VALENTINE VIGNETTE

I created a little Valentine display on the piano in the sun room.

VALENTINES IN THE MAILBOX

At our house, mailboxes are already overflowing with Valentine's cards.

BE MY VALENTINE

On this Valentine's Day,

I just want to say..



DECORATING WITH VALENTINE CARDS

To add more Valentine décor to the family room, I opened the doors to the hutch and stuffed Valentine cards in front of the china I already store in this hutch.

VALENTINE DECOR GALORE!

The shelves in the family room display some Valentine love.

FRIDAY FAVES-VALENTINE LOVE

This and That

I have the BEST Valentine parties, if I do say so myself.

FRIDAY FAVES-A VALENTINE EDITION

I've already mentioned that I really like vintage Valentine cards.  So, for Friday Faves, I'm posting more Valentine card decor.  

VINTAGE VALENTINE LOVE

If you saw our mantel, decorated for Valentine's Day, you probably already know that I like vintage Valentine cards.

MORE VALENTINE DECORATING

Some of you may remember Tartan Town at Christmas time.  There's going to be a wedding in Tartan Town, so it has transformed into Tartan Town of "Luv".

A VALENTINE MANTEL

It has taken me so long to get the New Year's decor off of our mantel.  So, I decided to go straight to Valentine decor.

VALENTINE VIGNETTE IN A BOX

For a Valentine vignette, I gathered some symbols of love.

VALENTINE PAR-TAY!

I know your mailbox has been overflowing with Valentines.

MORE VALENTINES

In the study, there are Valentine cards on the piano.  Last year, I got the “LOVE” blocks in the $ bin at Target, and I added a clothespin to the back of each block, so I could display cards on them.

VALENTINE PARTY ANNOUNCEMENT

For the past four years, I’ve hosted a Valentine Party Linkup at Bargain Decorating with Laurie. 

PAR-TAY TIME!

Welcome to my annual Valentine party. 

I toad you it’s time for us to have a Valentine’s Party!

I’m serving a box lunch for my friends – just to let them know that I “heart” them.

So, come on in and get a boxed lunch, my friend.

Be sure to get your napkins.  the larger, red one is to put in your lap, so your boxed lunch won’t get your clothes messed up.  The smaller white one is to dab your mouth and fingers.

Don’t forget to get something to drink.

You can come back later for an “after lunch” mint.

Go ahead.  Open your box and help yourself to some lunch.




Let’s get this par-tay started by going to visit the links shown below.  This is my fourth year to host this Valentine party, and I can promise you, you don’t want to miss seeing any of these links.  I am also partying with A Stroll Thru Life for the Valentine Cloche Party and Décor to Adore for a Valentine Party.  I’m so glad you attended the par-tay!  laurie
 

OOOPS! I DO HAVE A FEW MORE VALENTINES

I know I told you I didn’t have any more Valentine cards to put anywhere in my home.  Ummm (hanging head), I forgot I have just a few on the buffet in the sunroom.  I’m linking this buffet (with the shameful few Valentine cards) to Table Top Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life.





Go to A Stroll Thru Life to find more table top links.  Thank you for coming to visit, even though I previously promised I wouldn’t show any more Valentine cards.  I hope you’ll be at my Valentine linky party on February 11th.  laurie

THE LAST OF THE VALENTINE CARDS (I think)

If you’re tired of seeing my Valentine card collection, you can now rejoice, because this is my last Valentine card décor post this year (I’m almost sure).  I am partying at A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday.

I really only have a few cards displayed on the buffet behind our sofa.







You can’t count the Queen of Hearts as a Valentine card, right?

Anything placed on this buffet is visible from both sides, so, the Queen of Hearts is backed by the King of Hearts (also not a Valentine card).


I previously shared my “snow birds mantel”.  I wasn’t ready to let my snow birds fly away, so, guess what I added to decorate my mantel for Valentine’s Day.  I’m sure you guessed correctly.  (I’m so predictable.)   I added Valentine cards!  
 



I also added Mr. and Miss Penguin, dressed for their Valentine’s date.

I hope I’ll see you here for my Valentine party on February 11th!  I’m almost finished with my blog overload of Valentine cards, so please do come back to visit soon.

(Update on our grandson, Cooper:  He is improving daily.  Although he’s still on oxygen and will be for months, all of his signs are really good.  Recently, one of the nurses in the ICU remarked to my son, “I don’t know who you have praying for this baby, but tell them to keep it up, because they are doing an incredible job!”  YOU and GOD are doing an incredible job, so as the nurse said, please keep it up!  Thank you so much.  laurie)
