I’ve created my own off-shoot post to share with you this time…
Enjoy! 🙂
*A complete list of ladies participating in the big 10 on the 10th will be listed for you below as I see the link up. I do hope you’ll follow us on our blogs and on any of our social media ~ we appreciate you!
1. Ethereal Victorian stamps ~ These stamps are just perfect for creating your own Valentine’s day cards, decorating gift boxes or for pretty decoupage projects.
Perfect for inviting friends over for a tea luncheon as invitations and placecards ~ just beautiful! I know I’ll be looking for a set of these soon… sigh! Okay, I cheated on this one as this pack is $23.99 but I had to include it because they are sooo beautiful… 😉
2. Candy Hearts ~ At only a $1.00 per, those classic little sweethearts we send with our children to share on Valentine’s Day, well, they aren’t just for kiddos! I like to munch on them and I am sure you do, too. 😉
3. Valentine’s stickers ~ Always a favorite for us scrappers little Valentine’s stickers are wonderful for dressing up place cards, putting on a letter or outside envelope when mailing loved ones a card. Kids love ’em, too!
4. Little Valentine’s plates ~ So cute! Serving cupcakes and any desserts always look better on pretty plates and here is a cute package of 12 adorable and affordable Valentine’s dessert plates for just $2.00 a pack.
5. Heart Shaped Glasses ~ So fun with their pixel-style frames and available at Target.com. I could see us having a tea party and wearing these! My friend Julie once held a tea where she gave everyone a set of red lips to all her guest! It’s fun to be goofy when hosting a party ~ breaks the ice and everyone is sure to have a good time and these sweet glasses will do the same!
6. Soft yarn for Valentine’s and spring projects ~ When my daughter was just a baby I knit her a couple of sweaters and one was with this very same Sugar and Cream very fine baby yarn in a pale baby blue. This yarn knits up beautifully and would keep your sweet babies warm and toasty. Just $3.99-$4.99 per skein.
7. Fiskar’s Heart Punch ~ OMGosh, this is the cutest punch for quickly cutting out hearts for craft projects! Kids will love this for decorating their binders, pinning on clothes, making teacher gifts. It’s also perfect for popping out paper hearts to make paper chains for decorating at school and home ~ something I totally miss from my years working as an aide in our Special Ed classroom. Fun!

8. Heart Fabrics for tablecloths and napkins ~ Several years ago I sewed a quick tablecloth and napkins for a Valentine’s tea and I just found some fabric for you to make some of your own. Pair this with the red, white and pink check fabric (below) and you have a really sweet way to dress your table this St. Valentine’s Day!

Thursday Favorite Things ~ Follow the Yellow Brick Home
A good list! Great ideas and loads of fun!
Great ideas you have shared!! I chuckled out loud with your last photo – I NEVER gave any thought to melting the chocolate buttons right inside the silicone molds – duh!! How easy is that to do!! I have always melted the choc first and poured it into the molds – silly me! And I LOVE candy hearts!!
These are great ideas, Barb. And what's this about being an alternate? Ten on the 10th shouldn't be about 10 bloggers. It should celebrate – exponentially if called for – 10 x 10 ideas and more, no limits!

Fun list Barbara. I’ve been wanting to get a candy mold even though I am no candy maker! LOL. And only you would say you whipped out a Valentine tablecloth and napkins for a party! It would have taken me days. You are amazing.

I know!! Sweethearts were THE very first things I thought of but couldn't find them at first. Then I kept looking… 😉 I miss those Valentine's days at school with our lovingly decorated tissue boxes full from everyone parading by each box and depositing their Valentines cards into each one. <3Happy hugs to you, Kim,Barb 🙂

Believe it or not, Cindy. I think I made that tablecloth literally the day before that tea and shot the pics and that was it. Friends came the next day and I know several others came over {like when one friend was dropping off her son to jam with my son on their guitars ~ can you hear us hollering up the stairs, \”Close the door!\” } because I'd made the cake and it needed to get eaten. This was a really fun 10 on the 10th!Happy hugs and sorry you weren't home yesterday,Barb :)p.s. Hubby and I are looking at that house tomorrow as Mr. Ethereal hasn't toured it yet… Maybe!
