Valentine Pretties


{Photo via google}

Hello, everyone! Happy Thursday!

Yes, one day away from Friday and one day away from another very special day...you remember?? My birthday!!! Woo hoo! In all seriousness though, how exciting can one's twenty-third birthday be? Just another year closer to being a quarter of a century old? Oh, geez just forget I said that....

On a happier note, my house is all wrapped up in love with my Valentine decorations. I was getting a little down after the holiday splendor was boxed up. Did your house look as bare as mine did? I just couldn't handle it! So, I picked up a few things (mostly from TJ Maxx) to pep up the townhouse.


The front door of townhouse. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It is so much cozier than the picture shows.


Close up of the wreath on my door. A precious TJ Maxx find!


When I follow my heart...
This is one of my favorite flags ever. I would leave it out until summer if the neighbors wouldn't judge me. It's just so whimsical, I love it. I got it for $12.99 at Decorators Warehouse.


I got these place-mats and napkins in the dollar section at Target. Can you believe that? The place-mats were $2.50 a piece and the napkins were $2.50 for a pack of two! I thought it was a great deal.


I found this at TJ Maxx the same day I found the wreath. I love the little buttons and ribbon!


I am obsessed with holiday garland. I already have some for Easter, lol. I also found this at TJ Maxx. It's hanging in the doorway of my kitchen and adds the perfect touch.


More TJ Maxx finds! They seriously had some of the cutest Valentine stuff this year!

Well, I hope you enjoyed my little Valentine tour! Do you all have any lovey decorations on display at your house?

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

I don't decorate for valentine's day, but now I am going to have to take down anyone who is in my way at the t.j. maxx to get that heart wreath. I can't be blamed if people get hurt.
