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 |

| 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,

Utterly charming. As always. I never tire of your style, Tonita. Your little farmhouse is wonderful. I'm so happy now that I know where you are and that you are living life to the fullest. Your decor is so sweet. That vintage dress is amazing. I just love all your special touches. Hugs, Nancy P.S. Totally agree about using the pretty soap. Yes!!
Thank you for finding me and leaving me a comment today, Tonita. What a sweet blog you have here and some wonderful hearts! I love them. Years ago I had my first few homes full of hearts. I parted with my collection over the years as I found new things to collect (it's a sickness I tell you)...lol
Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday. xo Diana
