You may wonder why I call this party the Centerpiece Wednesday linky party time. I started this years ago when I was doing lots and lots of tablescapes and I wanted you my readers to link up tablescapes to my party. After awhile I decided to open this party up to all kinds of creativity. I love seeing your crafting ideas, recipes, decor and DIY’s.
Kottage Happenings
I am so excited about what is starting to happen to our Italian Palace! There is a film premier happening Thursday Feb 4 at 11AM Eastern time. It is called Palazzo Ricci Reborn and Directed by award-winning filmmaker Walter Nanni. “Reborn” is an artistic journey of one man’s love affair with the land, the traditions, and the history surrounding Palazzo Ricci.
Are you ready for some football? or just ready for some football food? I have some great make ahead easy recipes for your super bowl get together.
Centerpiece Wednesday linky party highlights
First up who I am highlighting is The Crowned Goat with this darling idea of making Valentine poppers for little ones. Such a cute idea! I know my grandkids are going to love these!
I will have to make them some of my patchwork heart sugar cookies to go along with these because isn’t that what a grandma does 🙂
How gorgeous and unique is this valentine wreath that Masterpieces of my life recycled!
I love how she used an old heart shaped grapevine wreath that she has had for 20 years and made it new again by adding different types of moss to it.
The little cluster of roses just adds to the look.
I made this heart shaped wreath out of burlap and painters drop cloth roses.
I will forever love tablescapes and these 5 Valentine ideas from My Hubbard Home are so pretty. Just be doing a few different things you can get 5 looks.
I love her heart shaped rocks and how she incorporated them in her tablescape.
I have done a couple of Valentine tablescapes in the past here on the blog. This is a red, black and white one and this one is a black and white toile with a touch of pink.
Oh I just want to squeeze this fluffy little heart! Kippi at home created these pom poms and attached them to a wire framed wreath. I LOVE IT!
Maybe I can whip up a big one for the mask-querade Valentine’s ball we are doing for our young women and young men at church. I did make this big puzzle piece heart shaped wreath but this fluffy one would be so cute!

Thanks for the feature, and a big congratulations on the Italian Palace.
Living in a 250 year-old revamped building sounds exciting.
I’m hoping you can go see your project soon!

It is one huge project but it is going to be incredible! I am just so grateful for our Italian team working on it and making this dream come true!
Happy February! I think we can all use a little salute to February this year, especially with the weather woes so many are facing this week!
