A Vintage Romance

Hard to believe that it's actually February.

 I thought I just brought out the new calendar.

It looks like one more holiday will be here with no chance to decorate either house. Nothing like having 2 houses and both of them not in a place that I could put anything other than a bouquet or a box of chocolates. Which by the way, either of those would be fine with me. So instead I'm sharing some past photos for a little Valentine inspiration.

Creating a mini vignette under glass is a fun way to put together a little holiday focal point or centerpiece. A tiny iron urn with a vintage creamer full of roses and a vintage Valentine postcard become elevated and more eye-catching on the Entryway Console.

A fabric rose heart-shaped wreath is usually on the Entry way mirror.

My favorite way to decorate for any holiday is to incorporate vintage pieces to the mix. I do have a few vintage and antique Valentines and some candy boxes, but I like to use some of my collections, especially anything with pink or red and floral. Here I have a pitcher probably from the 40's or 50's with a pastel rose motif, filled with a small bouquet of faux flowers.

The Baker's Rack in the Kitchen Sitting Area 

has been a fun place to decorate for holidays.

A small red Toile coverlet always seems to make it into the Valentine decor.

My Moss Covered Heart that I made several years ago, has a Valentine satin ribbon anchoring it to my vintage mirror.

Other vintage pieces that have a romantic vibe can be made a little more "Holiday" 

by adding a specialty ribbon.

A Valentine's Day mantel several years ago,

 was a way to show off a few of my pastel vintage teapots.

I still have my big paned white chippy window,

 which was a versatile backdrop for every holiday grouping.

I'm hoping I can find a spot for it in the new Sun room.

And a little Tag Valentine made with vintage buttons.

Thanks for coming by,

Have a fun weekend!
