I enjoy changing the seasonal decorations in my beautiful home. My focus is on my dining room and the floating shelves in the first floor hallway. My Mom thinks I should decorate practically everywhere but it is enough for me to focus on these two areas.

My dining room Valentine decorations are similar to last year but I added the peony topiaries from my summer decorations and kept the gingerbread houses from Christmas since they work for winter / Valentine’s day. My corner shelves reuse some items but are completely different from last year.

Meal: Hearts – Fresh Mozzarella cut with a cookie cutter, roasted eggplant, pasta, tomato sauce

Drink: Sparkling water

Snowman: my niece (from marriage) gave this to me for Christmas a long time ago. She made it from gourds.

Honeycomb Heart

Handmade Silk Roses in Green Vase: I made these in 2004 for my wedding. Bird seed was put in them for guests to throw after the ceremony. My cousin did it at her wedding in 1992. The green vase has been in my collection a long time.

Hearts: Plastic hearts from the Dollar Tree many years ago.
