I don't normally decorate a lot for Valentine's Day, just a few pops of red here and there, and maybe a pic or two of the grands wearing something red.
Last week, I was thrilled to find these vintage books at the antique/decor shop, and, I knew they were just what I needed to make a little vignette on the secretary.
Sonnets from the Portuguese, by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Each page has sweet silhouettes to accompany her poems.
Sweet silhouettes, and sweet treats...
Black and white shortbread hearts from Costco.
You didn't think I made them did you? :)
Wishing all of you a Happy Valentine's Day!

Babs, the little books are treasures and the perfect touch of red. Love the silhouettes!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Of course, we thought you baked the heart shaped cookies for your sweetie, Babs!
Lovely vignette, books, flowers, and photos of loved one, can't get much better than that.
Have a great week!
Beautiful! Red becomes your home and February is the month to whip it out! Pretty vignette!

Love the books and the touches of red, Babs! Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day!
I pinned your secretary vignette. I really like it. I've been reluctant to add a small lamp to mine, but seeing yours gives me confidence that I'm making the right choice. I love the vintage books, too. Great score!
Happy Valentine's Day, dearest Babs!!!!!
I love the oh so elegant silhouette illustrations of your book. What a find! The lamp is pretty with those grands in red! visitng from The Scoop at Stonegables. Linda @bushelandapickle.com

These are beautiful vignettes, Babs -- I especially love the first picture. What a wonderful find on the Elizabeth Barrett Browning book; those silhouettes are perfect for her poetry. Great ideas for Valentine's decor, and I love your pretty tulips, too. :) Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a good weekend.
Hugs,
