The New Valentines Day Mantle
So guess what everyone, Valentines Day is two weeks from tomorrow and I am so excited about it. I have a love/hate relationship with Valentines Day. While I adore the opportunity to share a little bit of extra love with those close to you, I think that we should treat every day like Valentine's Day and always showcase our love for people. However, I am never one to pass up a nice bouquet of peonies. (Hint... Hint...Mr. Ryan) With all of that said, I thought it was time to share my newest holiday mantle with all of you.
I am always one to look for deals and try not to spend too much around the holidays, but I still think it is important to showcase the special holidays of the year. I think that it really helps us get through those dreary months of winter. So as to not break the bank I try to focus on incorporating pieces that I already have and add a few little extras. I spent less then $5 on this mantle simply by moving my other nik naks around a little bit. The jute wrapped bottles and "Be Mine Forever" canvas art were especially fun for me to incorporate.

What a DARLING mantle! I love it! I never quite know if I should decorate the house for Valentine's Day, but I love all the subtle hints of LOVE you've incorporated here. :) And I agree - we should treat way more days like Valentine's Day and the world would be a much happier (and more loving) place!

You have created such a lovely mantle! I used to really dislike Valentine's Day and my now-fiance and I didn't celebrate Valentine's Day for the first few years we were together. We slowly delved into the holiday and this year, I seem to be all about it. I have no idea where this pro-Valentine's Day mindset has come from, and I have been planning the day for about a week now, with a surprise breakfast and the perfect at-home dinner and what sort of gift I should get for him. I'm just all about it!
