A Sweet Find And A Sweet Idea

While Miss Bonnie were out thrifting this weekend I found this darling vintage Valentine tin! I think it is adorable:o) I am going to place it on our fireplace for a little Valentine vignette.

Here is a cute Valentine craft idea that would be fun to do at home with your children. Take an empty valentine candy box and paint it white. You can then either paint or "stamp" pretty Valentine hearts on the front. Tie it all up with a pretty Valentine ribbon and you have a pretty heart to display. As you can see I have mine turned on it's side so it will "stand" up! The best
part of this craft? Why, you get to eat the yummy candy up!!

Dear Susan!!!
We have visited before but I had lost track of you!! I'm so glad you dropped back by...(when I left a comment the other day if I saw the picture of you I would have known!!) but when I saw it today I was so happy!!
Loved your Valentine boxes...we used to decorate shoe boxes as kids and take them to school and hope we got a pile of Valentines dropped in the slot up top!!
:-D

What a pretty tin and the heart shaped box turned out very pretty too Susan. Isn't Valentine's Day a lovely holiday to decorate for? I really enjoy it.
