| Luvs had asked about a close-up of my stacked plates on the kitchen counter, so here they
are.... 
And a few more Valentine bunnies. The crackled bunny and bird on a small corner shelf by bedroom got some roses. The hearth hare and candleholders just got the little wire stuff from DT for decoration. I should have put more effort into that, I know. 
And a few years ago I bought a white ceramic heart at Michaels, decoupaged a purple rose on it, and added an old skeleton key. So here the 'Key to My Heart', on the tea-cart. (photo is blurry, I must've moved)
hugs, Karen |

| Karen, so glad Luvs ask for a close up of the stacked plates. So much prettier up close! Your shelf turned out so neat. Love the candle holders and bunny on the hearth. The wire garland gives the extra touch needed for this. What a neat jar of memories you have. This must thrill the kids you cared enough to save the petals and a picture from the 40 Anniversary bouquet. The 'Key to My Heart' is awesome. Love the old keys. I think your mercury glass turned out pretty. The candle holder is shaped like my mercury glass ones. I am so glad you decorated this year! Punk |

| I just realized how dark the photo of the 'mercury glass' was, so I went back and lightened it up some.

| Those pics of the faux mercury glass sure look good, PM! Way to go, girl! Your memory jar of purple rose pedals is precious...I love that & the memory behind it! And you added some more Val-bunnies! So darn cute...you have the best collection I've ever seen! Love 'em! The candles/sticks look nice on the hearth. Everything's comin' up 'roses' at your house! |

| Okay, now you've done it. You have some amazing Valentine decor and now I have to get going as I got caught up in assembling a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle and have been neglecting my decorating, LOL I used to love jigsaw puzzles and found a Kincaid one that I had received for Christmas a couple of years ago and never got around to assembling, so once I start, I can't stop!! Puzzle done, so after seeing everybodies pretties on here, I need to get going! I am so glad you had a change of "heart" about the focus of your Valentine decorating, cause you sure have some wonderful pieces and have created some beautiful vignettes. TFS,

| Thanks for sharing these pictures, Karen, the stacked plate is so pretty. I love that you saved the roses from your 40th Anniversary, what a nice way to display them. I think your faux mercury glass looks great. I'm so glad you felt up to doing some decorating. Nana |

| Karen..glad I got to see this post. Your stacked plats are arranged so pretty. Love your memory jar and the sweet story about the roses and the picture of them. YOu did a great job preserving them - their color is still so vivid. Great job on the mercury glass. I like the pieces you chose. I've played with a few pieces too...I added some gold to the silver for a little added interest. jane |
