Loves First Kiss
In between the major to-do list of planning my upcomming event I decided to spend Sunday afternoon creating a very special Valentines gift for a lovely friend who has been so kind and good to me.
It's a simple candy box that I dumped all the candy out of (well…I did eat a few pieces. hee! hee!) Than I adorned the box with the perfect vintage music sheet, lace,gold doile trim, and the YUMMIEST pink mauve velvet trim that came all the way from M&J Trimming in NYC.
The cherub was a Christmas ornament that I purchased at Hobby Lobby. He was bronzy gold and he soon got a quick makeover into a pale pink Master of Love.
I gave him a bit of a regal look.
Im really pleased with how beautiful it turned out. I hope my secret admirer friend will enjoy it at Valentines Day for many years to come.
Over the Christmas break I took advantage of the down time and made a few large Valentines Day gift tags. These tags are currently available in my Etsy shoppe.
Of course not only did I make the more elegant Valentines but I also made the whimsy and cute as well. ๐
Be Mine Pink Elephant Valentines ornaments.
Recognize the Elephant??? Yep! He's from my Happy Wall!
Fluffy white flocked ears and cute button eyes!
These adorable pink V-day Elephants are available as well.
Thanks for stopping by sweet friends! I ALWAYS appreciate your comments!Enjoy the rest of your week!
XOXO,

Pretty, pretty, pretty stuff. Who wouldn’t love getting a Valentine like those?
I L_O_V_E_ that candy box! It is just so lucious! You did a fantastic job on it. Love the other creations as well. Thanks for sharing! Have a lovely day!
Jenn….what a beautiful Valentine box you made!! I love it, it is AMAZING!! I am working on one for a swap that I am in, but I must say, this is making mine look quite inferior. I guess I better get back to it with more glitter and flowers. hehe I just bought one of the sweet elephants, and am so happy that I got one before they were gone. I hope that you have a super fantastic day.
