day 2: operation valentine's day

{i resisted the urge to call it valentinification...}

love rocks

here is my valentine's center piece.


my usual cake stand with a galvanized tin heart i picked up at hl for $8. {pricey for me, but i love it, so worth it!}


filled it with love rocks. love rocks? yep. rocks with expressions of love that i wrote with a sharpie. think rocks meet conversation hearts.

a heart attack

decided to actually decorate for valentine's day this year. {i'm itching for a project!}

so last night i headed to hobby lobby with a mission: find valentine's day decor that is natural, and not the normal frufru cupids and bright red hearts.


so i picked up just about every unfinished heart product in the store.

the plan? paint and crackle finish them whites and browns. valentine's meets natural.
