on my mind.
(Look ~The bulbs are breaking ground. Spring is not far off!)
I love celebrating St. Valentine's Day ~ though I don't decorate as much as some. I do like to collect, and gather a few things to remember the day.
No feather tree, this tiered display stands in, instead:
I just collect things from around the house that seem to fit with the theme. I love hearts, and have collected lots of them through the years... but I used some restraint with decorating this year.
Heart shaped pewter trinket box with pewter-heart pins.
A miniature handmade mohair bear by British artist, Deb Canham.
Miniature 1940's shoe...
cup, saucer and ...
A small Cookie Stamp
Miniature tricycles...
Tiny glass hearts in the wagon...
And the fragrant white hyacinths are blooming, just in time for St. Valentine's Day.
I hope you and your special someone are cooking up something special to celebrate the occasion.
I wish you and yours a very Happy Valentine's Day!

ReplyDeleteYour little blooms are so pretty! My bulbs have broken ground to, but ohhh so tiny yet. We are going to get snow this weekend so maybe they will go back to sleep.
Just beautiful Mary!

Beautiful photos of your Valentine treasures, Mari. I especially like your heart shaped pins.
ReplyDeleteA very happy Valentine's Day to you and your family.
Happy Valentine's Day Mari! I did not decorate I think the Big Red Kitchen is enough red! Wink. Me and children did make 44 candy leis for their classmates which was so much fun. I love all you photos- so very romantic and sweet!
ReplyDeleteLovely post! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat Treasures.....that includes you my dear.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day~
Mary, so pretty, love all your little treasures!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so green there through
your window. Like Monique we are months from seeing anything sprouting...
Happy ♥day, Mary, enjoy it..
I dont think I have anything heart shaped lying around! But I could put together some stuffed toys and my kitchen is red - does that count?! Thanks so much for these great decorating ideas!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so amazingly beautiful..:)
ReplyDeleteI have to send my sister a link to your post, because when we were antiquing last summer she bought a carved, heart-shaped wooden plaque that they said was a maple sugar something - mold? stamp? Anyway, we couldn't figure it out but she was going to hang it on the wall anyway. Happy Valentine's Day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a darling post, Mari. i was initially confused about the size of the trike and wagon ... then realized the size as compared to your tulips.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day
This is an extraordinary vignette. I enjoyed it tremendously.
ReplyDeleteMari - you have some of the most lovely pieces I have ever seen...your collection is so whimsical and unique!
