Sweet Bar...

To satisfy my sweet tooth,
in this,
the sweetest of all months...

 
I decided to build a Sweet Bar....

 
just a small one
on a table top in the family room...
 
 
a few small apothecary jars
 nestled on a silver tray....
 
 
I made a bunting,
a very simple bunting...

 
just paper punched hearts,
glued on kite string...
 
 
pretty berry bowls
and a silver slotted spoon...
 
perfect to hold a handful...
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
 


 

 

 
wishing you a
a spoonful of sweetness...
 
today I am joining these sweet spots...
for a cloche party
 
and
 
 
Thanks for joining me today....

My Valentine's Day Mantle...

I'm a little late getting started...
 
 
  I dressed my Mantle up
 for Valentines Day today...
 

 
I made a paper heart banner,
for my window...
 
It's a new larger window,
I hung over the mantle
right after Christmas time...
 
I also added the iron candle holders
on each side,
 
I think they need to be softened up
 with some white paint...
 

 



sweet old Valentines...
 
Why don't they make anything this lovely anymore?


 


 
I decorated a new chocolate box...
 
 
a small box,
painted white
and covered in raw silk...
 

 
the Valentines Box
I decorated a couple years ago...





 


Wishing you
a Sweet Valentines Day...
 

 
 
Tonight I'll be Joining...

Photo Fun & Past Valentines Days...

Here we are,
February first...
 
the official beginning of
the month of love...
 
everything seems a little sweeter,
and who doesn't crave something sweet
 in the middle of winter...
 
 
I have been wanting to play with Pic Monkey
photo editing...
 
and this seemed like a good time
to dig up some sweet old pics and play...
 
this is my shabby Valentine box,
if you'd like to make one yourself the how to is here...
 

 Keys to Love....

 I love the fancy scissor cut edging boarder...
