Valentine Centerpiece



Is anyone old enough to  remember a time when you could get milk in glass bottles delivered to your home by the milkman.....well,  I can....lol!   When the kids were little,   I would get a gallon of milk delivered to our porch about every other day.


I am always trying to think of a different or unusual container to hold a centerpiece and today I thought of the vintage metal milk bottle carrier that I bought at the auction a while back.


My carrier has room for 2 gallon bottles and 4 quart bottles.........


The gallon space in the center was a perfect fit for one of my vintage Valentine candy boxes......


This pretty pink heart box is covered with heart polka dots.....


I filled the gallon and two quart glass bottles in the back spaces of the carrier with dozens of roses......


I used a blackboard card to write a message for the flowers.....


I found these blackboard cards on a stick with liquid chalk pen  and stick on labels at Joan's the other day in the 60% off area.


I stuck some of the blackboard labels on my glass milk bottles and filled them with crochet pieces.


I sat a Happy VDay in front of my milk bottle carrier   


I put sweet heart shaped pillows in the chairs....my mother made these 3 pillows several years ago.


I have a teapot,  creamer and sugar on the tiered table that's next to one of the chairs.

I have a tea towel on the top tier of the table that's embroidered with a cute flower lady....



I can't wait to show you the tablescape that I created to go with my Valentine centerpiece.

  Be back soon!

  8. Your home looks made for a Valentine's display. Everything is so pretty, feminine, lacy and pink. I love the old bottle rack, but its the little heart boxes that gave me memories. When I was little I always begged for a pretty box of chocolates, my Mom who was much more practical calmly explained their was more value in the plain box chocolates. NOT lol...
