I LOVE decorating for each holiday and season. I'm not sure if my family likes it as much as I do - but one can hope!
I also love the look of sparkly candy in a glass bowl - so pretty!
Sunday was spent making those pretzel sticks. First, I dipped them in caramel and then after drying, I dipped them into chocolate and then added sprinkles. The plan in my head didn't turn out so well as the caramel stuck to the wax paper and I had to work really hard to get them off without the paper sticking to them. Even after I dipped them in chocolate the caramel still stuck to everything. Needless to say, I lost a few. But they are delicious! I had hoped to send some into school this week for our Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week and/or Valentine's Day on Friday, but we're currently homo on snow days and I don't think we'll be back until after our Mid-Winter Break next week. Sigh.
Do you decorate for Valentine's Day? I've become a big fan of these cute burlap banners that my friends makes. Luckily for me (or unluckily?) she lives two doors down so they are far too easy to get!! But they add so much to a room.
I love my Door Bucket arrangement so much that I only take it down for Christmas so I like to change up my tiered basket for the holidays/seasons to change up the look. I've said over and over that your front door is the first welcome to your home so it should be very inviting.
I'm constantly changing up the centerpiece on my formal dining table, probably because we only sit here for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners or when we have a houseful of people that can't all fit in the breakfast nook. But I've fallen in love with this glass look, which is one that is easy to change simply by adding different things to the glass hurricane's. Look how little my boys are? They are growing up way too fast.
Conversation Hearts are such a great candy to use for decoration. And I'm sure your teeth and dentist will thank you for using them like this instead of eating them (although I could probably eat a whole bag in one sitting).
I found this cute little birds nest at Michael's and, as usual, got the wrong size. They have a smaller one that I thought would be too small but, of course, the big one just barely fit sitting on top.
A few simple Valentine items placed about change up the look without taking up too much room. I really love the tulips dripping down out of the lantern.
Did I mention how much I like burlap pennants? If you want to order for yourself, check out Distinctive Decorating for all her pieces or to place an order!
