I didn't want my last "IMHO' post to sit on the top for too long, so here's some more of my Valentine's decorations. I don't have a lot, not like Christmas or Halloween, but there's a nice touch of red (my favorite color!) around my house these days!
I change the flowers in this wall sconce with the seasons. Sorry the photo is sideways!
Mike gave me this pair of hugging bears way back when we were first going out...some time in the early 70s!
I bought these votive candle holders for $5 to 'fill in' a blank wall area in the dining room because I didnt' want to hang a big picture or mirror there! I love the 3-D look. They are about 20 inches tall with 5 candle holders in each. And it's a great place to hang little things. I'm thinking U--S--A for Memorial Day and 4th of July!
Here's more of the shelf with the candy. I also use it as a 'catchall,' which isn't great decorating (hence the green m&ms which will be for St. Pat's) but at least one shelf is totally Valentine's.
My mother gave me the strawberry cookie jar many years ago. I moved it out of the kitchen because strawberries remind me of hearts!
In fact, anything red will do...don't think you have to go out and spend money to decorate! Just think of appropriate colors!

I LOVE that strawberry jar! All of your decorations look great. I don't have a decorating bone in my body, so it's always so neat to see what others come up with!
Your decorations are very pretty. I like the strawberry jar. The candy in glass containers is such a good idea. Any color candy can be added to match the season.
I'm thinking lasagna would be a very romantic dinner for Valentines day too. I have all of the ingredients in my pantry. I use spinach in mine.
Thanks for visiting my site.
They look AWESOME!!
Looks like you're all ready for Valentines day. I, too, love your strawberry jar! I also like your thoughts on being frugal. Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you'll stop by again!
What a cute idea! Love it!
