This past Christmas I put up a little white tree in my studio and decorated
it with vintage pink ornaments and white lights. I enjoyed the tree so
much that I felt sad about taking it down.
So instead of taking down the whole tree, I just took off the Christmas
ornaments and decided I would put hearts on the tree for Valentine's Day.
I started making little fabric hearts and then as usual my muse entered
the scene and the next thing I knew, sewing notions were being added
as well.
It all seemed appropriate for my studio.
Tape measures, baby rick rack, buttons and pin cushions are
now decorations on the branches.
Familiar things used in a different way.
Paper doilies have been tweaked.
With a vintage Valentine card as a tree topper.
Frivolous fun!
Bentley has decided he is a cat. He brought in a dead bird from
the garden this afternoon. I had a hard time getting it away from
him. Made me feel sad too.
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Cute valentine tree, Susan. The sewing notions and heart doilies are perfect accents.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
What a fab idea. Sue So pretty. Sad about the bird.....But Bentley was just showing his mum.

So cute! I did something like that with my white tree this year also!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling tree! So sweet and dainty and Valentiney looking. Love it. How far from Houston are you?

I am 2 hours from Houston. I go there quite often. It's a bit like going home for me because I lived there for ten years.
DeleteOh Brenda, the birds have just covered my bird feeder outside my kitchen window this winter. Each morning I stand in the window watching as I have my first cup of hot spiced tea. Today my cat killed one of the 4 Quail who come to feed each day. I am heart broken. But that is the way of nature...unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteHow cute this is...I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, the ornaments are sweet and adorable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful heart tree. All the little hearts are so adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat is the sweetest thing ever. We have a Vday tree too but in red but I just adore the little buttons and the white tree. I have been wanting a little white tree for a while cause they are just so light and cheery and bright.
ReplyDeleteCute, little tree, Susan! I kept mine up last year and decked it out as a Valentine tree. It was sweet, too...enjoy yours for a few more weeks!

Your tree looks darling! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Bentley - silly boy! Your tree is so precious. Love the little pincushion and tea cups!
ReplyDeleteLove your little tree! So cheerful. Poor Bentley. He's experiencing some confusion.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
That little tree can be used for any occasion nicely. It looks great the ways you have used it so far.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute fun idea and very fitting for a studio..
ReplyDeleteThat is just the darn most adorably and perfect thing I have seen in a long time ! Its because I love to sew !
ReplyDeleteHello! What a beautiful tree , I really like it!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, What an awesome idea. I Valentines "love" it. Everything you put on your tree looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteBentley's bird story reminded me of my dad's Yorkie several years ago. We were taking a walk with Frederick and my dad remarked, "This was the best he has ever been on a walk." As we arrived back home we noticed Frederick had a dead bird in his mouth. He was so proud of himself. It had been run over by a car and so nasty. Frederick had a huge dog fit when it was taken away. Ha! Thanks for the memory. Poor Bentley and the poor little bird.

How incredibly cute!!! This is the way to stretch that decor out and enjoy it for all the prettiness it is! TOO cute to include the measuring thing. (I don't sew, so I have no idea what it's actually called. How sad for me!)
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you're enjoying all the fun of Valentine's Day!!! I need to get in the spirit!!!
