I am feeling totally off my game at the moment. Not into the crafting, not into the cleaning or organizing, just Meh. LOL My china cabinet sat empty for weeks after I cleared out the Christmas stuff. I finally decided I should fill it up this week, but figuring out what to put in there for Valentine's Day is a challenge for me.This year I put all my millinery flowers in rose teacups, added some glass bead pics in vases, the vintage candy boxes my husband gave me last year, and called it good. It was a little empty though.
When I saw the gorgeous glittery Eiffel Towers on Jerusalem's blog , I knew they were the perfect filler for the cabinet. I just cut and glittered some card stock.
My most precious Valentine collectibles are my two old cake toppers, picked up at a garage sale and a flea market this summer.
They are so sweet, and I really adore them. I wish they were easier to find, I would have loads of them!P.S.I wish it were easier to take pictures in the winter. It is so hard to find any decent light. Guess I had better get on figuring out that new camera, eh?
Oh Sarah, I'm totally feeling the same way. I had grand schemes of making some Valentine decorations, but I still have yet to accomplish that. And after stripping my mudroom of decor, it has sat for two weeks naked, but I don't have any inspiration for it.
ReplyDeleteLove your glitter towers, kudos for you for whipping those up so quick!
Have you finished your Valentines?
Tiff
Sarah sometimes it is so hard to get enthusiastic over anything after we have had the christmas rush. We all feel a bit flat!

It looks great! I'd love to see a picture of your whole cabinet. It sounds like a lovely combo.
ReplyDeleteI'll be making myself some of those towers. thank you
LOVE LOVE LOVE the towers!! Oh, I so need those!! Hope y'all have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteoh i love it all! the towers are too cute, and I love your cake toppers. I have some of those that are going in the shoppe in April... I want to see your cabinet all dolled up for V-day!
ReplyDeleteJanuary is a tricky time for the mehs., isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour Eiffel towers are lovely - hopefully that sparkle will help eliminate the mehs. completely!
Gorgeous cake toppers! And your towers are very fun. Unfortunately I have glitter-a-phobia. I love the way it looks but hate the way it sheds everywhere!
ReplyDeleteSooo cute! Great idea on the cake toppers. I've been feeling bleh too. I think it is post-holidays, middle of the winter blues. I bought a heart decoration at Michaels and that is all I have.
ReplyDeleteI love the Eiffel Towers! SOoo sweet and perfect for V-day! I'm off my game too... I barely got Christmas decorations up let alone V-day... my poor kids! LOL!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to big boy Jack for that potty thing! They do it when they're ready :) You're so smart!
I have no Valentine's decorations up at all....I'm not good at decorating for any season but Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I love seeing everyone else's stuff! I have a hard time recovering after Christmas-must be the winter blues for us all!
ReplyDeleteI was ahead, then I got into making a toy kitchen, now I am behind. My Christmas cards and manger are still up!! This weekend is the weekend I switch to Valentines Day. I am making good progress on the valentines for the swap tho!
ReplyDeleteOh how I LOVE those little Eiffel Towers! Not enough to actually make them (you did make them right?). But for sure enough to come back here over and over again to admire yours!
ReplyDeleteI think we are all feeling the same way, I just cna't sem to get myself to create anything.
ReplyDeleteI love how you filled your cabinet with such sparkley goodness. Love, I repeat, Love the vintage cake swappers. Those are so cool, sometimes I wish vintage items could just tell you their story I know they would have some good ones.
Your so cleaver, it looks so French and romantic. Clarice
ReplyDeleteGosh, those cake-toppers bring back memories of walking to the neighbourhood bakery with my grandmother, and how as a little kid, I was more excited to see the wall of vintage cake-toppers there than I was the doughnuts ...
ReplyDeleteSarah- I have been feeling the same way. Love the valentine decor. Happy Sunday.

Sarah-YAY! you and your Bon Jovi boys won my little tag giveaway! Shoot me an email with your address, ok??? Congratulations-I'm so looking forward to making it! xo-Mel
ReplyDeleteLove your Eiffel towers! Very glittery and Valentin-ish!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the after Christmas blues are trying to creep up on you. You've gotta beat em back with a stick! A pretty stick :) And those treasures certainly are pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow, those cake toppers are hard to find! The towers are so cute, I just love all your projects!
ReplyDeleteThose cake toppers...scrumptious!!! They truly are the perfect Valentine's collectible!! You have such a great eye...
