Winter Window Candlescape with a little bit of Love!

Christmas may be over but it's still winter so I changed our bay window to a winter candlescape theme.

My, little, white sled, an assortment of votives and some shiny green leaves, from our camellia tree, were the beginnings of the creation for the new look. 
Red and white are almost always my go to colors. 

Our, old, white painted, fireplace screen adds an interesting depth to the background in the window.

I love a red berry wreath especially when adorned with hearts.

The owl that was on display as a part of the window's Christmas decor is sticking around for the rest of winter. He's just too cute to put away!

An inverted ironstone compote with a red transferware plate created an interesting base for the vignette on top.

Red transferware saucers are placed underneath  many of the votives.

Candles are always just so romantic any ole time of the year.

Epsom salt covers the outside of this votive jar.

A canvas banner of love made it's debut again for Valentine's day.

I think the white rustic crate really makes a great impact to the overall setting.

Another piece of transferware is tucked inside the hanging lantern for a little surprise.

A bouquet of miniature silk roses hangs in a spot that needed just a little something.

 The Waterford heart came from one of my sweet girls for Christmas several years ago. It always makes me sigh when I come across it every year!
I'm looking forward to creating a new tablescape and celebrating an extra special day of  "Love" this year.

A Little LOVE on a Banner and Vintage Suitcases in our Bay Window

We really are lucky to have found our house for it, truly, has some great features and the bay window in our kitchen is definitely one of them!

There hasn't been a display in this window that I haven't fallen in love with, yet and this Valentine's day one can be added to my list.
 A "Country Living" tablecloth was used for the decorative base.

A Valentine snow couple, a pair of salt dough hearts and faux silk roses (which come in real handy when real ones are not an option) create the vintage suitcase vignette.

The red rose, shadow box, framed heart was an Etsy find and the plaque was a $2 Goodwill score.

The shabby ribbon, adorning the votive, is left over fabric from place mats that I recently made. A flower in the shape of a heart was made from five, silk, rose petals, a tiny rose bud with a few faux leaves and a single pearl. It added a little "pop of red" to the heart, grapevine wreath.
My girls are "loves of my life!"

The "no sew" banner of Love couldn't have been easier to make. Scissors, some canvas, craft paint, a stencil and hot glue were used to make the letters...a clothesline rope suspends it and some jute twine with hand stamped ribbons accent it on the ends and in between...easy peasy!

Then I was worried that the tablecloth would fade from being exposed to the amount of light that it would be getting here, on a daily basis, and I decided to make a bit of a change.

This vintage, crocheted, table cover is in the window, now...

and I made a few changes on top of the suitcases, too.

Love birds in a winter nest and a single, faux rosebud that came from the bouquet in the milk glass vase created the final display.

And there's one last thing that I love about the change, with using the crocheted tablecloth, is that I love the way it hides a very distracting receptacle outlet!

A Valentine Vignette on My Favorite Red Shabby Washstand


As you are probably seeing I am on a roll with my Valentine's 
projects and decor. They're actually all done, it's just the photo editing and posts that have to be completed.  

This is my "Shabby Glam Washstand" with it's Valentine vignette. If you'd like to see the original post you can see it  here.

This is the little banner that I made for last year's terrarium of love. I like it on the chippy, old shutters.


A vintage, brass, heart easel and tri-fold, laser cut valentine....LOVE!

My mother's heart locket was her special gift from my dad.

A 1940's memory of love!

Today, I will be spending a few hours working on the decor for our Valentine's Day Party in the "clubhouse".....this is our advertising poster, that I made, to give all a little peek at what's to come.
We did a few projects for the New Year's Celebration and a whole lot more for this one.....it's gonna be "over the top!"
I promise to share all of the details from the night of the 14th.....I'm gonna need a few days to edit pics and write all about it. It's gonna be a long picture filled post!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

White Rose Wreath with Pearls

Wreath making resumed today and this is another one that I will be taking in to the shop in hopes that someone will like it enough to buy it!


I think that it's perfect for the romance of Valentine's Day, a wedding or anniversary. I, certainly, would display it year 'round!

Pearls and roses just always make me say...."ah-hh!"

I stamped the ribbon banner with a phrase of love and added the scripted butterflies for an added touch of whimsy.
It's a one of a kind, but I just might have to make a few more!

And it's Friday night, my date night, our night for romance to celebrate the end of my honey's long, work week :) I'll be making more hearts and working on more posts of love and romance with lots of decor to share. 
Wishing you a wonderful, relaxing weekend!
