♥ February- Quiet Romantic Touches

Well, oh, my word and knock my socks off....

How is it that January has now come and gone?!?

We're now in the month of 

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Love ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

It's that special time of year to get our romance on -
 be it real or simply just with our decor!









It's that time now to get out my
big bin of St. Valentine's decor! 

(I was just waiting for February and it snuck up on me!) 

I always find it so exciting to open up a seasonal bin 
and discover what "after season" sale items
that I may have poked inside; it's like experiencing
Christmas or a birthday all over again!










Don't you just adore the quieter, softer side of romance?












Cupids, hearts, roses - all say LOVE!



























So....who holds the keys to your heart?










I look forward to sharing more Valentine's decor
 as I dig around the seasonal boxes and find my treasures!

Hope you come back and visit again soon.

I know you are very busy, and the time you give is a gift;
for one I owe sincere gratitute and thanks.







As always, thank you for your visit!



~Michele

  2. I'm glad I am not the only one with Valentine decor around the house although not as romantic as yours Michele. I brought my VD teacup, heart cookie cutters and a few other things because I can't imagine not bringing some hearts to Florida with me. :-)
    Can't wait to see what else you have!

  10. Good morning,

    Yes, the quieter, softer side is so elegant. I am amazed at you and other ladies who decorate with such lovely detail for each occasion. My tablecloth is about the only thing that changes around here :)

    Thank you for sharing your pretty February decor.

  11. What pretty, romantic touches around your house, Michele. I love anything with cuspids, and angels year round. Your teacup is a beauty, too!

  12. A delightful visit to your lovely blog today; my first time visit, I believe.

    It is hard to wrap the mind around the fact that January is over and here we are at the beginning of Heart Month. No regrets though for I lived January in the way I wanted it to unfold.

    Wishing you a beautiful month ahead...

  13. Isn't it romantic?! You will have your home looking simply adorable. I don't think I'll bother much with Valentine's Day here, though I certainly love seeing what others do and I know that you'll have a Valentine's Tea or two for your friends. I hope!

  16. Such beautiful understated Valentine decor! I really like the photo of the teacup with the classic heart candies along the saucer. I'm slowly acquiring more Valentine's Day decor. I also like opening the bin and seeing "new" items for the first time. Makes the after holiday sales all the more special. Look forward to seeing more of your pretty decor!

  27. I am so glad February is here because that means spring is on its way! :-) I don't really decorate that much for Valentines Day. A few little touches and that does it for me. Not only that my house is in disarray right now because we're painting. Ugh! Can't wait till it's finished. I really like the keys on the white heart! Thanks for sharing the love.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  37. Your Valentine's decorations are sweet and romantic. They have an old world charm that bring pleasant childhood memories to mind. I particularly love the adorable cupids flower vase.

    I love February because it celebrates romance, friendships and lots of chocolates. PS and it is also the month of my birthday.

    Have a great week.
