This cute little banner is courtesy of Martha Stewart and Home Depot - because it's nothing more than paint chips! I really like the BIG Martha paint chips - and they made this cute banner easy. And it was easy to pick out all the pretty pinks, purples, and reds. It's not exactly professional, because I hand-lettered it, but I like it, nonetheless.
I swagged it across the mantel, and decided that it needed a little 'sumpin-sumpin' to jazz it up. Fortunately, I had been to my favorite local thrift store - The Good Samaritan - earlier in the day, and picked up this dazzling Valentine's Day wreath. For. Three. Dollars. !
It's so pretty, with boa feathers twined betwen metallic shiny and matte hearts. There was a lady in front of me who had picked up another wreath, examining it. Apparently, she hadn't seen this one yet. And I wasn't one to stand around and let her get a chance to change her mind. I skinnied in there and snagged it. And isn't it a lovely thing? I was pretty tickled to see that $3.00 price tag on the back!
Well, the mantel is coming along. MMM has only been around for one year, and I have to say that for the many intervening years, when I had no sweetheart, I did nothing for Valentine's Day. It was just another day in the week. These last couple of years have been so much sweeter than I had ever hoped. This year, when I ask him to 'Be Mine?' - I am confident he'll say yes!
Have you kissed your sweetie today? No? Well, go do it right away! I'll be here when you get back!
Love,
Sass
