Then why not two?
You can see I used my vintage RC Cola crates and my ever present candle sticks. Though they never have an actual candle in them, they are huge favorite of mine and are always out somewhere in the house.
Then, I sort of figured if I stole the plate… that the little votive holder would be lonely, so I stole it too.
(that poor vignette is now dead)
The mantel needed the “sparkle” so it sacrificed itself.
So selfless!!
And there you have it.
My Valentine’s Day Mantel.
Hope you are not tired of the coffee filter wreath.
It goes with everything.
Best wreath I have ever made!
I’ll tell you what I am tired of…
That aqua wall!!!
Great in person. Love it. I do.
But… a real pain to take a decent photo of.
I think it’s on it’s last legs.
Well, I know it’s on it’s last legs.
(I have an inside source)
I’ll be showing you what I’ve got going on
over here… soon 😉
A Valentine’s Day Mantel {the thrifty-crafty way!}
Appearance in full on any site other then Fox Hollow Cottage is theft!

Which island were you on when you went to Hawaii? I used to live there for several years. Your diy art, (everything you do is art, by the way), is fabulous! You are such an inspiration! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Kelly x0x0
