Valentine's Day - A Spoonful of Love!

I'm a little early for Valentine's Day but I feel like spreading some love!  So here is a fun, casual Valentine's Table I am calling - A Spoonful of Love!

Here is a look at the whole table.

I did this table in my kitchen with the snow in the background, but I forgot how hard it is to photograph with all the bright light behind the table against all the windows.

I wanted a casual look because I have more boys in my family and they don't really go for all the glitter and flowery stuff. But I just couldn't help putting a glitter heart in that big wood handled spoon!

I started with a white table cloth topped with some Kraft paper wrapping paper.  I took a paint pen and drew some vines and hearts in a kind of swirling pattern.

I wanted a light centerpiece that would not cover up all of the drawing on the paper, so I chose to do some glass bottles as holders for some taper candles.

I added some hearts I cut out of glitter scrapbook paper and suspended the hearts inside the bottles with fishing line.  I had to kind of roll up the hearts to get them in the bottle and 

then use a pencil to kind of flatten the hearts back out once they were down in the bottle.

 It has been so cold all over the place, so I hope you feel some love and warmth from my table!

I hope this Sparks your Valentine Plans!
