Valentine's Day

My Valentine Tree

It’s already only ONE MONTH until Valentine’s Day.  And I just took down my Christmas decorations yesterday!  I enjoyed celebrating the 12 days of Christmas and didn’t rush to get them put up.

A couple of times in the last 15 or so years I’ve left a “Christmas” tree up for more than just the Christmas season.

Back when the girls were in elementary school we left a tiny tree on the entry table and decorated it for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, baseball season, and Memorial/Independence Day.  I don’t remember any other holidays so we might have taken it down at the end of the summer.

This year my sister kept her tree up for my niece’s birthday on January 9.  But I think they’ll be putting it up as soon as it warms up enough for them to get into the attic.

I first planned to leave one of my little trees out to photograph Christmas ornaments for Etsy throughout the year.  But until I need it for that purpose I’ll keep it decorated for the current holiday.  Right now it’s a Valentine tree.

Valentine's Day decorations, chocolate covered strawberries ~ Valentine Tree ~ DuctTapeAndDenim.comI bought these chocolate  covered strawberries several years ago at Room With a Past.  I think they were in Mandi’s space.  Don’t worry, they’re plastic.

I’ll have a couple of the Valentine ticket garlands at the next sales at Room With a Past, Paris Flea Market, and Treasure Island.  I’ll also have the blank tickets for sale.

Part of my vintage Valentine's Day postcard collection ~ Valentine Tree ~ DuctTapeAndDenim.comI’ve also been collecting vintage Valentine postcards for years so I’m displaying some of them on the bottom shelf under the tree.

    I love the little scene you’ve created under the tree. The tree is a sweet Valentine treat as well. I have quite a few faux treats. Some plastic dipped strawberries as well. I’m setting up a Valentines Bakery display in the entry. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
    Jann
