Needing some color

After the holidays I think we all need some added color to our homes.  It may be a little early for Valentine decorating but I've decided its not too early for me.

I just rearranged some things in my house, took this shelf from an extra bedroom and added it to a blank kitchen wall.  Added a few of my vintage pieces and some vintage valentines.

Some pinks to cheer up my "winter season".

This little card was sent to me by my Secret Pal in the 1970's.

A valentine my daughter  received in elementary school (yes I keep everything).

I found this beautiful Valentine card in a 1920's yearbook I purchased at an antique store.

Do you feel the love?

Fruit stand

 In an effort to organize my kitchen as I am cooking at home much more this new year, I made a stand for the counter to hold fruits and vegetables.

These were more popular in times past, there are some available in antique stores at times but I wanted to make one like I had seen on Pinterest.

I found 2 metal dishes, some glass candle holders and a vintage silver serving tray.

I used my hot glue gun to attach all the pieces, I am still looking for a good glue that will adhere glass better.

After tidying up the counter, I added my fruit and vegetables.

I think altogether I spent around 8.00 for the whole project. Not too shabby.
