Pom Poms and Roses. . .

 

Hello my friends,

 

I'm not sure what it is, but big fluffy pom poms and pretty roses make me ever so happy!

 

I had a couple of skeins of pink yarn that I had saved from one of the estate sales.  I added an aqua color from Hobby Lobby and then picked up a white from our local thrift.

 

 

 

Last year I made a red and cream pom pom garland for my living room mantle.  Give a Cheer for Pom Poms  I loved it so much, I decided to make another one this year.

 

I gathered together some items that had rose motifs on them.  All were thrift store finds.

 

Isn't this a sweet tea pot?  I elevated it on an antique wooden wheel I picked up in Napa, CA while vacationing last June.

 

 

Craft group #1 met last Wednesday night and sweet Karen gifted us with this darling vase filled with mini roses.

 

I had to zoom in to show you that darling face and the stripe on the roses.  Gorgeous!!

 

This small pitcher is my latest rose themed find.  I just fell head over heels in love with the colors!  Can you believe I just about put it back?  :) I tucked some dried Pinky Winky Hydrangeas inside.  They were gifted to me by my cute friend, Amanda.   I made quite a few Valentines spoolies a few years back.  This one has a mini dried rose added to the base.  I also love this small cake stand with the doily design underneath.  I bought it at T. J. Maxx a couple years ago.

 

Another craft group friend, Kaylyn gifted this candle to me for Christmas.  I'm sure the sugar bowl was a thrift find as well.  The scent is heavenly!

The rose calling card is from Aunt Bunnies estate.  I love the red fringe around the edges!  We just did a Valentines exchange in craft group #2.  Joanne made this hand stitched heart.  I absolutely adore it!  I tucked them both under the ribbon on the velvet heart chocolate box.

 

I added the music chain I made years ago to the top of the mantle.

 

I tucked in little Valentines sentiments here and there.

 

 

I love this toile tin pitcher!  Another thrift find.  I placed some dried roses inside.  A golden crown and glitter key hang behind.

 

This petite miss was picked up at a thrift shop as well.  I couldn't resist her face!  she opens up to hold mini treasures or jewelry.

 

I have been wanting a tobacco basket.  My friend, Kathy showed me a white one that she had bought at Hobby Lobby.  Of course, I had to go get me one!  (wink)  I was with a friend and I kept calling it a tobasco basket.  I laughed when she asked, "tobasco?  I thought it was tobacco."  I think in my senior mind I called it that because they are so 'hot' right now.  lol!

 

Anyway, I love it!!

Won't be long till I am picking roses from my own garden.  Till then, I'll enjoy my pom poms and roses!

 

 

Happy Valentines!
