As Valentine's Day approaches, it is a perfect time to display hearts - all over the house . . .
in the entryway . . .
in the kitchen . . .
on the dining room shelf . . .
and a little dining room table.
Hearts on the mantel in the living room . . .
in bottles and baskets . . .
on books . . .
and in projects waiting to be finished.
This must be home because it is definitely where the heart is.

ReplyDeleteThat's a great thing to do, I'm going to have to fine all my hearts now, thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteCarol, you have a beautiful and diverse collection of hearts. I love each and every one! I've said it before and I'll say it again.....your home is such a happy place...:) Love it....Vicky
ReplyDeleteLove your little heart banner. I just tried one with buttons. All your valentine touches look nice. I'm wondering why this post did not show up in my reader.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I have always been drawn to hearts in everything I do - even my career was a cardiac nurse... I love hearts and you definitely have a wonderful collection of them... Cathy
ReplyDeleteYou do have a house, I mean, heart full, or a houseful of hearts. Love them all....you're so talented in artfully decorating your home.
ReplyDeleteYep, I think you've got your hearts in every room - beautiful! I love hearts, too, and wish I had more, must be on the lookout! I'm also loving the quilts in the wire basket, oh so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteMary
You always make your home look like so much fun...lots of handmade things mixed in with old and new! I love your style and would feel right at home there, too! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love hearts as well! You have such a beautiful and varied collection! I'm sure you enjoy decorating with them and looking at them throughout this season! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with those jars and the shelf! Great idea! Such pretties. I am your newest follower. Maybe you can drop by for a visit and follow me.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Bonnie
Carol I love all your hearts around the house. The hearts in the jars are so fun. Love that. Love your heart banners too. It is all so cute. Love that little rustic heart on the white crochet bag too very sweet.
ReplyDeleteKris

ReplyDeleteAll your scattered Valentines hearts throughout your home are so sweet. Again I came for a visit and left happy and smiling. You my dear have a true kind heart that embraces life to it's fullest. Always a powerful heartfelt message you weave into your post.
Have a wonderful weekend.
XOXO,

