Just for fun!

Happy Valentines Day! Just wanted to post a few pictures of my Valentine Day Decor.

The centerpiece is glittered hearts sprinkled around 3 linen colored candles. They are placed on a sturdy pedestal.

The mantle has a cute Valentine Fairy with a cutout glittered heart. On the mantel is red crystal berry garland and greenery.

Enjoy your "Valentines" today!

Spring Fever?

Spring Fever? I know I have it! I have a few quick tips to help you spruce up your front porch. Sweep, clean and a touch of decor!

A quick sweep can make a world of difference after winter has left its mark. Clean your windows by your entryway and add some simple decorative touches.

Valentines Day is just around the corner. Get some simple black lanterns and add some bright colored candles. Sprinkle with glittered hearts. You can also buy some small potted primroses to fill in the voids. After Valentines is over switch out the hearts for an Easter or spring item. If you want something that will have a more classic look add polished rocks!

Lastly- Buy a new doormat! A nice new doormat freshens up any boring entry! If your budget doesn't allow for a new door mat then clean your existing one! Touch it up if it is faded. Simple acrylic paint can breathe new life into most mats.

These are all quick inexpensive way to bring some color to you porch. (If you live in a really cold climate add evergreen plants instead of primroses.)

(Hint... I am not really an IKEA girl but....I purchased all three lanterns there for under $30.00!)

NEW PROJECTS COMING THIS WEEK!

Vintage Santa

This one of my latest designs! A fun vintage Santa vinyl. It is classy and the colors are a nice vintage green and red. It is applied to a square charger but would look great on wood, glass or just about any prepared surface! I placed the charger on a mantel with red glass bead garland and fresh cedar boughs!

You can purchase a 10' X 10' Vintage Santa vinyl for only $10.00!

Classes Offered- Snowman Advent Calendar (Dec 2010)

I will be starting up some classes for various projects. The first one I have in mind is a cute advent calendar. The cost is $20.00. Depending on how many people are interested - will depend on the specific design for the date placeholders. (I will have to see how many I can get.) The overall design will stay the same either way. The calendar is metal and the placeholders have magnets on them.

My thought was to do this either next Tuesday Nov. 17 OR Wed. Nov. 18th around 10am. Let me know if you are interested and what day works best for you if you are. I will most likely need to purchase materials in the next few days so please have your payments to me by Sunday Nov. 15th. Also, if you are unable to attend, (and if you are local,) you can purchase the kit and do it at home! Feel free to share this info but let me know who will be attending as the materials need to be purchased ahead of time.

If you are not local but interested in the "Snowman advent vinyl" you can purchase the vinyl for $10.00. The vinyl is approx. 10" X 10". (See buy it now.)

Give Thanks

This post is a nice vignette of a vintage harvest. I found this reproduction antique wire basket at my local TJ Maxx! I filled it with blue vintage canning jars and a few harvest gourds and pumpkins. Next to it is a Thanksgiving Vinyl- "Give Thanks". Simple yet festive!

"Give Thanks" is just over 10 X 6". It is done in chocolate brown. See buy it now on the right column if you would like to purchase one!

Happy Decorating and don't forget to think of at least one thing that you are thankful for every day!

Wheww!

It has been a crazy week or so around here. 3 Halloween parties, 2 sick kids and a fun filled Halloween with the family has wiped me out! ;o) I am cooking up some ideas for this weeks project! Stay tuned and I will post something soon!
