Couldn’t resist posting a few vintage valentine images – I inherited the one above from my grandmother. The ones below came from an old family scrapbook that my husband inherited . Don’t you just love the art on vintage valentines?!
This Valentine’s Day we decided to celebrate by staying home and playing all the games we love. (Featured games: Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan, Carcassone, Sushi Go, Coloretto, Elevenses, and the aptly named “Love Letter” – a simple card game that quickly became a family favorite when we were introduced to it a little over a year ago.)
How are you celebrating Valentines Day?
Using the same set of felt hearts, I created a wreath and a festive Valentine’s garland.
The hearts were created using two heart-shaped pieces of felt – fused with a blanket stitch done with embroidery floss and lightly stuffed with fiber fill.
Why put your Christmas decorations away when you can just re-purpose them?
For the wreath craft, I’ve attached the hearts using ornament hooks to a simple grapevine wreathform covered with white Christmas Garland (a $1 find at my local Goodwill store).
For the garland craft I’ve simply hung hearts on a wooden bead garland (also borrowed from my Christmas tree).
