Our 2013 Valentine Mantel

Our "Seek Happiness" Valentine mantel (
Here is our "Seek Happiness" Valentine mantel. I found the fun, *vintage-y* canvas on sale at World Market ... truly an unexpected purchase ... and thought that it would be a fun focal point for our holiday mantel.
I wrapped our white candles with decorative Valentine's ribbons (Michael's) to give them a bit of color ... and then added rose petals, along with a couple of cute Cupids.
Rather than create a garland, I simply hung pink and red hearts (that I also embellished with smaller, decorative hearts) at varying heights across the mantel.
Inexpensive, whimsical adhesive tiles were easy to mount to white paper, which I then layered over red paper and framed in a frame I had on hand ... a cheap and easy project!

    I adore everything! "We tend to seek Happiness" is a wonderful reminder to keep ourselves open to the blessings of life. Super sweet and beautiful.
