Decorating for Valentine's Day

Hello, Dear Friends, I have been busy

adding some sweet hearts 

and cherubs to my favorite 

place in the whole wide world - 

my little cottage kitchen <3

I've been sewing and crafting pillows and hearts for
my very favorite place,
to brighten up these dreary winter days.

My kitchen is truly the heart of my home,
and what better time of year to celebrate
this special place than on Valentine's day!

Here is one of the heart sachets I recently made :)

I've gussied up my Hoosier cupboard
with all things red and girly :)

I crocheted the little baskets.
You can find the instructions Here.

The framed print is simply scrapbook paper
that I can change for every season.

The door holds a candy box that I decorated
last year.

You can see the details Here.

The front says, 'Sweet' :)
I used the same vintage heart lace trim
on some pillows I just made.

I converted my spice rack to
jars of cupcake sprinkles.
Sometimes you just need a cupcake <3

Everything I need to do a little
cupcake baking and have
a nice mug of tea.

My daybed has a new, romantic look, too.

Hearts, cherubs, ruffles and lace.
The crochet rug was made from fabric strips
and usually lives in my sewing room.

My new hand-sewn pillows with the vintage heart lace.

Pillows made from vintage linens.

The ruffled pillow was a sweet gift from my sis-in-law.

I made the doily pillow and sachets.

A sweet collection of Valentines.

And cherubs <3

A few more vintage style Valentines.....

on my enamel top farm table.

A cozy corner to while away a winter's day
with a good book.
(And a cupcake :)

Sachets made from vintage chenille and toile,

and filled with lavender.

I just made the button heart <3

You can't have too much love <3

A heart for my morning coffee....

And one for my afternoon tea....

You can find directions for the crochet heart Here.

A bit of framed humor from Ann Taintor :)

"From scratch?
Why yes,
I scratched the label
right off the bakery's box."

Thank you for stopping by, dear Friends!

Come visit again and we'll have cupcakes and tea!

xoxo
