    Valentine's Day Chalkboard Vignette

    Published by Pam Kessler | 368 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 16 Comments

    I don't know about you, but I sort of get emotionally attached to some of my vignettes and just don't have the heart to tear them down completely and start new each season.

    So, on the shelf in my living room, I'm still rockin' my Thermos and Christmas greens along with my Valentine's Day decor.

    I figure I can pull it off until 4th of July if I just trade out the greens in the Thermos for some Easter eggs on a stick and then, later on, some flags.

    OK, I may have to rethink the eggs on a stick, but maybe some pussy willow or forsythia might work for spring?

    I thought the lumberjack valentine was sort of brilliant, seeing as how the little guy is rolling around on a log and the candle beside him is made to look like a birch log.

    And he also sort of resembles the guy on the maple syrup tin. Do lumberjacks make maple syrup?

    So really, at my house, it's all about keeping the bones of a vignette and just trading out a few things to freshen it up seasonally.

    Now, some people would have shown you this stuff WEEKS ago so you could get ideas and inspiration for your own Valentine's Day vignette.

    Those people are totally too organized for my liking.

    Just file this away for next year. That's what they invented Pinterest for 🙂

    While we're talking Valentine's Day, I'll throw in two more vignettes that I haven't shown you yet and really won't help you this year.

    This is called my Help, My Feet Are Stuck In A Typewriter vignette.

    And my Truckload Of Very Old Chocolates Being Driven To The Zoo vignette.

    Here's hoping to not have to dive into THOSE chocolates later today 🙂

    BTW, this is what the area looked like for Christmas.

      I still have my Christmas Tree and animated carolers up in the living room. Love the way you just change a few things out to get the look you want for the next season or holiday. Had to chuckle about "the people being too organized for your liking. " I hear you sister. I hear you. Happy Valentine's Day. Enjoy!

      Hey, at least you got out some Valentine's Day stuff! Mine stayed packed away in boxes until next year. I've been using the excuse of the remodel going on in my house but I am secretly wondering if I am still burned out from the madness of Christmas?

      Love the Lumberjack!

      Lumberjacks don't make maple syrup, but I'm sure they eat a lot! Sweet little vignettes.

      It's too cold to think ahead. I couldn't even find y Valentines decorations. Maybe I will find the Easter ones. Like your chalkboard. As always every little thing you looks really cut. Stay warm.

      I think all your vintage reds are perfect until Easter, Pam! I thought of you the other day when I was browsing an antique shop and saw a vintage plaid lunch box with matching thermos. The old chocolate box with cherries is too sweet!
