My favorite…not so much “what” you made but how you shopped your house, put limits on what you were willing to do, and did simple, sweet things in a livable manner. You have great inspirational ideas that help me think outside the box. Thanks for all the hard work! We are blessed by it. PS, I think you must have THE BEST thrift shops anywhere! I’ve never seen anything in our shops like what you find at the prices you find.

Great job! I decorate with 1900’s love letters and old books from an antique store wrapped in old French ribbons. I have pretty mercury hearts in red, pink and silver that I hang in my kitchen windows and put more into ironstone bowls through out my home. I also use pink and white milk glass. I love decorating each holiday, my mother who has passed did and it’s a tribute to her! 💌❤️‍🩹💞

I never liked Valentine's Day or its decor either. I always thought it was tacky until recent years. I've found more than anything my kids are always looking for something to celebrate haha, so Ive played with decor lately and I must say, its really been kind of a fun transition in that space after Christmas and Spring when you're not quite sure what to do. We have really enjoyed it. Great video thank you!

Thank you for all of your inspiring, thoughtful ideas for Valentine's Day! We've tried to focus on the Judeo-Christian history of Saint Valentine, rather than the Roman interpretations, for the kids' sakes especially. It really is a holiday to celebrate "agape" love, rather than romantic, and all of your ideas, finds, talents and efforts are timeless reminders of the caring and love we have for all of our fellow human beings.

@ncfarmchick 2 жыл бұрын

As far as decor goes, I think St. Valentine's Day is just like any other. If you prefer vintage items, they can be found for all holidays. I have a collection of vintage Valentine cards (some mass produced and some handmade) and they are all very soft images with none of the garish quality of modern things. But, it might help people enjoy the holiday more if they learned its origins (which really had little to do with romantic love) by studying Saint Valentine and his life. There is one story of his life in which a yellow crocus plays a large part so that would be an historically correct representation of the holiday that I imagine few know about. I appreciate you always encouraging a timeless and less wasteful approach to enjoying holidays and our homes. Thank you!

@vjhreeves 2 жыл бұрын

Totally agree about vintage items for every holiday! It's actually not even that hard to find things at thrift stores for each one.

I liked the envelopes tied with string. I do a little decorating for most holidays. I have an adult special needs daughter who is very into the calendar and all special days on it. 😁 My home is set up for winter with lovely blues and whites with snowflakes. I live in a cold winter area. I will add pops of things for valentine's day and then st Patrick's day. Not changing anything over until spring/Easter. Too much work. Your projects are always inspiring and lovely, TFS.

I agree with what you said about quality of Valentine’s Day decor! Just having beautiful florals and keeping a more neutral palette (whites, greens, beige tones, pine cones) from now until spring is the way I went this year. Cozy and simple. Love the idea of mixing in more peach and muted feminine colors

Hi Sarah! Well I do love (no pun intended) to decorate for Valentine's Day and now even more! l especially liked your DIY vintage ideas. My late mother had the busts of the girl and boy and I am using them this year for the first time. They are beautiful and probably at least 50 years old. I put them in a large wood lantern (there's no glass) and they are gazing at each other. I can't believe after all this time, it just now dawned on me to put them out for Valentine's Day. I had a good laugh at your kid's saying it was Singles Awareness Day! My daughter used to say my decorating only reminded her even more that she didn't have a boyfriend! Hah! You're right....we do need a lot more love right now in this world. Thanks for all your work on this! I've already watched it twice and will probably do so again! Please do another for Easter!!!

Glad this popped up for me again this year, triggered an old memory that was bittersweet. When I was little, my Mom repainted an old desk in a vintage red and used some sort of stain or wax over it to darken it and age it more. It was a bear of a project as I remember. I wish she was still around so I could ask her...why red, why vintage, LOL!! It was early 70s and I don't think it even moved with us when we moved in '73 after all that work. But the finish looked just like your chair and the moment I saw that I was transported back. Wish I had thought about it during her last year and had asked her about it. She was always so crafty and making things for our home, reupholstering furniture, made all of our dresses, just amazing. Thank you ❤️

Yes...valentines is least favorite "holiday"...but love blush pinks and the soft feminine touches I throw around the house during January. If course. I have to counter that with superbowl and football decor first of Feb! Lol. I am fortunate to have my grandparents love letters from the 30s. I tie them up in string and they make the prettiest decor! Loved all of your ideas!

Love your decor! For the last few years my husband and I go to an antique store to find vintage or antique Valentine’s cards/post cards for each other. They already have someone else’s message and signatures on them. They get a second life for the original sender so long ago, and we always come up with a sweet or funny story about the previous sender and receiver.

I was never a fan of valentines or it’s decor. I guess I always felt it was…, juvenile and not my style (I tend to not decorate with reds and or pinks). A few years ago, however I came across an antique brass, mini hands that chocolate companies would give away as promotional items when you’d purchase their candy. It had my husbands name on it (Casey’s Chocolates). I had to have it so now I put those out with chocolates in a red transferware bowl and call it done. Thank you for making this video and keeping it classy as you always do. Thanks for the inspo
