Visual Valentines

I love to go shopping, and part of the fun is checking out the store window displays, especially the holiday ones. Creativity and Visual Displays go hand in hand when it comes to merchandising, and what could be more of a challenge that taking a large empty space and transforming it into a shopping fantasy. It's been awhile since I've been shopping in St. Louis, but I was wondering what kind of Valentine fun I was missing. Anthropologie and Louis Vuitton are always ones you can count on to be out-of-the-box amazing. Here are a few images from some Valentine Inspired store window displays...

all images from my Pinterest board, Valentines

and here are a few images of Valentine fun from blogposts, past.

And just to round things out,

 I decided to go ahead and display my red transferware in my new old/cupboard.

Have a wonderful Valentine's Evening...

Be Inspired #176

Hi Everyone and Welcome to 

Be Inspired

Do you have big plans for Valentine's Day?

How fun to have it land on a Friday, for all of you "date night" peeps. We eat out several times over the weekend, so I imagine we'll do our regular Friday Night, "Movie Night" with some take out Indian Food. Movie Night consists of a Netflix choice and after dinner a large gray cat camping out on my lap for the duration. Miss Wrigley prefers something quiet and romantic, as she hates car chases and loud explosions. However you spend your evening, just let it be with the ones you love!

OK, on to the party. 

Let's check out some of the wonderful links from last week:

The always amazingly creative, Julia, from Vintage With Laces

made this wonderful Junky LOVE Sign

Leave a love note for your sweetie, with these Mini Love Letters

from Kerryanne at Shabby Art Boutique

This Secretary ReDeux started out needing all kinds of help.

The perfect challenge for Karen from Redoux Interiors.

How wonderful are these Personalized Grain Sack Cards?

from Lori at Marvin's Daughters

I'm hoping she'll do special orders!

Laurie from Heaven's Walk found that her fabric stash was taking over her studio.

So she created this Vintage Blue Cabinet, which looks like a real vintage piece.

These are a great project; DIY Column Pedestals 

from Poppy at With a Dash of Color.

Need a special Valentine breakfast? 

Whip up a batch of these yummy Scones and Jam
