~A Silver Valentine's Day~


****Happy Valentine's Day****


I don't usually decorate that much for the different holidays, except for Christmas of coarse. I've really been inspired with the Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine lately and love their idea of decorating candles. I have tons of candles around my home so thought I'd spread a little love on them. Also since it's Sunday I thought I'd throw some silver in there too. Beth at Gypsy Fish has extented her SS theme to every 2nd Sunday so we can all still get our silver fix once a month. The last photo is the first atempt my daughter, Nichole tried at soldering. She wore it to school and all her friends loved it and they were surprised that she made it. Looks like she's got some present ideas for her friends. Hope you are all surrounded by loved ones today. Enjoy! xoxo K.

  2. You sure know how to put things together to make the most beautiful vignettes. I love the LOVE letters and how they casually just lay there. I also love the embellishments on the candles - I can think of so many different ideas for that...I may try some right now. Thanks!

  7. Such a simple way to embellish plain candles but very effective. Lots of lovely silver here too. And the soldered piece is so very pretty. I would bet anyone would love to receive that as a gift. Blessings and Happy Valentine's Day. :) Tammy

  10. Wonderful displays. I'm feeling the same love with the candles these days. I just ordered my first copy of Jeanne d'arc Living ~ and I'm afraid. I know after I read it, I'm going to throw everything I own out on the front lawn and start from scratch:)

  26. Isn't something as simple as decorating a candle can make a big difference. I would say that your daughter as a future career in jewelry making. She is vary talented. I have yet to try my hand at soldering, I'm afraid it would be disastrous. Thanks for sharing.
