February 2024 – HOME ON THE CORNER

Good morning! Can you believe we are almost halfway through the month! And just a reminder, Valentine’s Day is next week!! Are you looking to make something for someone special? Here a few different ideas you could make this weekend.

These wreaths are great for the season and so easy! You could use different colors for different season and holidays too. Chas’crazycreation came up with this cute idea.

How cute are these tea towels? Design Improvised made these adorable towels. I love these and they would make such a cute gift too!

How about these cute little tags from Linda at It All Started With Paint? I love the simplicity of this! You could join several together and make a garland too. She has lots of great ideas on her blog.

This is a cute and easy Love frame idea from Quirky Inspired! Wood frames and sheet music can easily be found at thrift stores or they can be picked up at craft stores. Use stickers to decorate the rest!

This would be a great idea to give to friends! Fill with their favorite candy and they will be thrilled! HubPages created these cuties. You can find them here.

This is such as sweet little heart! Kay’s Place created this one, but think of all the possibilities you could make with different colors and designs!

Are you a lover of discarded pieces and hardware? Maybe this is perfect for you! This cute sign was made by Kathy at Petticoat Junktion.

This Love sign is as simple as can be! The sign, some confetti and glue is all you need! Karianne over at Thistlewood Farms created this!

Maybe you want to treat your feathered friends to something special for the day. So cute! Check it out at Thrifty Jinxy.

Our last one today is for your pet! Or maybe the owner of the pet. Isn’t this so cute?! I just love little paw prints! You can find it at Rover.com.

So many ideas! Are you going to make something special for your Valentine? I would love to hear about it! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hello! I hope you are all ready because this blog post is going to be a fun one! So hold onto your hats and hold on until the end! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

So it’s becoming that time again for all of the love. You know what I’m talking about. Hearts in red and pink all over the stores shelves. And not only in the stores, but also online as well. And Oriental Trading is all about the holidays.

And after much deliberation on what to pick from their website, I finally decided on doing a tablescape. So after doing a lot of shopping around and putting things in my cart and taking them out, I finally ordered my things and started my tablescape.

And here it is! I love how it turned out and love each piece that I picked out. So lets see what I picked.

The first thing is this cute candy jar. It has a small chalkboard on the front so you can write what kind of candy is in it. Or, you can draw a heart on it like I did. But it fits quite a bit of candy in it, so go bananas!

The next thing is the heart tree, if that’s what you want to call it. It’s a tree in a small pot that you can bend and shape however you want to. It’s only about 18 inches tall, so it won’t block your view of your loved one.

There’s also the rose garland in the middle of the table. I added the pink puffball garland and the white puffball garland as well, just to add some stuff to the middle.

And these jewels? Yep, bought them from Oriental. I bought a pink, black, and clear pack so I had a variety to spread around the table. Each color came in a pack of 25 diamonds, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.

The plates were also purchased from Oriental. And the silver place mats! Okay, the place mats were from mom from the last time we worked with Oriental, but they looked great with the rest of the tablescape. I bought the small candy baking cups from the 99 Cent Store, but they looked so good with the plates.

So this is what the table looks like from above! It’s so cute!

The last thing I got from Oriental was this pretty gold LOVE sign. It sat so nicely on the cake plate in the background of the photos. And I must say that I am very excited to put this on my gallery wall in my apartment.

Side note: out cat Kiara is extremely nosy and wants to be in the middle of EVERYTHING.

And finally, we found some cute pet clothes for Valentine’s Day at the 99 Cent Store which we had to buy. Repeat HAD TO. So we had a little doggy (and kitty) photoshoot for the holiday!

Obviously, Kiara looks annoyed that I took her photo, but I love her all the better! And Ezzy is on a different couch because she is our senior citizen and I didn’t want to move her.

So that was my fun with Oriental. I love how the table turned out, but I love the animals as well. Have a good Wednesday!
