Family Tree Window Art

Sometimes the best gifts are handmade and from the heart.

I received this beautiful window art of our family tree from my daughter for Christmas.  She created it!  I love it!!!  She has a Cricut machine and this is making me want one!  Or, I could just ask her to make me more pretty stuff like this beautiful window! 

I have it on display here on our hall table, for now. It makes me smile seeing the names of my loved ones among the branches!

~ I hope you find much to smile about today!

Happy Valentine's Day!~My Beautiful Heart Wreath

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

- Confucius

I was thinking ahead about February and Valentine's Day when I spotted this lovely heart!

I ordered this beautiful faux white-rose covered heart from target.com.  A little gift to myself, 'cause I just had to have it!

It originally had several tiny green leaves throughout which I simply removed because I prefer this all white look.  I’m so happy with it and I really love it!

I hope you are feeling extra loved today!

Thrifty Winter Decor

Our first Monday of February!  The sun is shining and it’s a bright and beautiful first Monday of this new month.

This is my current decor for winter over here in front of the window.  I have a simple touch of greenery, winter picks of pine, and pine cones tucked into my thrifted tin heart, displayed on my thrifted green painted wood & iron decor piece.

Well, that was a mouthful but a precise description for this view in our breakfast area.  Another heart item that I love that works well for February decor too.  These thrift store finds are a couple of my favorites at the moment.   I also added some evergreens to my candlesticks.  I love hearts and I love green so this is making me smile!

The temperatures are promising for this first week of February, in the 70’s today!

I’m optimistic about spring arriving soon!

Hellooo FEBRUARY!

Well, winter’s certainly not over, but January is!  We’re even closer to spring!

And, YAY!...It’s the month of hearts & love!  Time to bring out the heart decor.  These are a couple of my favorite heart items.  I found the heart wreath long ago and the decor beads were found around this time last year.  Hearts are a favorite of mine so they are present in my home throughout the year, not just for February.   

My perpetual calendar keeps me up to date, that is if I remember to flip over the days and months!(wink)

I know I shouldn't rush time, but I'm so ready for Spring to get here!
