I just can't stop with how adorable all of these vintage valentines are, so I came up with five MORE ways to display them!

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN 1. Can you ever have too many Valentine's Day pillows? This one is super cute because of the knit detail on each heart. It is the perfect blend of winter cozy and Valentine's Day. 2. I am styling a fun Valentine's Day bar cart this year and this pom-pom garland will be just what it needs to sparkle.

The Vintage Hunt – February Edition

February is on of my favorite months (a close second behind September). It's my birthday month, the month of LOVE, and typically the time of year we take a little vacay! I am an avid Valentine's Day decorator, so many of these pieces center around the day all about LOVE! Keep your eyes peeled for these sweet vintage items!

Last summer I lost so many vintage Christmas ornam Last summer I lost so many vintage Christmas ornaments in a freak flood in the lower part of our crawl space. When I tell you it was so depressing to see so many ornaments covered in mold and all of the color peeling off of them, it was bad 😞 

But yesterday I found the most magical collection at an estate sale. The entire basement was Christmas, it was like a dream. I am so thankful to have found these and I will definitely cherish them! Cheers to halfway to Christmas! πŸŽ„β€οΈπŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ’šπŸŽ„
