Hearts and Roses for the Day of Love

Okay, it's the last day of January. That means Valentine's Day is in two short weeks!

If I don't start decorating, before  I know it, the holiday will be long gone.

So, little by little, I've been bringing things down from the attic to decorate. Trust me, that takes a lot of effort because baby it's c-c-c-c-cold up there.

Today I'm going to show you the hall table and then, in other posts, I'll finish up. Fair enough?

Well, I cannot tell you how wonderful it has been smelling a strawberry scented Yankee candle. Oh man alive, it's just sumptuous. Smells like "strawberry fields forever."

The ceramic heart-shapes can be used for little cakes but they also adorn the table, along with the rose wreath.  In the middle of it is another candle.

There's another little heart with a votive candle in the middle of it. And a little teddy bear oversees the whole shebang.

Uh oh. That round thing with the black finger-print looking mark is actually the cover to the candle. When I go to bed at night, I put it on top to extinguish the flame. Should have taken it off the table for the photo. Sorry.

There are red doilies and laces on the table, too. 

Here's my gah gah candy dish. Now isn't that the pizazz?  It makes you feel like the Queen of England when you grab that handle and lift off the top.

After Christmas, one of the supermarkets around here had packages of Hershey Kisses at 75 percent off the regular price.  Imagine!

So I picked up a couple of bags, removed all the green ones (okay, noshed on them, too), and the red ones are perfect for Valentine's Day.  

It's starting to look "festivas."
