Looking for Love

What's It Wednesday #153

Here it is just four days until Valentine’s Day and I’m ashamed to say I’ve done no decorating. I started wandering the house to see what I could pull together quickly. Nada. Saddened, I started to wash a few dishes in the sink, and it hit me.

I love this planter that hangs on the side of the cabinet. The ornate design is what drew me to this piece. Notice the top. Hearts, the symbol of love. Here was my theme, and I decided to run with it.

I have this great old mirror in the entry with another heart shaped hanger. Add a loving couple, a candle, and a pretty pink wreath and I call it done!

I remembered a lace heart that I have in an old metal frame.

It is striking paired with my new “old” scale and iron stone pitcher I found. Things were starting to come together.

Why there’s even a big proclamation on my porch for all to see. A double heart glider and two cherubs with a planter filled with…

heart shaped leaves!

There in the family room, how could I have missed it? A wire balloon shaped birdcage, made with a heart pattern.

I added this sweet angel holding, what else? Three carved wooden hearts!

Can’t you just see the love in this vignette?

No… really!? Can you see LOVE?

It’s right there in this pretty wire heart given to me by Carol over at Art and Sand, just because I liked it. She’s such a sweetie! Isn't that perfect for Valentine's Day? I guess I don't need to search any further, love is already here!

Hugs,

Patti
