Sweetheart Tree for the Month of Love

A very dear friend , Christine, creates touches of loveliness  throughout her home.

She's an artist who also loves to create vignettes of all kinds.


She usually has attractive centerpieces on her tables, too.

For example, she just revamped a Christmas tabletop tree into a "sweetheart tree!"

While it is perfect for the upcoming month of love, why not display it longer, like before and after Valentine's Day?


After all, this world needs all the love it can get.

As you can see, Chris sent several photos of her tree for you to see but said it's even prettier in person.  

Here's what she has to say about her creation:

"I stripped the birds and garland off of my little fir tree.

I bought four  bunches of roses and three bunches of baby's breath.

Also hearts on sticks ( three pkgs) and 1 pkg. of heart foil garland.    

Total cost...$11.00.

I wound the garland around one time, in tiers.

Clipped the roses off the bunches. 

Placed them all (24 singles) inside the branches.

Cut up the baby's breath....placed in between branches and roses.

Filled in with hearts on a stick and another go round with the heart foil garland!

Done.....no more than 30 minutes to make this" Sweetheart Tree!"

Isn't that tree as pretty as a picture?  

Thanks, Chris, for sharing it with us!
