It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain

Chic Valentine's Day Decor

Valentine's Day is approaching and many of you are probably craving a little Valentine's inspiration.Brynn Larsen with Blooms & Co. shares 5 ways to add a little love to your home this Valentine season.

---

Valentine Wreath
Search the internet for fun, vintage Valentine images, then simply print, cut and paste to a heart wreath form. I always like to add a little ribbon and glitter to finish it off!
Ombre Candles
Simply purchase candles in all different Valentine colors, from Dark red to pink. Then spray paint your candle holders to match and display them dark to light for a trendy hombre effect.

Ombre Flower Centerpiece
I used the same idea of the ombre candles, only displayed different Valentine shades of flowers, from dark to light.

Valentine Table Runner
Cover a long strip of felt with freezer paper, then place your stencil on the paper and cut out any design you choose.
Mason Jar Valentines
Mason jars are the perfect way to package a girlfriend Valentine gift.

Ilona Royce Smithkin.. I adore you

I was so inspired by this darling woman yesterday. I want to spend a day with her and learn from her how to love life and how to be content in myself the way she is. She is my new "She-ro" as Maya Angelou would say.




"I cant buy green bananas anymore"

such an artists way of looking at the world.
