Valentine (walnut) Tree
January 28, 2014
I did something a little different with my Valentine tree this year.
I made strawberries out of walnuts. I just painted them, cut little leaves out of felt, which I glued on and ran a peice of thread through the leaf to hang them.
A remake of my black and white Christmas kitchen tree. I left on the vintage pieces of hand crochet lace for garland.
Simple and even though they are not hearts, it still feels Valentine to me xox
This is such a cute idea--and now I know I need a Valentine tree!

That tree is just too cute, Clarice. How inspiring. Now I wish I would have kept all those walnuts that were gathered this Fall. I was going to try to use them as hair dye, lol...but what a mess walnuts are to clean in their natural state. I gave buckets and buckets of them away!!!
Your tree is darling, I may just have to buy some walnuts and give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing, Clarice...

These are simply adorable! On vacation recently, I purchased a nativity scene in a hollowed out walnut shell! Love it!
