Fun2, don't give up on Pinterest. Its really easy to navigate once you get the hang of it and then you can avoid a lot of repetition. And don't forget there is a search box you can find things you want to look at. I'm so photo obsessed, that place is like a candy store to me. LOL. Punk, please don't be sad. I don't want to make you feel like that. Valentine's was never a holiday I particularly liked, as Candy noted about our respective DH's and them not having a romantic bone in their bodies!! ;o) I got into decorating for it only because of the gang here. But its just not that enjoyable for me. I don't have a lot of Valentine stuff luckily, so its no big deal to find it a good home. (tho I don't dare take it to Goodwill, I'd be dumb enough to buy some of it back. LOL) As for my bunnies...I think I mentioned one time that I probably have around 200 in my collection. Trust me, I won't miss a lot of them!! I want to pare down to those that I really love or are special to me. None of my kids are collectors, or holiday decorators (except Christmas) cause they are too busy in their lives right now. So I can't dump my stuff on them. Darn it. Party, thank you. Sounds like you understand. With me having so many collections and so much stuff, lately I am just feeling like its taking over my house and life. I would like to pare some things down a bit, tho I am the type of person who will always have 'too much' stuff. LOL. I'm glad y'all enjoyed that Pinterest board of mine. Jane, how are things going there? Besides frustrating! I will add photos quite often if you want to check my board occasionally. And yes, Punk, some of the pix are from our Forum's inspiration albums. Thought I should share the talent and creativity with Pinterest followers. Tho I need to look up names and give credit. I know one of the Val. pictures is Luv's. ;o) I see that the wonderful tablescape with the big bunnies down the middle was a hit with you guys too. I thought that was so neat, and the yarn was quite an interesting base for them. I tend to 'pin' cloche decor often as I do love that especially. (Punk, you need a mantel and a cloche!!) And no Candy, I don't want to disappoint Teegan. LOL. Heaven forbid. She's wearing a red blouse, does that count for Valentine's? ;o) (Fun2, you may have noticed a couple of us "ol gals" play with dolls. And we have Jeanne and her DollBaby to blame for it!! She started it....) hugs, Karen

Lots of nice dishes, tablecloths, and pretty centerpieces--but I think our gals here do some outstanding tablescapes that are just as lovely, don't you? It was fun to check them out, thanks for sharing. Luvs

What a gorgeous exterior and interesting interior, which is also lovely in many respects. I particularly like the liberal use of duck-egg blue! Those dormer windows are real knock-outs, and while there are some trendy elements that I don't much care for, I wouldn't sneeze at the place if it were offered to me. :-)

I love the frozen roses. Maybe because we never see them here. Maybe because deep down I'm a diabolical, dark person. LOL. The caption is sinister... 'First freeze of fall: Blooms encased in ice. 'perfect and colorful, and doomed.'
