"Show and Tell Friday!"

Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.

Hello everyone! Since Valentine's Day is next week, I thought I would share some decorations around my house.

I got the idea for this valentine centerpiece from my friend Susan, at A Place Called Home. She challenged us to use things we already had around the house in a recent scavenger hunt post.


I sprinkled pink rose petals on a white table runner and added a few pink candles.


In between the candles, I layered a cake plate, doily, teacup saucer, and another candle on top.


Earlier this afternoon, I swapped out the candle for a teacup and filled it with candy hearts.


The girls and Benjamin like this display the best. I wonder why. ;0)


In the kitchen I hung a heart garland in the window.


I used vellum paper, so the sun could shine through.


Moving on to the entryway, I added a valentine banner to my moss wreath.


"All for Love"


Did someone ask what time it is?


It's time to...Love!

Dawn from The Feathered Nest recently shared a sweet clock trinket that she made, and I borrowed her idea to make these cards.


I added a paper stand to the backs and these will be the place cards for our Valentine's Day dinner. Thank you for the idea, Dawn!


And lastly, I turned my vintage keys into napkin rings!


The tag says, "The key to my heart."

Thank you for looking at my valentine decorations!
