Be my Valentine - What's Inside the February Favorite Things Box

I love all the holidays and Valentine’s Day is one of my favorites. Give me all the adorable hearts!!!

As I was curating this month’s Favorite Things Box, I wanted to share some items to help you get your home into the festive heart holiday spirit. When I launched the Favorite Things Boxes, I wanted a way for you to bring the This New Old House blog experience into your own homes and I know you all love my Valentine’s day decorations!

This box features three local makers and items for your home, a little pamper, and fun DIY to help you share some Valentine love with your favorite people!

Here’s what’s inside the February Favorite Things Box:

P.S. If you love the This New Old House Favorite Things Box...you are going to love my new online store for shopping my favorite things all the time! Perfect for gifting or for you...I can’t wait for you to explore it here!

#1 – Vintage Valentine Banner - I love a good seasonal banner as an easy way to change up your decor! I was so excited to work with Cheryl + Jane from White Cottage Market in Winterset, IA on these handmade bingo card buntings for you! All of the materials they used to create the banner are vintage and upcycled, so each one is a just a little bit unique...I love them! I can’t wait to see where you put yours to celebrate the Valentine season!!!
