basket, a pretty fan and my Lefton Americana Rose sugar and creamer.


 The apothecary jar has been changed too. Still has the flameless candle but is filled with a heart garland that spills onto the counter and breaks into many tiny glass hearts.


This is on my living room table. There's  a pink glass rose container filled with rose potpourri. Next to it is a small red satin heart box from one of my first valentines Kurt gave me. The other things were there already so I just sprinkled some glass hearts around. 


 This is my dresser in my bedroom. I wanted to make a romantic topping for my bedroom. Its perfect for Valentines day but also for all year round.


The lamp has long beaded fringe which I just love to play with. And the tray on the bottom of it is very Art Nouveau looking. I filled the tray part with a sweet rose teapot filled with rose potpourri. Leaning against it is some of the rocks Ive found that are heart shaped.


That photo is my grandparents wedding photo. Both are gone now but they married in 1921. I always have that photo somewhere in my bedroom wherever I live. the brass piece lying on the doily is an old tussie mussie holder. I love those and bought it long ago in the hopes that my daughters wedding bouquet would be made and put in there. She eloped. :(  But it has beautiful relief grapes and vines and I was told its a rare piece.
