Valentine's Day Mantel & a Heart Giveaway

After realizing how many hearts were on our Valentine's Day Mantel I thought it might be fun for you to  find "how many" hearts are in this post to win this prize.
I will be giving away my grapevine, "sweater heart wreath" to one sharp winner!

Note: there are LOTS of hearts and some sneaky ones, too.....the hearts on the garland swag and necklaces will not count (too many hearts within them) 
ALL other hearts in each photo of this post count...
Now, start counting and share this post with anyone that you think might like to have some fun and win my cute, little heart, too!

******************************************************************
Now, a look at our mantel...

The traditional red and white theme works best for our décor and both vintage and nostalgic items from our collections were added to create this year's Valentine Mantel theme.

Mom's vintage pitcher, white roses and grandma's brass paperweight take center stage.

Lots of hearts here!

more...more...more!

our ladder of love stands nearby

with a "shabby glam" heart wreath

and valentine's of love.

Two "love birds" perched on top of a valentine treasure.

A vintage valentine with yesteryear's favorites.

lots of hearts here!

A beaded heart trio hangs down one side.

Grandma's, red vintage, heart, ring box is a cherished keepsake with a new photo of me and my girls...LOVE!
  The closest guess ( ALL hearts in every photo) wins....Good Luck!


Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP

A Birthday Celebration and Some Borrowed Dishes!

My daughter, Kaycie's, "28th" birthday was yesterday and it was time for a celebration!

A, last minute, dinner was decided on the morning of....and not wanting to just use my everyday dishes and being not quite ready to be done with summer, I decided to borrow these gorgeous, floral plates. They've been stacked in my guest room, waiting to be sold :)

Kaycie's "little face" was the center, of the table display, along with a "little, touch of glam!"


   "Great Grandma's" crystal and cherished utensils were a reminder that she was with us in heart!


Lighting just was not on my side, but a little "photo shop" helped...any of your photo tips would be 
immensely appreciated, here!


Family images to be cherished....FOREVER!!!






 We missed my oldest and her daughter, my #1 granddaughter....work nights stink! :( 




 Can't believe that no more cake pics were taken...what happened to my assistant?
Oh, he was "pooped" from another long, hard day!


Happy Birthday, Kaycie Leigh!!!

Love, Hugs & Kisses,

Mom

Til my next post....
Love & Hugs to you, too!
