A Typography-Inspired Valentine's Day Mantel

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member stephaniepoli from the Su Casa group: Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that just makes me smile, so I thought I'd bring a little of that happy feeling into our home this year with a mantel update.

Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that just makes me smile, so I thought I'd bring a little of that happy feeling into our home this year with a mantel update. I just adore typography so what better way to show my love.

Typography, oh how I love thee...let me count the ways...

  1. The "I love you" heart print is from The Love Shop
  2. I received this gorgeous illustrated card as a gift with purchase from Eva Juliet. I usually craft my mister's Valentines so I thought the card would make a cute framed print.
  3. The XO were scores from the Michael's dollar bin.
  4. The February print is part of a leftover letterpress calendar I purchased a couple years back from Orange Beautiful.

Counting Hearts at Flora Grubb

Happy Valentine's Day! While I'm sure I'll consume my fair share of Be Mine heart candies this afternoon, in truth my favorite hearts are a little more organic in form.

Happy Valentine's Day! While I'm sure I'll consume my fair share of Be Mine heart candies this afternoon, in truth my favorite hearts are a little more organic in form. I stopped by one of my favorite garden centers, Flora Grubb, over the weekend to see if there were any heart-shaped lovelies gracing its grounds. Ms. Flora Grubb herself showed me around the design-forward shop, pointing out new and unusual plants that had recently arrived. Then, left to my own devices, I went on a search to find some hearts of my own.

Keep reading to see some of my favorite (and some quite unusual) hearts.
