Happy Valentine’s Day! Why are you reading blogs and not celebrating your love? Just kidding… I know life has many callings these days, and sadly, celebrating can only be one of them! I am sure you have some plans up your sleeve for later today or tonight!

In the meantime, I wanted to share these sweet & soooo affordable white lace containers from IKEA. Would you believe they are just $2.99 each? Meant as a home for potted plants, I found they work equally well to cast a romantic, flickering glow as a sturdy lumineria. Just add a votive candle in a glass holder and there you are. Made of powder-coated galvanized steel, they have countless DIY wedding decor uses. Bundles of silverware, bottles of wine, piles of cookies tucked inside pretty linens–these could showcase just about anything smaller than a breadbox. Create a plants-&-candles centerpiece with just a few. Now you have something for your weekend to-do list to go along with celebrating: pop into IKEA & stock up!
