Sometime over the weekend I was also able to continue taking out my Valentine decorations. I don't usually do a whole lot in regards to Valentine's Day decorating but, I do like to put a few things around the house.
I loved the look but knew it was time to get rid of the Christmas dishes and move on. Valentine's Day is a nice transition time. It only lasts a few weeks and adds some color at a quite often dreary time of the year.
Most everything I used to fill and decorate the hutch with was something I had in my collection of "things". I am usually a use-what-you-have kind of girl :). However, I had purchased this Valentine heart wreath from the Dollar Store a few weeks ago. I was going to try a craft I had seen on my friend, Amber's, Follow the Yellow Brick Home blog but, I never got around to doing the craft so, I used the wreath here. (I still hope to do that craft...one day.)
I made these hand-embroidered felt hearts a while ago. I think they're kind of neat so they just had to be part of my Valentine décor.
Next, I went looking in my stash for anything white, pink, red or silver to put in the cabinet. Then, I started loading away!
I love collecting plates. I have found this addiction has come in handy when I want to add a little something here and there around the house.
After the plates, it was time to add some whimsy and fun...in a Valentine's way~
I know these decorations will be displayed for only a short time but, Valentine's Day is such a "sweet" holiday, why not have some fun in the middle of the winter and play around with it?!
I have to admit I am a sucker for Valentine's Day, anyway. A holiday celebrating love...what could be better?
XOXO!
