We came to the lake house yesterday, so I brought a few frugal items with me to decorate for Valentines. Nothing elaborate at all. I saw this idea at Cottage at the Crossroads. Jane had made some of the prettiest fabric hearts for her home. She gave excellent instructions, so I decided to give it a try. I already had all the fabric scraps, so by following Jane's directions, I came up with these for decorations at the lake.
These set atop the TV armoire. I spent no money at all for this project.
I think they add just the right amount of color. I brought some flowers from Dollar Tree with me from our other home, and added them to this old hobnail vase. The picture here was around $6.00 some time ago at the Dollar General. The scarf on the armoire is part of a pillow case left from the fabric heart project. I just trimmed the edge with pinking shears to even it up.
Another spot where I added a little Valentine decor is in the bookcase.
I kept adding fabric hearts as I made them. I really like these, and as Jane said, they are so easy to make. Give it a try to add to your decor.

I simply added pink foam hearts to the birdhouse. I already had these heart picks too.
This little cutie on the pony is my husband.

Hi Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my little fabric hearts inspired you to make some. Yours look as cute as can be in the basket. If you're like me, I found it hard to stop making them! Your other decorations look great, too. Looks like you are ready for Valentine's Day!
Oh I love the fabric hearts and your display, so pretty...and thrifty! :)
ReplyDeleteEverything is so darling, Kathy, I love the pillows you made. I don't decorate much for Valentines Day...just a simple little sign for the front door and candies in the candy dishes. I'm so glad you made it to your lake house. A change of scenery is good for the spirit!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane

I love the fabric hearts. I've been wanting to make some too. Did you sew them by hand? They are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even thought about decorating for Valentine's Day yet and you've already done your lake house. You're really on the ball and it all looks so festive.

I love these Valentine touches in your decor. The hearts are very sweet. What a treasured pic of your husband. Hope you enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteHearts are such a great idea...who doesn't love them! They look so cute adorning your lake house. Hope you are having fun. Oh, and that shot of your husband on the pony is classic. I love it!
