As I unpack my small box I thought I'd share what i'll be putting up this year!
A few years ago, after a stormy winter, I was walking near my house and found a big pile of twigs from a tree that had come down. I dragged a bunch of them home and cut them a bit, grabbed a can of white spray paint and covered them very roughly to get a weathered shabby look. I have since used them to decorate with for several different seasons. I like to place them in a vase or a jug and festoon them with something appropriate for the occasion: so red wooden hearts it is for February! This display will sit in my bay window at the front of the house.
I'll stand the 'Love' letters up in my entrance way as a little welcome in a spot where I will generally have some sort of sign or welcome for the season.
I bought this bunting several years ago from a wedding supply company. I did feel a little bad as it would be so easy to make!! It came with several bunting triangles which meant I was able to split it in half and get two instead of one! I will hang one of them across the mantle of my fireplace and it often ends up staying there into the spring as I usually can't bring myself to take it down!
Well, that's about it. I hope you this post inspired you to decorate a little for Valentine's Day! For me it really is just an excuse to have a little fun and change things around in my home.
Hej då!
