I'm not quite finished decorating for Valentine's Day just yet, but this weekend, I did manage to get the valentine's tea trolley decorated, and I plopped some valentine decor in other spots around the house, too, so I'm sure I'll share more as the days roll by.
But first, I can't believe it hadn't occurred to me before that I should put the tea trolley vintage valentine on the actual tea trolley!
I pulled out my pink faux feather tree as well and clipped some of my tea-themed vintage valentines to it.
At an antique store on Saturday, I found the vintage pink plastic heart box, which has a pink bottom and a clear lid. Some of you may remember when baby comb-and-brush sets came in heart-shaped boxes that were pink and blue. Well, this is the same sort of design, but the box is only four inches tall. Maybe it once held candy?
And I know these boxes once held candy! The local antique stores didn't turn up a single vintage heart-shaped candy box this year, but I did find the red one here for $10 on Facebook Marketplace last year.
There was a time I would have been horrified at the idea of decorating with plastic flowers, but now, I find them quite cute in a kitschy sort of way!
So beautiful Angela!
ReplyDeleteI love all the “classic” Valentines cards you’ve displayed on the feather tree. And of course, the trolley one is perfect!
