Last Minute Vintage Valentine's Day

Here it is the day before Valentine's Day and I'm sticking to my usual "M.O." by waiting to the last minute to share the rest of my holiday décor. I like to use the blog as a visual of my holiday decorating, so I had a few vignettes yet to share. 

Vintage Valentine Assemblage Under Glass

Scrolling through Pinterest is one of my bedtime rituals. It's relaxing to turn off my busy brain and just look at inspirational vintage décor pics. My home feed is great, but at times I like to do a search on a topic, which is usually some kind of seasonal/holiday specific décor and DIY. Since it's Valentine's Day month I wanted to check out small vintage vignettes and cloches with vintage ephemera.

How to Make an Easy Faux Ivy Heart Topiary

I love topiaries of all kinds and for all seasons. Real plants of course make beautiful décor accents, but for me can easily go "kaput". I try to keep several small ivy plants going throughout the year, but for some reason I didn't have any candidates this year suitable for an ivy topiary. You have to have a relatively full plant with longer tendrils, (which I didn't have) so I thought I'd try a faux ivy topiary using elements I had on hand.
