As promised in yesterday’s post…….
I was inspired to create an “ode to Kentucky” by this canvas my bestie gave me for Christmas!
I’m in LOVE with the thing! I mean does she know me or what?! I feel bad because I bought her a toaster. I mean honestly she needed one like crazy bad. The girl has three kids and was using a 2 slicer! What the what?! Yeah, like I said, the girl needed a new toaster with not 2 but 4 slots! Anyhow, I think I got the better end of the exchange. She bought this canvas from Red Envelope in case you want one for yourself. I really love this personalized canvas, and I probably would have never bought it for myself because it was kinda pricey – I guess she really likes me or something. 😉
White Beauty likes to be warm in the winter so I let her borrow my red scarf (that I crocheted last year). I picked up those felt doily looking hearts at Target after Christmas in the ornaments section (they were less than $1). I strung them up with some twine and used a gold key in the middle.
The flower petals I’ve had for years. I just threw them up there. They give it a little romance. 😉
Mr. Brassy was in the mood for love.
I’ll bet your dying to find out what books those are aren’t you? That would be Twilight, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. HA! Perfect for a love fest right?! New Moon I only have in paperback, so it didn’t make the cut. That was my favorite book in that series by the way.
I was never really much of a Valentine’s Day decorator until I had kids. Now, I like to do little things for every holiday. It just makes the house feel fun and festive. I like to keep it simple with easy things that don’t take up a lot of time.
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?
Very cute Carmel! And I love that you used Twilight novels for the books on the mantel! PERFECT!! I usually don't decorate for Valentine's day, but this year I'm thinking I might!
