Okay so I lied. My last post went on about how I don't decorate for Valentine's Day. And I don't, really ~ at least not intentionally, anyway. But while taking photos for a soon-to-be-revealed post on a different topic, I realized that I had actually made something that for all intents and purposes could be considered a Valentine decoration. What do you think? Remember, I'm into subtle when it comes to V-Day.
I've been in love with with vintage papers, especially vintage sheet music, for a while now. I was lucky enough to score some great music books at local barn sales and flea markets recently and was looking for a way to use them. I knew I wanted to alter some candles like I did last Christmas, here, but just a tad differently. I wrapped burlap over the sheet music and added a heart locket tied on with jute.
I honestly wasn't thinking of Valentine's Day when I made this, but it kind of works, don't you think?
ONE KISS
One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own.....
The song is "One Kiss," from the Broadway operetta "The New Moon" written by Sigmund Romburg and Oscar Hammerstein (1928). I scoured the book for some hint of a printing date but there was none! Suffice it to say that it's O-L-D. Oh, and did I mention that it's a Dollar Tree candle? Natch.
Inadvertent holiday decorating. It's worth a shot. You just never know what you're gonna come up with.
Hope you're all having a great week.
