Simple Valentine's Day Decor

With Valentine's Dayright around the cornerI thought I would share with you some simple Valentine decor I love to doas a simple nod to a holidaydedicated to love.
Nothing says Valentine's Day to me more thanpink flowersand for me the more the merrier and the happier my heart!
I have recently found new lovefor carnations especially in shades of pinks!
A quick trip to our local marketnot only provides carnationsbut the bakery has heart cookies! 
One of my favorite Valentine traditionswhen friends and family come to visitis setting up trays of pink treats!
Soap stone bowls give these simple bakery cookies some fresh edgeas does  filling shot glassesfull of pink jelly beans.
I pull out  my wooden traysandline them with pink paisley napkinsand fill in with flowers and bottles of  pink lemonade!
Almost instantly I have a quick and beautiful functioning centerpiece for my visitors!

During the week of Valentine's Day it is the perfect time to fill my house with flowers.
I do always remember to buy any roses at least 8 days before Valentinesbecause the prices on roses double or even triple any closer to the day.
Tucking in little heart ornaments and messages into bouquetsis another quick way to celebrate the day!
To me Paris says Valentines as well.So pulling out my wire towersand adding them in around flower bouquetsmakes for lovely little vignettes.
 I keep my heart and Paris ornamentsstored separatelyso I can easily pull them out and work them into vignettes.
Simply adding a pink paper heart to this glittering ornamenttakes it right to Valentine' Day !
 Of course my 5' x 5' chalkboard above the fireplacegets a dose of Valentine's Day artwork.
 Tulips have a special Valentine's presence worked in frontof chalkboards.
Although tulips always have a special Valentine's Day presence wherever they are used!
 This year I made a soft sculpture heart to celebrate the season.
I made it using a base of copper tubing to define the shapeand thenwrapped the heart silhouette  with over 20 yards of tulle.I knotted and tied the three different shades of pink as I went.Finishing off the heart with hand stitching in primitive stitches along the outer edge.
I originally made the heart for our front yard gate and then fell in love with it inside!It makes amy corner immediatelya Valentine's Celebration!
So from my heart and home to yoursI wish you a most loving Valentine's Day!

As always my friends
