Valentine's Day

I thought since it is getting so close to the holiday of love, I would share a couple of my Valentine's Day decorations.

This plate is similar to something I have seen on many of your blogs.  I searched and searched for the Dress Me Up plate from Southern Living at Home.  From what I can tell, it is discontinued.  There are some on e-Bay, but they were going for about $30 plus about $10 shipping.  I'm on a budget, and that was a little too steep for me.  Still, I REALLY wanted one! 

After a little online research, I found that Michael's carries a similar plate made by Plaid Remarkables.  It comes with the plastic stand.  You can only imagine how excited I was.

In the future, I will get some thicker ribbon and maybe a cuter stand.  

Do any of you out there have a similar plate?  Do you mind sharing where you found it? 

By the way, Michael's had a square platter, and a set of two smaller round plates.  I believe each of the three sold for about $13, just in case anyone is  interested.  I always love to hear where the pretty things in people's blogs came from and how much they spent.  If you don't, just ignore me ;) 

This is my Valentine's Day dish towel.  Isn't it cute?  It was $2 at Wal-Mart. I couldn't resist. Plus, I love red things for my kitchen :)

I used to really hate Valentine's Day because I was always single and it just made me even more bummed about it. But now I really enjoy celebrating it!  I hope all of you have as much fun with it as I am!
