Hi there everyone!
LOVE
me some vintage post cards and anything Valentine’s day!
You already know that about me.
In fact what occasion or Holiday don’t I like to change it up for?
Easter is probably my least favorite because of pastel colors, I really don’t care for them in our home, however, I do make do.
So onto my Vintage whimsical Valentine Mantel this year.
Last year just around this time, is when we painted our fireplace surround. I never looked back!
So let’s start with the dollar tree decor.
Floating hearts, which I did last year as well on our Valentine Mantel 2013.
I simply hot glued a ribbon onto the heart and draped them, in different lengths. I then taped them to the mantel.
These little gift boxed are perfect just to toss around and add to the Valentine vibe.
Rose petals, also from the dollar tree.
I just used a few of these Valentine boxes for bakery goods and a Valentine gift idea.
Little fabric sticky hearts, from the dollar tree.
I embellished on just about everything in sight.
Heart picks in the urn and ribbon from the dollar tree.
I kept some of the winter greenery in the urns, it is still winter so it goes.
The XOXO came from Target many moons ago.
Vintage postcards, I believe my Mom bought me sometime ago and I just used them for the first time this year.
Kept the Christmas mantel red beads on, also from the dollar store and just used clothes pins to attach the cards.
Got my boys Christmas picture all framed and nice on the coffee table. First pic I have had of these boys together in a long time.
They fill my heart!
I already shared my Valentines burlap banner with you and here you can get a full view. Not much on it but the burlap
some of those fabric hearts
and I plunked some dollar tree rose heads in there.
Simple, but super cute and festive!
I do believe that’s all folks!
thanks for stopping by today.

Debbie, your mantel is gorgeous, and I adore those vintage Valentine’s cards! But the tree is the icing on the cake! So beautiful and festive looking! You’ve inspired me to finish my mantel today!
Love is in the air at your house and it looks GOOD!
Wow! You really go all out there Debbie. I adore your Valentine’s mantel and the tree is so cute.
Awesome mantel! You are the dollar store queen and you make it all look beautiful!!~~
Very pretty, Debbie! Love the XOXO. They are probably easy enough to make if Target doesn’t carry them anymore. That picture of your boys looks wonderful. It’s always nice to have a picture that isn’t a school picture when they are school age.
Gorgeous..Valentines is in the air at your home.I like the boys picture on the coffee table…it all looks so nice.
Everything looks so bright and festive! You must have an awesome Dollar Tree ~ ours? Not so much! Love the things you find. The photo of the boys is awesome! Great memory to treasure ~

Perfect mantel for V Day 🙂
Debbie your Valentine tree blows me away. I adore it. Love your mantle too and I am with you. No pink or pastels for Easter. I try and use more rustic looking things. Enjoy your day date. Hubby and I are having a date night tonight. So excited.
Thanks Enjoy your date night!
So warm and romantic . Red hearts are impressive and wonderful ambience.
Your mantel looks so pretty, Debbie. I love the hanging hearts & vintage Valentines. Painting your fireplace surround was the right thing to do. All your décor pops against it!
As always, your mantel and the area surrounding it is always so beautiful and festive in every season!
So pretty
1 I love the xoxo, the vintage cards and your Valentine tree! Really nice picture of your sons too! Hugs, Leena
I hope you got those heart boxes this year because I’m looking for some exactly like that and was planning to decoupage them myself. It would be nice to find them ready made.
I love it all, from boxes to rose petals to all things hanging. The red pops against your gorgeous mantel surround, too.
You always use thrifty elements in your decorating that look expensive! I love the Valentines and need to print out some more of the vintage images for projects. Happy weekend my friend!
Debbie super sweet vignette as always. Love that frame and picture of your boys really sweet.

Wow, it all looks so wonderful! I hate to admit it, but I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (or Halloween). I know, you probably want to shake me, but I never have. But you do make me want to rethink Valentine decorations!
Debbie 🙂
Beautiful mantel Debbie and I love your Valentine tree!!
You sure know how to “doo” it up, Debbie! I especially love the vintage postcards clothes-pinned to the beads.
I just found your site looking for Valentine ideas and I too love the Dollar Tree! You have decorated the mantle beautiful and you didn’t spend a lot, which is great in my book!!!!!! I will follow you on Pinterest too! Love your ideas!
Thanks, and welcome!
Your family will be in my prayers.
Debbie, you always create such great looks with dollar store items and your Valentine’s decor is just beautiful! I hope that your mother is continuing to improve with her health!
Hugs,
JP
