Love is in the Air

As Valentine's Day approaches, I put together a little Valentine's vignette to share with you. I don't have alot of Valentine's Day decorations, just a few things here & there.

I bought this little Dee Foust Cupid box this year. I love him!



The fact that he was adorned with gold presented a challenge to me...I don't have much in the way of gold decor. Then I remembered these candle holders that I bought from Michael's back around Christmas 2002. I dug them out & they were perfect.





Some Dollar Tree vases filled with heart picks (also from Dollar Tree) & red votives from Target several Christmases ago.

I framed a free subway art printable that I found on line (I wish I could remember where so I could give credit) and a vintage valentine. I added a glittery BE MINE sign from Hobby Lobby.

Of course, I topped it off with the felt heart wreath that I made. And there you have it...a Valentine's vignette!





I'll be linking this over at Marty's blog, A Stroll Thru Life, for Tablescape Tuesday. I'm also linking to Beth's blog, The Stories of A 2 Z for her Valentine's Day Mantel Party.





So tell me, have you done any decorating for Valentine's Day?

    Hi Gina, LOVE your mantel and especially the subway art framed. Looks great with the black too! I did buy a Valentine wreath/heart at Walmart but haven't put it on the front door, with all this cold weather and snow some Christmas decorations are still up out there:)
    Yours looks so nice!

    Super sweet vignette Gina! I just hung a love banner today and filled some jars with pretty candies. Doesn't look anywhere near as good as yours though. LOVE that little cupid! Can you link me up to where you got him?

    What a lovely vignette - just the right amount of red and gold and sweetness.
