When dear hubby and I spotted an old weathered pallet with rounded corners on a company’s yard, we knew we had to have it. It was obvious that it was not industrially manufactured but individually made. The company let us take it because it was meant to be thrown away and we became owners of the most beautiful pallet ever. I know some of you understand my enthusiasm for some old and imperfect planks of wood :). Hubby took the pallet apart and made this fabulous shelf for me. It would be great for towels or other useful things but for now I use it for my Valentine’s decorations.
A rusty hinge displays my vintage LOVE stencils.
Have you decorated for Valentine’s Day?
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm if you’re in one of those areas with freezing temperatures.
I’ll be linking up with the following great parties:
Be Inspired at Common Ground
Grey Dey Thursdey at Petite Michelle Louise
Knick of Time Tuesday at Knick of Time
Nifty Thrifty Tuesday at Coastal Charm
Hugs,
Julia

I certainly understand your love for old and weathered wood and this looks just brilliant (clever hubby and clever you!)
Love you valentine's display, all your hand made heart decorations look fabulous!
LOVE the contrast of the old weathered pallet wood and the white valentine's related decorations!!!
No, there are no decorations here. Well unless you count the grand love muffin himself. Romeo ;)

Oh Julchen it looks simply wonderful! What a fabulous background for all kinds of things and decorations. I absolutely understand your love for old weathered wood, I'm loving it too! Lucky you that your handy hubby made it into a wall shelf for you. Love all your decorations too of course! That garland is so sweet and the stencil LOVE sign so awesome! Looking forward to your Valentine parcel now woohooooooooooo! :)

Liebstige Julia -
was? Die wollten das wegwerfen? Uff, das ging dann ja gerade noch gut - was für ein Glück, dass ihr zwei das Prachtstück entdeckt und gerettet habt! So eine schöne Pallette hätt ich natürlich auch gern - naja, warten wir's mal ab, vielleicht gibt es auch hier Verrückte, die so etwas nicht mehr haben wollen ;o))
Lass dich auch noch feste und hezrlich umärmeln für deine lieben Kommentare und deine Erklärungen zum "Webschützen". Hab ich nie zuvor gehört oder gesehen, aber bei deiner Love-Collage gefiel's mir jedenfalls gleich! Du hast wirklich einen guten Griff für ausgefallene Objekte :o))
♥♥♥♥
Allerliebste Sonntag-Abend-Rostrosengrüße!!!
Eine schöne neue Woche wünscht dir die Traude

Me encantó!!!
Liebstige Julia, lass dich mal wieder herzlich drücken für deine immer so lieben Kommentare - und deinen Fellnäschen gib natürlich von mir auch wieder ein paar ganz herzliche rostrosige Streicheleinheiten!
Heute waren wir in einem Argentinischen Steakhouse, und da musste ich gleich mal an dich und deinen Tipp denken - vonwegen "Ich tippe, Ihr lernt Spanisch für eine Reise nach Argentinien. Dieses Reiseziel würde gut zu Euch passen :)" Du hast ja so recht. Also ich meine, du hast recht damit, dass dieses Reiseziel gut zu uns passen würde... aber leider nicht damit, dass dies unser nächstes Ziel sein wird. Südamerika steht bei uns lautstark auf der Wunschliste (da gibt's EINIGE Länder, in die wir gern wollen!), zieht vorläufig beim Preisvergleich mit anderen Wunschzielen allerdings noch den kürzeren... Ich lass dich mal noch ein bisserl weiterraten, außer du willst die Lösung gleich präsentiert bekommen...
Allerliebste rostrosige Sonntagabendgrüße und Fellchenkrauler,
Traude
