Sweet As Candy Decor

Conversation Hearts just scream Valentine's Day, but they are just not my favorite to eat...so I decorate with them!

I used a hurricane vase that I use year round and change with the seasons. I simply placed a white candle in the middle and poured the hearts around. Voila!  I found this miniature apothecary jar at a thrift store, put some of the extra hearts in there and added it to the top of my piano with some flowers and a gold "L".  It was the perfect addition to the little arrangement.

I used the large hearts, mainly because I thought they would fill the vase better than the small ones. You could really go with either.

Now you can enjoy the iconic candy without having to eat it :)

Hope you had a sweet day!

Gold Dot Entry Way Dish-DIY

I love to put my stamp around the house. If you know me (and later when you see my upcoming wedding) you will see that I love gold! It's bright and makes me smile. So do polka dots, those fun little things.

Here is a quick, fun, and affordable project to add a little gold and polka dots to your life! All you need is some thrift store milk glass and a gold oil-based sharpie.

I found this milk glass dish at a thrift store for a couple bucks. It already had the dots raised, so it was very easy to just color them. However, you can find milk glass with all sorts of patterns, get creative! It is between you and the sharpie.

Simply design your dish and let it dry. You could bake it for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven to "set" the paint. Do this especially if you think your dish will be going through the dishwasher or being handwashed multiple times. Mine is just sitting by my front door, so I have not yet baked it. Maybe future projects :)

Have fun, be creative and enjoy!
