valentines brunch

V A L E N T I N E S

valentines is quite honestly one of my favorite holidays.
...a day to let the people in our lives know that we love them.
i appreciate the fact we celebrate an entire day around love.

you may be sick of seeing this shelf, but it's all i've got.

the day i have a mantle will be a glorious day! :)

we've been cracking down on our budget to save for a few big things this year, and so i used what i had, made a quick banner, and painted away for all my signs. super easy and inexpensive!

^those sour candy hearts!!! really, they are worth all the hype.

my annual valentines day girls brunch with these babes

hope your week is full of love
