Valentine Party with Laurie

Attending Blog Parties is the equivalent
of attending  a high school mixer for me;
a chance to get to meet new people,
and then to get to know them.
Laurie, from
is one such person.
She's hostessing her first blog party this Friday;
A Valentine Party




This will be a grab-bag full of fun!


I'll be showing you a little of my
 Vintage Valentine goodies.

In my kitchen hallway I have a white sideboard
that I change  up seasonally and for each holiday!







This is a vintage cardboard candy box.
I just love the graphic on the front.
"The candy of the South"




And this box is very large.
It may have been Russell Stovers.
Whoever was delivering it must have had to wait
 out in the rain for his sweetheart.
Either that, or she ate them in the shower!




Rose wreath inside my front door...


and a heart shaped topiary on my Dining Room Buffet



My perpetual calendar is ready for the Big Day!


Downstairs I have a "Holiday Cupboard"
that is like the sideboard;
dressed for Valentine's Day!


Lefton Valentine Cherub covered dish.

Cocoa tin.


I love hankies, and these are my Valentines.
Wonderful for a purse or pocket.



And a tiny cross-stitch angel from about 20 years ago.
I will also be participating in
Joan's Valentine Party on Sunday,
so come back then, to see my old framed Valentines.


Have a wonderful Valentine weekend,

And may you "love the one your with"!
Debra

  14. How cute that V'tine heart wreath is on the bird cage. I love your comment about eating the candy in the shower! That cocoa tin is sooo cute! I have a perpetual calendar identical to that. It was my daddy's, and he kept it on his desk at the bank. That lacy looking tray it's on is so pretty. Thank you so much for joining the party. laurie

  21. Glad to know that I am not the only person who changes with the seasons. I do not have a sideboard but I decorate my bakers rack with the seasons. You have so many pretty things. I have a big collection of hankies too and totally forgot to put some out this week. Just get so busy some times:) Who is Joan who will have a link tomorrow? Happy Valentine's day to you.

  28. I feel so ashamed. I do good to decorate for Christmas and you do something special all the time. I am so not worthy!
    I'll have to love the one I'm with...he's all I got!
    Debbie
    P.S. Maybe the shower was a way of saying thank you to her hubby for the candy!
