Happy Valentine's Day!

Today was my favorite kind of winter day! We got just enough snow overnight to make everything pretty and white, while brilliant sunshine came streaming in through the windows.

Over the holidays, my friend (and faithful blog reader) Stephanie said that I need to share more pictures of my mantel throughout the year. I'm going to try to remember that!

So with the sun shining today, I thought I'd grab the camera and share a few quick pictures of my Valentine's mantel.

I kept it simple with a combination of red for Valentine's Day, green to remind me that spring is right around the corner and lots of silver because it's always pretty!

I love the flicker of candlelight in mercury glass!

I learned how to make the heart pipe cleaner garland from my friend Cassie over at Primitive & Proper.

I made this wreath a few years ago and bring it out again from time to time. It is really big, with four layers of rolled sheet music. It took forever to make. My new version of a ruffled sheet music wreath is much faster to make!

I love when my husband brings me tulips for Valentine's Day! We just celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary and I get a rose for every year we've been married (let me tell you, 34 is a lot of roses), so I really don't need more roses on Valentine's Day.

Not only do I love this message, but I bought it on a shopping adventure with my dear friend Renae. She bought one too. Now it will always remind me of her!

You'll find stacks of old books all over my house.

The typewriter was found in the basement of my husband's office. We claimed it a few years ago for Megan's wedding.

I love to type little messages on it!

The tickets are just fun and whimsical!

The bunny weathervane was a summer clearence find at Target a few year's ago.

I think he just looks good all year round!

And what would Valentine's Day be without a sweet treat? My friend Stephanie also told me that I need to share this recipe on the blog. That's coming up next time!

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day spent with the people you love!
