The roses of the valley may wither,
The flowers of the forest decay,
But our friendship shall last forever
Though all things fade away.
The February page on my calendar is a beautiful painting of pink roses.
Grace and I went to an estate sale a few weeks ago and found this hand crocheted tablecloth. It was priced at $75.00 but we went on Sunday afternoon right before closing at got it for *much* less!
Be my Valentine,
My heart is yours.
A close-up of the pattern.
I filled this small glass basket up with pink carnations. I bought them over a week ago and they still look fresh.
May the hand of time
Never blot out these words:
"Forget me not."
I found these pink clover napkins on clearance at Target. They will be perfect for Valentine's day and well as through the spring and summer.
I put one of the napkins on the coffee table and added three small candles, that I got at the dollar store.
Remember me,
As I will thee.
I got this next idea from my friend, Susan over at A Place Called Home.
She made a beautiful Valentine Banner and I thought I would
I used cardstock, gold doily hearts and stickers. I printed the letters for "Be Mine" on printer paper and cut them out.
Thanks for looking at my Valentine decorations!

Very beautiful, simple decorations. What calendar do you have? I love the picture in it.
They are great! I love that banner...very cute idea. Have a great day!
Kelli...just beautiful!! I love the table cloth!! I've never been to an estate sale. My impulse spending would be in over-drive for sure!!
Kelli, I love your decorations!! You decorate you tastefully. I think you should consider putting together a book or something. You are very creative!!

I usually don't decorate much for Valentine's but love your simple ideas. I think I will be doing the banner also. Thanks!
Kelli -
Your table cloth is gorgeous -- **what a find!** :o) And I love your Valentine decor. I'm struck by how different your banner looks from Susan's (both quite lovely!). It's fun how we can share ideas but add our own creativity to make it unique! :o)
All are beautiful, but I so love that hand crocheted tablecloth.
I wish we had access to more estate sales around here. Methinks some people, in the business, simply go to places and buy up all which would have been sold in estate sales. And then they sell the things, in their own way. *pout* Thus cutting out fun for me. *repeat pout*
And all you ladies are so talented, with making things like your Valentine Banner. I love it that you do. Even tho I never try. :-)

You always display such lovely and elegant treasures. I love the tablecloth!

Your crocheted tablecloth is a real treasure! You've added so many beautiful and homey touches to brighten your home!
You certainly have a gift for home decor!
hugs!
Great bargain on the table cloth. Beautiful, too. Enjoyed seeing your Valentine decorations and reading the poems you inserted.
Everything is so beautiful. I, too, love the tablecloth.
I found Target cloth napkins (Shabby Chic) at a Goodwill last year. For some reason, they didn't sell so I was able to get them at the half-price sale day for 50 cents each.
I bought a lot of them, sending half to my daughter. She ended up making pillows with some of them for herself and a friend! Of course, then she asked if I'd send some more of mine so she'd have napkins again.
I was so impressed by her creativity that I did just that. :)
LOVE your ideas and your pictures.
Kelli, What beautiful decorations! Thank you for sharing with us.
Take a peek at my page. I have a post titled "This is for Kelli".
Oh Kelli, it's always a pleasure to visit your blog! Thanks for sharing your Valentine decorations! I especially LOVE your pretty banner! A banner is on top of my to-do list since long... I would love to create a crazy quilt banner with my nostalgic fabrics...
Now I have to go over to that other blog and st... no... borrow that idea as well!
Hi Kelli:-) Leave it to you to have such wonderful Valentine decorations throughout your home!! Everything looks just beautiful! That banner is such a terrific idea and love that tablecloth you were able to get at the estate sale!! Hugs xox
Your Valentine decorations are lovely. The pink carnations in the bowl are espcially pretty. Hmmm.....I decorate my home for fall, Christmas, January it's snowmen, and then I go all out for the patriotic season (Memorial Day -Independence Day), how is that I've never really decorated for Valentine's Day???? Me thinks it's time to rememdy that!!

Kelli,
Thank you for the beautiful Valentine card, it was such a wonderful surprise. I must have behaved today as Corin gave it to me :-D
I really love that crocheted table cloth. I have one that my grandma crocheted that is similar in vintage, but different pattern. That's a really lovely one!
