i'm making lotsa' dollies dressed in reds (and some in pinks .. won't make those as 'prim) .. been having fun hitting antiques shoppes shopping ONLY for REDS! found a couple baskets .. some great fabrics .. a few red-covered olde 'love' books .. been buying these for both home and to decorate/sell at my shoppe!
what cha'll doin?
OH .. i did discover part of my collection of olde RED candy-boxes .. mostly in heart shapes .. will probably put those across my fireplace mantle. i like to do seasonal/holiday 'TABLE SCAPES' too .. when i get it all done .. i'll take pics and post them. xo
alee .. i have a wonderful five foot 'feather' tree that i keep up all year in the 'stranger room' ... i got some great little red hearts and charms .. going to sew the charms to the hearts .. put some on the tree (along with some baby's breath, i think) .. and not sure what else. i have a wonderful collection of vintage valentines .. will tuck those here and there too .. IF i can locate them!! going to put some of those little 'charm-hearts' with some of my dollies too.
got a wonderful red tablecloth and napkins .. will put that on my table as we get closer to february 14.
well, I've got my hands full right now and I'm not going to do too much decorating for Valentines day. I am going to make homemade valentines for close friends and family. Abby ( my 18 month old) loves to help decorate paper card so I'm going to include her artistic talent in the valentines this year. Grandparents love getting a valentine that's scribbled on and cluttered up with too many stickers and glue : ) I think those are the SWEETEST valentines ever! On her first Christmas, I inserted a little card inside our regular christmas cards, that had her pandprint stamped on it with paint...everyone loved the little christmas keepsake with her handprint on it : )

I am in the mini apron swap this time around so I am going to use those to decorate and then I have a few things I like to put out during the month. We also have 4 birthdays in that month so there will be plenty of decorating going on one way or another.
