Valentine Counter Top

The kitchen island gets changed often.  I had a winter white

arrangement on the counter but now it is time for Valentines.

These fun red wood blocks spell out love, but when I went

to get them out of the storage box this year, the O

was missing.  Where could an O disappear to, I ask.

I improvised with this darling diamond ring votive

candle holder that my friend Ann gave me. 

I think it is better than it would have been.

(The O is still missing in action!)

Several people have commented on the diamond

ring.  It certainly fits the Valentine's mood.

If you saw my tablescape from last week, you know that

I enjoy Valentine's candy boxes and save them for

decor.  This year I found this great Dove chocolate box.

The shape is just exotic and it is a metal tin.

You can find this at Target or Wal Mart, or probably

any grocery store.

Of course, I will enjoy the Dove chocolates

melting slowly in my mouth.  They have the

most incredible mouthfeel.

This fun metal cloche is new this year and I have

already used it in several table tops.

This adorable heart shaped dish was a gift last

year and is usually filled with candy.

A beaded votive candle holder glows at night.

This is the winter white arrangement I had in the center of

my winter counter top decor.  I just added a few bright

red touches to make it over for this counter top.

I made this myself by filling the container with foam insulation,

then letting the insulation dry and adding silk florals,

greenery, balls and spanish moss.  This is so easy

and fun to do.

Fill your house with a little Valentine's Day color.

Come and visit both of the following parties and see a

lot more Tabletops and transformations from Boring

to Better.  Parties are a great way to get to meet other

very talented and fun bloggers.

I will be sharing this at these parties,
