Valentine Tree Photo



Some of my readers have ask to see a full photo of my Valentine Tree, so here's about the best I can do. The picture doesn't do justice to the tree at all. For some reason I couldn't get a clear image, but I think you'll have a better idea of what the tree looks like, anyway.

Jim and I love it. When I turn it's lights off, Jim wonders why(that's how much he appreciates it), so I switch them back on. It is simply beautiful in real life and a real joy to both of us. Wish you could be here to see it.

I'm already collecting items for the Saint Patrick's Day Tree and the Easter Tree. The expectation and search is so much fun!! I definitely recommend the holiday trees to anyone who wishes to add a bit of celebration to their home year around.

***Don't forget the Valentine's Day Giveaway. Photo and rules are listed below.

It's so very pretty! I never would have thought to do a VDay tree. But it's a great idea.

Barb Davis said...

Janna- It kinda looks like a mess, but in reality it's not. Glad you like it, though.

Pat's Place said...

Thanks for the picture of the whole thing. I love it!

Oh this is so neat. I've heard people do this but have never seen it! Looks beautiful.

Barb Davis said...

Pat- Hope you get to try one soon, too.

Barb Davis said...

Lea and her Mustangs said...

Love your little Valentine tree. Should have done that. Its really sweet.

Barb Davis said...

Lea- I'm glad you like it. It's a real joy each day.

Kathleen said...

Now that's creative!

I loved your comments about the ongoing search for seasonal decorations. Where shopping is concerned, I'm often heard to say: "It's not about the kill; it's about the hunt". That way hubby and others will understand the fun & adventure of stealth shopping.

Looking forward to the green motif of St. Paddy's Day (being that I'm a Flanagan, it's a favorite).

Love your tree! Thanks for sharing! You should go into the business of selling holiday trees because you do such a wonderful job of decorating!

Angie Ledbetter said...

What a great way to add some extra joy, love and light to the environment. Does my Christmas tree which is still up count? :)

How cute, I love the idea of a valentine tree. I havent even gotten my decorations out so I need to get busy. Hope you have a great week. Blessings, Karen

Barb Davis said...

Sassy- It's so much fun scouting all the craft and discount stores for new ideas.

Barb Davis said...

Dawns- So glad you like it.

Barb Davis said...

Patty- Thank you.

Barb Davis said...

Donna- You are very encouraging.

Barb Davis said...

Angie- Hey, I've been known to keep my Christmas tree up for two months! This way I never have to take it down.lol

Barb Davis said...

KKJD1- Glad you enjoyed the photo.

Joanne said...

Love that tree, I had the same thought as Donna. You could market that Valentine Tree idea, people would line up for one!

Barb Davis said...

Joanne- Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Kathryn Magendie said...

Oh! It's lovely! just lovely.

BiPolar Wife said...

Oh, how I wish I could do that! My husband would never go for it but I LOVE the idea!!!! I have managed to put the Christmas Tree up the day after Thanksgiving but New Year's Day is his cut-off date for feeling festive. You have inspired me to at least try it! I do have a little table top tree that sits nicely in the corner on my jewelry armoire....(oh, the creative wheels are going now...AND he's out of town for two days!)

Sunny said...

Barb Davis said...

Michaele- Do as much as you can. You will NOT regret it. I promise.

Barb Davis said...

Judy- Thanks so much!

I also LOVE your tree! It is always so hard to take down the Christmas tree. The conversion was a great idea, and something to keep everyone in the cheery holiday mood! I can't wait to see it in person.

Barb Davis said...

Tileena- I can't wait for you to see the tree! We are lovin' it!!