From one heart lover to another I love all of yours especially the ones on the door. I have been posting more of my hearts on my blog too.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your home Carol, and the hearts look just adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of hearts lady! And I am telling you that I would be sneaking a couple of those heart candies from those adorable mason jars! Your home is always so warm and cozy! Yes home is where the heart is!!! A wonderful day to you tomorrow! We are in for another round of snow!! Never ending I tell you! Nicole xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful collection of hearts, Carol. Fun to see all of these. Spreading a little heart around here too. '-)
ReplyDeleteYour collection of hearts is so varied and interesting. This post is also a good reminder to me to bring out the small heart collection I have, too.
ReplyDeleteOh carol I too love hearts and have them out and about. I never thought about doing a post just on them. I love each and every one you have. I have lots to make up for Valentine's Day and do hope to get into the studio this weekend. I tried earlier in the week but that was aborted shortly after I got in there. Thank you for sharing all of yours.
ReplyDeleteGood collection of hearts. They look beautiful and unique. Happy weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI want to put hearts all over my house too. Your heart collection is amazing! My kids would love it too!
ReplyDeleteLove all the wonderful hearts, all the little areas around the house get a little dose of sweetness, you gotta love that...loved all the ideas and I think I will have to steal a couple of them...thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable collection of sweethearts, Carol! Love the little red ones dangling from the doorknob!
ReplyDeletePoppy
Beautiful and happy, colourful home decor. I love the shelf with the jar lids attached beneath:-)
ReplyDeleteTina
You have the best hearts all around your home!!! Love your inspiration and creativity!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
I ♥ your ♥'s, Carol!
ReplyDelete:)
I'm seeing words overlapping, too.
I've had that happen because my font was a notch too large.
I don't know if that would be the same issue here or not.
Hi Carol, your home is a delight with the display of your wonderful heart collection. I love hearts too. Your blog is such a lovely place to visit. Always uplifting and inspiring. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletehugs
Love your hearts!! I have a few that I'll get out once I get home!! This weekend I hope! I miss my kitty and Tiger and the kids!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your love of hearts. It's always so much fun to see all your pops of color.
ReplyDeleteThe hearts represent you well since you have such a big one yourself. Love your vignettes.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't kidding about loving hearts! I especially like the garland of hearts with the floral embellishments.
ReplyDelete-Karen
So many hearts all displayed in so many different ways..... wonderful. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteOh, Carol, your last line...my heart is melting with pure love for you! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection! Thank you for sharing. I love that sculpture of two hands.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful array of hearts!!
ReplyDeleteJudy
Hello Carol, Now, in a post before this you mentioned making felt hearts in the car on your ski trip. They were for a garland . . .could it have been one of the two that you show in your photos? Those are so cute . . . you must do a little tutorial :)
ReplyDeletePlease, please, please . . . As always, your home is a little gem. I get this happy feeling each time I visit. It is always so cheerful and now so "love"ly, too :)
Like you, I love hearts! I especially love the collection you have going in that round, wire basket. I've been wanting to collect handmade, stitched hearts but alas, I don't sew. I've looked on etsy and wow, their prices are so expensive. Will just have to keep looking at thrift shops.
ReplyDeleteYour collections of heart shaped objects is very impressive! I love the different and colorful examples you've shown. The rag wreath heart reminds me of my childhood. If I remember right my mom and I made one together.
ReplyDeleteSo many hearts. I have a few heart things. I am working on a quilt for Piper now that has several heart shapes on it :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of pretty hearts around your home. Sweet collection!
ReplyDeleteSo, so true.
ReplyDeleteI love hearts too. In our house, because my husband is a Dane, the symbol most used for Christmas is the heart - and then I just let it slide towards Valentine's Day!
My dear Carol,
ReplyDeleteI had to run off early yesterday to trudge through a treacherous highway of snow to get to school. I missed this fabulous post that always gives me a ray of California sunshine and friendship. Thank you for loving the home so much...it is where we all love to be. Anita
A beautiful collection of hearts!
ReplyDeleteI think we all love hearts because they symbolise our love.
The little felt heart banner is so sweet!
I love your heart, especially the red ones hanging from your knob.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with those hearts on the string! So sweet! Happy February!
ReplyDeletelots of red and lots of pretty hearts.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love hearts. :)
ReplyDeletedefinitely home is where the heart is, or in your case hearts, lots of them. Wonderful
ReplyDeleteCarol, I know how much you love hearts. That must be why you have such a big and loving heart! I love your little garlands and saw one over at Holly's Cutie Pie Cottage earlier today. Hop over and see if you haven't yet. She gives you a shout out. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
You have a nice collection of hearts around your home. I really like hearts too. They're such a classic in country decorating and in Nordic design as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of hearts! I really like the banner of stuffed hearts with the flowers on front!
ReplyDeleteLove all the hearts you have...have a great evening!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful heart collection! Love all the ways you have used them around your home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful & diverse collection of hearts you have! I have a small display of hearts which I received from my swap partner last Valentine's Day ... and that's it! Your decorating puts me to shame ;) Wendy x
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, I love all those hearts! I think I have one or two somewhere and now you've inspired me to find them and put them out. They look so wonderfully welcoming. I especially love the little growing plant heart. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love love love hearts too! Always been heart crazy. Glad to know I'm not alone! Love all yours!
ReplyDeleteI love every single collage and every single heart you have in your beautiful home Carol! What a delight to have seen this post today.
ReplyDeletehugs...
All of your hearts are just beautiful. What a festive home!
ReplyDeleteYour heart garlands are adorable, Carol!! I've got to go back and look again. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh what a happy place you have there.
ReplyDeleteYour home is very loveable!! Hearts!!!
Wow look at all the hearts. Sew sweet. I love the hands holding the heart and the basket of hearts and the tulips..OH MY. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy bff loves hearts too, so it's easy to buy her things. She also loves cooking and pink, and one year I found her a pink heart shaped baking dish, it was adorable.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks very pretty Carol, especially the mini garlands, so cute.
