Now that the eighteen boxes of Christmas decorations are packed away, I have a house full of empty shelves and table tops! I miss the twinkle and the sparkle, but it's nice to have everything feel so clean and fresh.

It seems like almost every year I miss out on the really good Valentine's Day decor. But not this year! I've been hitting the stores like crazy in search of some heart-shaped goodies to display. Most stores don't even have their Valentine's wares out yet, but JoAnn's already had theirs on sale. Go figure.


You all won't be surprised that I started in the kitchen. I was really happy to spy these adorable heart plates at Target the other day. Good thing too, because at $2.99, these will be gone in a flash. They had some really cute things, and I had to use restraint to keep from snapping it all up. I have a lot of red tchotchkes already, so I plan to use all of those to help create my Valentine's Day displays.


But one of my main objectives was to find discounted Christmas decorations to use for the Valentine's holiday. Abby and I cleaned up at the WalMart 75% off sale. Can I just say Valentine's tree this year?!! I have wanted to do one every year. So yes, there's still a little twinkle and sparkle here :) It's almost put together, so I'll show it off soon!
