Year round my home is filled with heart shaped items in one form or another. To me, they are just plain, simple and sweet. Some hang on old plank walls, others sit on primitive shelves. They even make appearances on my covered porch, and a few of them have made their way into the garden and onto the deck. Being that it is Valentines Day today, I am sharing some farmhouse frills and Valentine vignettes, roses, hearts, cherubs,Valentine cookies, candles, and pearls all seem perfect for the interior of my itty bitty 570 square foot, sweet farmhouse this Valentines day.

 |
| I designed this farmhouse style kitchen cabinet |
 |
| The countertops are made with galvanized metal that I antiqued so that they looked really worn and old |
 |
| Perfect dishes for Valentines Day festivities |
 |
| Valentines cookies made with love |
 |
| Farm fresh Organic ingredients |

 |
| Tiny heart shaped pans make adorable mini muffins |
 |
| Real handmade heart soap adorned with little roses... Yes, it is my everyday bar of soap. Life is short, use the fancy stuff today |

 |
| My mantle in her Valentines attire |
 |
| My Valentine mantle décor is dedicated to the amazing dogs in my life, both past and present. |
 |
| I heart dogs |
 |
| Dogs leave paw prints on your heart |
 |
| This buffet is in my little dining nook area |
 |
| Yes, that is a sterling silver tea pot hanging from my ceiling |
 |
| My buffet was originally dark wood that needed some help. Chalk paint to the rescue |
 |
| I have a thing for galvanized items, especially hearts |
 |
| When you live in a tiny space it helps to merchandise items 'upwards'. |
Roses, hearts, Cherubs, Valentine cookies, candles and pearls....I hope you enjoyed.
May you find some time to play on this Valentines day.
It is never to late to have a happy childhood. If you missed it the first time around, create one for yourself starting today.
Blessings,
