I’ve never put together a “Valentine’s Mantel,” but it is super fun…even my kids got into this project! You know you’re a blogger when the kids ask, “Is this candy for us or the blog?”
Needing a little height, I pulled candlesticks and white candles that I use year-round and popped a few cardboard glitter hearts onto them with tape. The hearts are from the after-Valentine’s sale at Wal-mart last year.
A few tea light candles to make it extra cozy at night, and the mantel is complete!
Hope you’ve been inspired today to bring a little Valentine’s into your own home!
If you’d like to stay up-to-date with more fun, seasonal projects, I’d love for you to join us on Facebook or subscribe through your favorite reader…all in the right sidebar!

Love it! The candy heart tree is awesome. I haven’t been much into the smaller holidays since the kids are now older, but I just might have to put together a Valentine mantel this year.

I love the pink boa wreath. I put valentine candy in my apothecary jars too, but never chocolate. I would be refilling them every day!

So many great things to try here. I adore the conversations hearts topiary. Thanks for stopping by. The Creamy Baked Chicken Spaghetti recipe is from the Pioneer Woman. You can find it on Google. It is so easy, and it is truly delicious! She starts it by saying ” You must make this tonight…I mean it!”. She has another baked spaghetti recipe that is more involved. So far, I’m very happy with the friendly one. Cherry Kay

Oh! How cute! It turned out really well! I laughed when you talked about decorating the mantel for Valentine’s Day. I was like “people decorate their mantels for Valentine’s Day?”

I love the candy heart tree. Pinned it to my Pinterest board and within minutes, it had already been repinned dozens of times. Hope you don’t mind that I featured it on my blog. It was just too neat not to share.
