OK– So I realize that this “Romantic Display” looks more like something for a Wedding, and not Valentines. However, since I don’t decorate for our Anniversary, I can’t think of a better way then to display things in honor of the {{LOVE OF MY LIFE}} then to do it for VALENTINES. If it still inspires you for a Wedding, then that is GREAT TOO.
I started with a long Canvas table runner from Canvas Corp. and some stamps I picked up for $2.00 dollars each from Michaels Crafts. Then with an ink pad I had at home, I got busy stamping away trying to stick with a pattern. It was a lot of fun, and I {{love}} the ending results.
{{THE KEYS TO MY HEART}}
I found this darling sweet dish at Michael’s. I cut out some vinyl to display our wedding day inside the dish.
The “L” I won from a blog a year ago. Its jute wrapped around a thin wood “L” L- for the Larsen’s or for Love, or BETTER YET “Larsen Loves”!
The frame I glazed with some white acrylic paint and a little water. I wiped the paint on with some paper towels, wiping strokes here and there exposing more wood in certain places by wiping more. The Love block I bought years ago, but would be easy to make yourselves.
when I was a size “4” and hubby was skinny too with a full head of hair. GUESS what? I LOVE HIM WAY MORE NOW THEN I EVER HAVE.
this ROMANTIC CANVAS TABLE RUNNER, was so easy to make and so fun.
CREATING THE ROMANTIC LOVE TABLE was just as fun. I love picking out items to use from my home and playing decorator, and seeing how it all comes together in the end.
Thanks for stopping by.

Table runner looks so good,…
Love the table runner. 🙂
I don’t see the table runner @canvas. I did a search. Can you help?
Looks great! What a beautiful wedding dress. You look so pretty!

hi Jen! Just found your blog today…your table runner is all kinds of awesome! I really love it! I made a table runner yesterday too…used paint though & foam stamps. Signed, your newest follower, Patti 🙂
This looks great. I love how you stamped the runner. I think I’m going to steal this. My last name starts with an “L”, too. Can I steal your letter? I’ll let you know if I copy you.
Gorgeous! Such a great idea Jen. I absolutely have to do this. I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction to purchasing the table runner. I clicked on the Canvas Corp link in your post, but Im not having any luck finding how to purchase the table runner. Thanks so much!

I think your little “love” display turned out very sweet, Jen! I adore the table runner…it’s amazing what a high end look a few stamps, an ink pad, and (most important) a creative hand can achieve!
Well aren’t you clever! I love that idea and I never thought of using canvas as an inexpensive runner. LOVE!
