The Back-to-back Holidays

It is so fun to get three holidays in a row...Valentines, Mardi Gras & St. Patrick's Day. I don't typically go all out with holiday decor for these "Tier 2" (and I mean that in the most enduring way) holidays...but I do make sure to recognize them. 

Valentine's Day - well we had our second annual V-day party. This year was the wine tasting, per last month's blog post. We also had a few cute decorations up...quality not quantify....including the homemade wreath, the V-day menu and the cute $1 mailbox with fake valentines coming out of it! Last year we made Valentine cards for our family via Shutterfly - but this year I kept it (cheap and) simple!




Mardi Gras - While I did not get to attend in person the celebrations I ate basically an entire King Cake myself and displayed some of our favorite beads from Bacchus!

St. Patty's Day - I still have the beads up (just because) and this year, courtesy of the dollar store, made a $4 wreath for the front door! Nothing fancy, and yes, this was made PRIOR to my lenten commitments!!!

  1. I love your wreaths! I made a Valentine's one and now I have a new goal - St. Patty's day! :) What do you use for your backing on the wreath?

  2. I used a wicker frame I got at the dollar store and hot glue
