A Flocked Heart: Before And After

I took the shears to our flocked holiday wreath and extended its use by shaping it into a heart.  Adding black peacock feathers as Cupid's arrow, our door is now adorned with a fluffy white Valentine's Day wreath.  I LOVE it!

So Pinteresting: Valentine's Day

Judging by the images I've been selecting for my Valentine's Day pinboard it seems I'm in a very textured, crafty kind of mood. Quite different from last year.  What sort of mood are you in this February?  Any projects or parties planned for this special day of  love?!

A Blue Valentine

Above: Soap Hearts by Satin and Birch

Valentine's day  usually brings us vivid reds and demure pinks, but today I'd like to show you how to honor this heart-felt holiday with a very different hue:  BLUE.

Take a look at some lovely blue inspired finds to celebrate Valentine's day.

Felt Garland: MadeMary

Limited edition:  Swarowski Stars Nuits de Noho.

Paper garland: PaperPolaroid

Retro blue iced cookies: Crowley Cookies

Royal blue silk covered necklace: Esty

Necklace : Samantha House

Often, I need to remind myself to "keep calm".....that's why I love the above take on the whole "keep calm and carry on" trend.  Find it on Esty.

So what you do think?  Are you a hard-core traditionalist when it comes to Valentine's Day?!  Or would you be game to try a different color on your heart shaped wishes?!

Let me know the colors of your true Valentine.
