Be Mine, Oh Valentine

We haven't had much sun around here

of late but I managed to take a few

photos of Valentines decor around the house the

other day while the sun was out.

I don't know how I did it but I forgot

to take a photo of the fireplace as a whole

with it's decor. I just took photos of bits and pieces.

I'll try to take one later in the week.

Decked out the chandi with heart ornaments.

I shared on instagram this heart wreath I made last week.

It's just tissue paper flowers on a wire form.

I painted that cabinet back in the fall and am really loving

the color. Now it flows with everything

else in the room...except I had left the existing top color.

I thought maybe I could live with it.

But I do not like it. It's almost black and too shiny.

So it's going to have to be painted.

I love the piece except for the top....so I've got to change it.

I am going to paint it to look like wood.

Hopefully.

I really love this room in the sunshine...well any time.

Still looking for the perfect table to go behind the sofa.

That little white one was a temporary fix.

And now it's been in that spot over 10 years.

Problem is anything that goes there has to be

no higher than 30 inches and 14 deep and about 40 wide.

I have not looked very seriously until I'd say the last 6 months.

One day I'll find the perfect thing.

And oh...what I need to concentrate on is painting all

the woodwork in this room.

I started trying to take the paint off because it was flaking off

and it turned into the biggest mess.

A big thing for me to tackle this year.

I shared this on instagram a few weeks ago.

The basket of flowers on my front door all set

for Valentines.

I do love Valentine decor. But soon it will be time for Easter stuff.

My most favorite!

I was recently contacted by
the Bouqs.com
asking if I'd take a dozen fresh roses in exchange for blogging about the experience.
Well, yes to that!

I was given a store credit and told to pick my bouquet.
I picked the one called "Killer".
A gorgeous magenta pink long stem rose.

I've added a sponsorship button on my right margin that you can click on and

if you buy...I earn a little money. (that's nice)

So when you order....

You schedule online when you'd like the flowers to deliver.

I believe I did this on a Friday night and told them for next Wednesday.

On Monday, I got an email telling me they were on the way.

Wednesday morning they arrived via Fed Ex.

They were super fresh and came with very long stems.

I cut them to fit my small hobnail vase.

As life goes...I was unable to photograph them on Wednesday and

Thursday too was a loss but today, Friday I snapped some photos.

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day and these photos are not as clear as I would like.

These hot pink roses would be just the thing to send someone for Valentine's Day.
Actually, they are just the thing to send yourself for Valentine's Day!

I was very pleased with the quality and freshness of the roses....as you can see...
this is day three and they show no signs of fading.

They were just what I needed with my morning tea on my day off.

I highly recommend ordering from theBouqs.com

If you go to their site, let me know what you think of all the choices.

Are you in the mood for Valentine's Day.

I am!

Oh...I forgot to mention...tomorrow...January 31st is my 5 year Anniversary for blogging!
Very hard to believe.

**UPDATE**
Check out my latest post about these roses.
They have lasted over a week and still look wonderful!

Thanks for always being there!
