Simple Little Touches

Welcome to the Vintage Valentine's Day Blog Hop hosted by Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home - she has gathered together a diverse group of bloggers from all over the country.

If you are visiting in order, then you were just in Utah visiting my dear friend Jann of Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson.

One of my goals this year is to decorate less and play more so I am keeping my Valentine decor to simple little touches.

The entry is a perfect spot to decorate for any holiday.

The dining room looks much the same as it does daily,

but a heart shaped wooden bowl sits atop the table.

The bowl is filled with shells found on beach walks (the star fish are all purchased), but in the center of the bowl is one of the numerous heart shaped rocks I have found on the beach.

A quick glance into the living room gives almost no indication that it is nearly Valentine's Day,

but a closer look shows books with hearts beneath the chair

and a little pot stamped with a heart.

A metal heart added to the clock/scale

finishes off the Valentine decor in this corner of living room.

The hallway got into the spirit of Valentine's Day

with a simple Valentine postcard tucked into the scale.

Our guest room always gets the most holiday decor and yes, I just had Steve swap this chair from the living room with the rocker that I showed last week.

There is now more space in the living room with the rocker and a nice little reading corner in the guest room.

A book, a heart and a goose are perfect on the chair

and all I have to do for spring is remove the book page heart Mr. Goose is wearing.

The typewriter always gets updated for holidays

And with those simple little touches, our house is ready for Valentine's Day.

Thanks for dropping by and now I send you off to Minnesota to my friend Linda of Itsy Bits and Pieces.

Be sure to visit all the blogs on this fun hop.
