Growing up, I remember my mom having a tree for every holiday from Christmas thru Easter. They were similar to this one. A small branch that she painted white (one year with shoe polish which must have taken forever!) and planted in a flower pot full of gravel, then swadled in lace or fabric. If I remember right, putting up a Valentine tree might have been an activity we did on a snow day. Mom made little ornaments from lace doilies and paper valentines. This white branch was my Christmas tree this year. I wasn't quite ready to take it down because it's been a bright spot in all the slush of winter so I converted it to a Valentine tree.
Hobby Lobby has little heart ornaments that I tied scraps of red fabric to. The red birds were Christmas ornaments from Dollar General. And because one can never have enough scraps, I tied pink ric-rac to the branches. It's a sweet little tree. I hope you like it . Speaking of sweet, I watched Herb and Dorothy last night. If you love art and a good love story—watch it!
