You Are Loved...

A little late for posting, but I thought I'd share some Valentine's decor from around our house. 


My vintage heart tin molds stacked on top of my chippy, vintage scale. I am not too big on red and pink, so I just added a hint of red to keep in the Valentine's spirit.


My son and I have always had our competition of who loves whom more. And at an early age, being obsessed with numbers and how high they could go, we used the terms of infinity. Then infinity times infinity. Then infinity to the infinite power. {My daughter is less adamant of her love for me. She gives up quickly and says, "How 'bout we just love each other."} Can you tell which one is more romantic?


In keeping with that tradition, I used a measurement theme for this year. Vintage ruler, vintage scale and I just LOVE this giant, wooden rosary with a heart. I had an hourglass, as well, but it didn't balance the table.


You can see better in this closeup how I added red and white twine around the edges of the vintage ruler.


This little guy didn't figure into the table, either - but I couldn't resist taking a photo all by itself.

Just a small little table to celebrate February's most celebrated holiday.

  14. Such a sweet and romantic post. How amazing that your son can be comfortable with being romantic. I used to spread my arms wide and tell my children I love them that much, then add more than yesterday.
