Valentine's Day Feather Tree!

Hi everyone! I thought I'd share my little feather tree decorated for Valentine's Day.
Fun seasonal ornaments and simple handmade beaded snowflakes, no two alike.
Amazing red mouth-blown glass ornaments, set of 6 for $1.99 at Marshalls!
I ♥ Marshalls! 
(yep, TJ Maxx and HomeGoods too:@)
The footed bowl was a $2 yard sale find, very heavy.
The doily is a mini tree skirt that I made and use with a small tree on my nightstand during Christmas.
I strung each bead around the edge by hand, one by one.
I usually put batting around the bottom to resemble snow.
This year I tried tissue paper that has glitter on it, it's ok but I like the batting better.
Have a happy day:@)

    What a sweet Valentine tree, I think you have started something. Now I will have to have one too, along with all of the other bloggers.

    You have inspired me.

    hugs

    Very cute, and I think I have the same bowl in my cupboard. I am going to use your idea because I seem to be missing the "original" gene and can only go "AHA! What a great idea!" ♥♫

    Very creative and ahead of the game with Valentines! Your footed bowl looks just like one that I inherited from my MIL. I use as a Centerpiece quite often, and it is heavy!

    Your feather tree is so darling! I have a white one that I'm going to decorate for Valentine's Day. Now I can't wait to get started, you've got me all excited. (I only took down my green xmas feather tree yesterday - we're a little behind over here.) I love how you have yours in a crystal bowl, so pretty!

    Happy Rednesday,

    Hi Darling Lady, It's Granny come lately. I need to change my name. I eventually get around. Love you and the sweet tree. You are so on top of things. I am so impressed with the tree skirt. Wow, that must have tedious work. It looks fab.
    I am so slow, I am finally getting my tree down today. It is the last Christmas Decor to come down. Then maybe I can post some pics of the house.
    Love what you do and the fact that you are so with it. Hugs, Ginger
