Happy Valentines Day readers!
I hope you all enjoy this post as much as I had fun brainstorming and creating it! Nothing screams Valentines Day fun than decorations, festive children clothes and heart shaped food! I've always been a crafting and decorating freak, but since I became a mother, my love for it all became more inseparable! There is something about taking something so small and trifling and making it into a magnificent piece. Whether it's for parties, holidays or just for the home. This Valentines Day, I wanted to make it extra special for my 3 year old daughter and decided to take her mini table and turn it into a party in itself. My eyes are glowing hearts! I've been so elated to create this post to share this with you all...enjoy!
Vintage Valentines cards are so timeless and beatific for my taste!
This is where the crafting started. I took burlap and cut them into triangles. Added some paint to make the X's and O's. Found dollar (soap scented) roses from the craft store and glued them to each of the corners. So not only is this a burlap banner but a Rosy smelling one :) For the white hearts, I used a cookie cutter shaped heart on paper and outlined it pen. I cut along the outline and hole punched the top for the twine. Wallah! All under ten dollars. Trust me readers, making your own decor is SO much more fun and inexpensive!
OK so this photo...Ah, yes. The night I was pondering on ideas what to do for a large decor piece , I laid out thirty four light pink cupcake cups and took up a big part of my living room with this. I found decorative black sticks for the arrows and created this masterpiece for a giant heart. I then headed to photo grid to add this "Love" logo in the middle. After ten times arranging the heart to be a perfect shape and having my daughter want to constantly jump on them, it turned out just how I envisioned it! Needless to say, it was very easy!
I adore this Valentines Day card!
Because I can be a little obsessive with dolling up my babes, this is ONE of her outfits for Valentines Day morning. This heart shaped top is from H & M, pearls are from my Grandmother, heart shaped glasses I found at the dollar store in a pack of three, and the tutu I made myself. Going through my daughter's clothes, I found nothing but pink and red clothing. Eek! (I need to veer off in colors) but it did work in my favor by making it easy to chose apparel for a special day.
I just HAD to have Valentine leg warmers for Madi! Girls can never go wrong with these. Not only are they warm, they totally are a style favorite of mine. I looked everywhere and found these imperial shaped ruffled leg warmers on etsy. I also received this headband with it all for eight dollars! Now that's a steal. The shop I got it from is called "Redneckcandlesgifts" . The toddler girl accessories are just exquisite! Head on over and check them out!
Valentines day breakfast made with love! Heart shaped pancakes are my child's favorite! I'm not a big advocate on junkie breakfast eating, but we splurge on festive days! Not to mention, these are confetti pancakes with a twist of cut up apple slices. (Shh don't tell).
I just love adding in the chandelier to add a touch of the posh feel!
This was my favorite part! Decorating Madison's mini table! For the center piece I used a heavy duty cardboard rod that holds upholstery and wrapped it red durable fabric. I used burlap to tie a bow around the center of it. I then tied the white cut out glittered hearts and tied that also. I had found the red flowers and the glittered heart shapes on a stick all for five dollars to put in the center. The two-toned color heart shapes I bought at a craft store and hole punched them to add the twine in there for a heart banner. The love mug, heart straw and the mint "be mine" plate I had bought all for less than five dollars at the craft store. The tin can I bought at Target and used chalk to write "love" on it. I like to call this "decorating on the dime".
I took an aerial shot of her complete table! My heart has been so fulfilled with crafting and decorating for my daughter for this Valentines Day!
I have to brag a little bit here...I made my first chair backing envelope out of fabric and a small stitch job! I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I admit, it was my first rodeo on that kind of thing. Nothing a little fabric and sewing can't do. I wanted to keep this Valentines Day theme shabby chic with a vintage touch and but adding a vintage rose tablecloth to tie it all in.
Last but not least I am adding in a special guest. One of my best gal pals Shelby over at Mommyhood in Heels and Flats and I put our heads together and wanted to share both of our Valentines Day kiddies table setting decor together. So we are linking it up! Please check this lovely lady out! :)
Thank you for stopping on over readers and checking out my Valentines Day post! I hope you all share the love! Today go on and tell someone you love them. Saying "I love you" is never said enough...
I leave you with
"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then won't hurt"
