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!

ReplyDeleteI'd say to did pretty good pulling all these hearts together. Love that scale and the beautiful wreath and mirror. Thanks so much for hosting and for featuring my Vintage Goods sign.
ReplyDeletethat wire heart is so sweet. Sadly no decorating here for Valentines Day. I think it will pass us by as we have our grandies staying over so their Mummy & Daddy can have special time together.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week and thank you for hosting.
Hello Patti, I finally decided to join your awesome Wednesday blog party. Your Valentines post is charming and lovely. It is full of great photos that speak Happy Valentines Day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting.

Hi Patti,
ReplyDeleteYou and I were thinking the same with our latest posts! Isn't it fun to go around and see what you already have out that works so well for the occasion? Love the photo with the pink wreath and candle and mirror, gorgeous!
Have a "love"ly week!
Gina
It was fun to scroll through the comments to see what everyone's favorite is. For me, it is the heart glider. I love that you are surrounded by hearts that you didn't even notice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet shout out!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Great V's day decorating! You really did have so many wonderful "love" pieces! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHi Patti,
ReplyDeleteYour collection of 'hearts in hiding' are all lovely. For me, Carol's creation is big and bold, and you can't miss it!
Thanks for the party!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Patti
Oh, I love what you did with the pink wreath, mirror, and sculpture. It's so pretty! I also love the doll and the wire balloon! Thank you, so much for the feature too, Patti.

ReplyDeleteHugs, Dianne

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the party!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
Love everywhere. You just have to pay attention and open your heart (and mind) to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm always in the lookout for heart shaped things in nature and there's so many... it's heartwarming.
I love the way you weren't going to do anything and end up with a lovely statement that you didn't need to do because it was already done and gathered here and there, like Love should be.
Wishing you Love on Valentine's and always,
Teresa
Patti you always make things look so beautiful! You put a special sparkle in every holiday and beauty in everyday life.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day sweeties!
Blessings, Edie Marie & Marie Antoinette
You really do have the love of Valentine's Day all over your house and you didn't even know it! I especially love that brass plant hanger. Thanks for sharing and for all of the great features too. Happy Valentine's Day to both of you sweet ladies.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Patti

Your home looks so festive with your beautiful Valentine decor! I love the wreath Carol sent you! Great features and thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteShopping your home for special occasions is always fun. You did a beautiful job in putting these precious items together for Valentines! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYou had sweethearts all over the house and didn't even know it. :) I have that same heart rocker. My boys gave it to me for Mother's Day one year. When the weather is warm I enjoy it every evening after dinner. I am honored to be featured this week. Thank you :) A new party is starting this month over at my place. Hope you can join in. xo
ReplyDeleteWell, Patti, your post just goes to show...you neither have to spend a lot to create a mood, nor do you have to go looking for love - it's right here! All such wonderful little touches! Thanks for hosting this party.
ReplyDeleteRita
Love the romantic items you found around your home! I used to get what some would call the "tacky" stuff and decorate for the kids but since they're all grown up and gone I quit.
ReplyDeleteI just found a mirror that has similar overtones to yours- I'll probably include a copy one of your pictures in a post about it- hopefully that's ok! Have a Happy Valentine's Day! Liz
Yes, you are right, LOVE is in the house! :)
ReplyDeleteI love going around the house and finding things to decorate with. Almost as much fun as shopping for new!
I love the features that you have for this week, Patti....Happy Valentine's Day and thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteJP
Your cherubs are so sweet! There is no doubt that romance is in bloom at your home :) Thanks again for hosting the party...we have so much fun stopping by for a visit every week! Have a lovely Valentines Day....
ReplyDeleteKarla & Karrie

ReplyDeleteJust goes to show that if you look closely enough you can find hearts anywhere! You pulled together some very lovely Valentine decorations. Love the mirror with the couple and wreath, and that sweet red haired angel!

Hi Patti,
ReplyDeleteGot a kick out of all your hearts
that you found. Funny how we can
get so used to things that sometimes
we don't even notice the details at times.lol
Your pretty vignette with the pink
berry wreath and the black and white
vignettes were my favs, but they were
all pretty.
Hope you have a Wonderful Valentines
day hon,
Blessings, Nellie
