I made a few little hearts to use in an apothecary jar.
A couple of people asked where I got the pink candy corn. I think I got it at the grocery store last year. Do not try to eat it! It's so hard it'll break a tooth! I googled Valentine candy corn and there were quite a few places where you could find some.
I've already told you a couple of times that I haven't had an original idea since 1986. Well, here's further proof. ML from the House of Whimsy posted one of these cute hearts on a stick so of course I had to copy. They're $1.00 marshmallow hearts from Walmart. Remove the plastic stick, wrap some scrapbook paper around a little dowel, attach a few leaves, replace the stem, stick them in a cute pot and you're done.
I saw this adorable heart in Cherry's etsy shop last year and had to have it. She has some wonderful things this year too.
This little lamp hanger came from Cherry too. You can't tell from this picture but the ivy is in the shape of a heart.
I don't have a huge amount of Valentine decorations, but I do have a few things. I love the heart shape and it's out year round in wreaths and such. Valentine's Day comes at the perfect time. A little bright spot in the middle of a cold and gray winter. Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with people and things that you love.

You did a good job "Foofing"....and just an FYI for other commentors.....Walgreens carries the V-Day candy corn....Fresh I hope!!
Hi Mimi!

Lot of love going on around the cottage.
Oooooo! Love it!
You crack me up! Truly!! I so haven't had an original thought for about that same amount of years either! LOL
Valentine's day is a bright spot in a cold and grey winter for sure.
Is that a mini sketch of Mimi's cottage in the last picture?
I loved ML's sucker hearts too. Yours are GREAT as well.
Enjoy your day!

Your house looks so cozy and cute. I didn't get out any decorations yet. Hmmm. I don't think I am going to. I know I am being a grump.
Your decorations all look so festive Mimi. Don't you love all the wonderful sellers on Etsy. I have a card that Cherry made...I try to buy from my favorites. I had to laugh about your comment regarding the candy corn. I'll try to remember if I ever come to your house NOT to try to eat it.

You have so many pretty things!! Wow - it looks wonderful.
All of your valentine decorations look wonderful, and I especially love that amaryllis! I'm going to Google valentine candy corn right now!
Have a great day!
Carol
P.S. I would probably still eat that rock hard candy!
Hi Mimi, I loved visit through you valentine cottage. I have family for valentine crab dinner sunday and I want so badly to have some sweet decorations, but I have been so busy and crazy I haven't time to make them. Ok you say, why are you on the computer when you could be sewing cute hearts for your jars like Mimi, and I say, because I'm behind on my blogging and I'm going crazy.
OK, take a deep breath. I have to do a new post and then I sew... you'll see.
hugs and kisses

I love your pretty Valentines decorations. The hearts you made are very pretty. I hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day.

One of the dollar stores has the marshmallow hearts already made into lollipops; i think it was Dollar General, not sure.
Also, I saw the V'Day candy corn at WalMart last year.
Awww, thanks for the mention and link. You're such a sweetheart, Mimi Sue. You've made my day by using this silly little idea I had. Your three in one pot is ADORABLE!!!
Much love,
Mary Lou

Hi Mimi, I feeling better, I'm going in the shop for a few hours today, 1-3 and a few hours tomorrow, 11-2.

I heart you!
I found pink candy corn at Winco...
and it was soft;)
Mimi Sue,
I didn't know that was you! It hard to me to get connection between blog life & 'real' life. I am getting ready to put a lot more cute red & white country stuff on. Downsizing collections.
I love you look of "LOVE'! So pretty, and yes the snow is everywhere. Happy Valentines Day Lisa
