Last fall I made a festive little centerpiece with leaves and a pumpkin and a turkey! It brought me joy from September through November. I made a Christmas/winter arrangement for December and January and decided to continue the tradition for February with a Valentine's themed centerpiece. The goal is to use things I have and spend as little money as possible. I already had the quilted piece so I only needed to add the flair. I went to Dollar tree and picked up a vase, candle, and wall hanging metal heart and called it a day. Most days most of life and most of our house if in chaos, but our kitchen table is clean and joyful and that fills my heart with warmth. I know it seems so silly, but I can't tell you the number of times I have walked in the kitchen and smiled at the sight of this centerpiece. Little things can make a big difference in our moods and self care, especially on dark winter days.
Yes, I now have a new one for St. Patricks Day and am thinking ahead to Easter too. I am glad to have Dollar Tree for added touches!
