Wood Slice Valentine Cake


I made a centerpiece for my tablescape using wood slice chargers to make a Valentine cake.


I made a wood slice cake for Christmas and filled it with "snow" icing and had a family of deer on the top.     For my Valentine cake,     I  filled  my cake slices with moss icing and small dried carnations.


The sun is flooding the dining room with light today,   so I'm having a hard time getting good photo's.




The cake topper for my Valentine cake is a sweet cow couple.......


Here's the back side of the Valentine wood slice cake......


I have the table set with my mothers wedding china.......


Made in America about 70 years ago!


The  tablerunner is a long white enamel tray.


Let's look around the room........over in the corner unit 


I have a pair of    "Love Bugs"


I thought the love bugs would add a little more Valentine decor to the dining room.


Pink O'clock......my favorite time of the day!


The other corner of the dining room has a dress form.....


Next to the dress form is a vintage sewing machine that has been converted to a lamp......with a chicken wire lamp shade   


I bought a 2018 cow calendar at Joann's the other day for $4    (75% off)     I already had one just like it that I had bought last fall at a little shop in Amarillo Texas   AND  paid retail for!     So,   I decided to take my "cheap" calendar  apart and frame some of the cow prints.     I have this print next to the dress form.......


Then,   I have a couple more prints on the ladder by my chair in the family room.


I use the word  "framed" loosely.......lol!


I have a vintage wood pant holder on the top and one on the bottom of the print.......


I still have 9 more prints left in my calendar to frame!
 

Thank you so much for stopping by...........come back soon!
