I do not do lots of decorating for Valentine's Day. Just a few simple touches, because it is one of my favorite times of the year. I took my cake pedestal, wove a pink ribbon through it, placed the pink pillar candle, added heart candies, my mini clear glass bubbles, and some crystals to make this display, which I use as a centerpiece for my kitchen table.
In my bathroom shelf, I placed my heart shaped soaps(which I keep from year to year) in a pretty glass dish(a Christmas gift from my daughter), a glass "love" votive holder and a mirrored heart frame. For some reason this display brings a smile each time I see it, possibly because of the simple beauty of it.
This heart box was created for me, for my birthday, by a dear friend. The year she gave it to me was 1993. How can I possibly remember that date? Well, she lined the inside of the box with the local newspaper of the day of my birthday, the year she gave it to me. How cleaver!! This beautiful heart box sits on the shelf above our bed. It is a reminder to me of the significance of homemade gifts and the people who so lovingly create them.

The little sign is a good reminder of what Valentine's Day is all about. I do enjoy seeing the many touches that all of you in the blogging world are creating and displaying. What works of art!

What pretty little touches you have put around your home for Valentine's Day. I especially love what you did with your cake stand. So pretty.
I love it all!
Thanks for your kind comment yesterday! In response to your question, yes, I do sell the clothespin holders. I will be putting them on the etsy shop, but feel free to let me know if you are interested since you are a local gal.
Love all of them...especially the conversation hearts around the candle and the hearts in the teacup with the little "Love Never Fails." Thanks for the great ideas! = )
Blessings,
Tracy
What a sweet blog you have! I love your Valentine candle piece! I am sorry to hear of the passing of your darling Grandmother. She looks like she had a fullfilled life with that pretty smile on her face. Enjoyed my visit.
Hugs,
