Not gonna lie– I was pretty lazy with my Valentine’s Day decorations this year. I blame Christmas. Christmas exhausts the decorating portion of my brain.
Seriously, I think I spent a total of 10 minutes on this vignette. You won’t offend me if you say that it looks like I spent 10 minutes on it. Well, maybe you will, so just keep that to yourself.
I also think this is a good time to tell you that I have an obsession. An obsession with hobnail glass, especially milk glass. Yep. I love it. If hobnail glass was a person we’d be best friends. I love it so much I met a man in the parking lot of a McDonald’s to buy a turquoise hobnail cream and sugar set off of him. Did our transaction resemble a drug deal? Hmm, probably. Did I care? Heck no! It’s Fenton, it’s rare, and now it’s mine. All mine.
I thought that Valentine’s Day would be the perfect opportunity to showcase my hobnail milk glass obsession collection. So I rounded up all most of my milk glass and got to work. I grabbed the manzanita branch from my Christmas centerpiece and slapped it in a milk glass vase. Then I added the pink heart ornaments– a Hobby Lobby Valentine’s Day clearance find from last year. I plopped some leftover artificial pink peonies from our wedding in the vases, and I threw some conversation hearts in the bowls. I went the extra mile and added some tea lights for dramatic effect.
How did you decorate for Valentine’s Day this year?
Do you collect anything?

It def does not look like it took 10 minutes. And I haven’t done a thing yet decoration wise for Valentines Day so kudos to you. It looks awesome

I think this looks really pretty and quite sweet. Perfect for V-Day. You have such great light in your home, too. Tons of natural light, which just makes everything prettier. 😉
Loving the glass. I see it in antique stores a lot, but like most things, I don’t know what I’d do with it. Love this arrangement.
