Setting the Table for LOVE

February is here!  The month of LOVE!  When was the last time you made Valentine's Day special for those you love?  Maybe this is the year to do something fun and surprising to show how much you care.

How about a cute table setting for a yummy breakfast?  Heart-shaped pancakes complete with Sweethearts for "desserts."  Send the family off to school or work with their love tanks full!  Perhaps you could set this romantic table for your sweetheart after work too.  Be creative!

Our beautiful Juliska Valentine's Day collection is a perfect addition to any table decor.  Breakfast, lunch, or dinner!  The sweet heart-shaped accent plates make a beautiful touch to any dessert, salad, or side dish.  Add these red hearts to any dinnerware collection, and pull them out year after year.  You could even decorate with them around your home.

If you are looking for a sweet Valentine's gift idea for that special friend or relative, take a look at these sweet pieces of angel art.  These small pieces of artwork look perfect sitting in a bookshelf, on a coffee table, or on a side table.  Maybe even a sweet addition to your office desk.

Flowers smell good for a moment and fade quickly.  Artwork is timeless!

How will you make this year's Valentine's Day special?

Ginny Futvoye

The Square Cupboard introduces a NEW artist to The Square Gallery art collection...

Ginny Futvoye

A talented painter since her childhood, Ginny Futvoye paints from a diverse range of interests...from flowers in a friend's garden to landscapes she has visited, or her mother's sunroom.  She enjoys using oil paint because of the flexibility, color, and texture.  She may be a Kentucky native, but her husband brought her "home" to Mississippi.  We are thrilled to have such exquisite Mississippi art!  Browse our collection of Ginny's artwork, and find one that works for that special space in your home.

" I paint because it's what gives me excitement...to create out of nothing. I paint to try something new, to see something in a new way. I paint to take a subject matter and make it my own. I paint to find new colors and new color interactions. I paint to express my freedom. I paint to take my mind off the everyday routine. I paint because I am inspired by what the ultimate Creator has already created: the organic lines of a tree, the contrast of the red bird against the winter landscape, the negative shapes formed in a still life, or the warm light creating shadows in a friend's sunroom.

Most importantly, none of these things could inspire me to paint if first I didn't feel the happiness and love I receive from my husband, my children, and my faith. Without these my paintings would be lifeless." 

-Ginny Futvoye

Prayers on the Side

Prayers On the Side is a religious and spiritual art, inspired by European religious icons and architecture.  Each piece is handcrafted in Mobile, Alabama.  Each piece contains the unique copyrighted and trademarked style of writing biblical texts in English and other languages around the sides of their work.  That's how they got the name...Prayers on the Side!

"These beautiful texts encompass the paintings, one never needs a frame… God is the frame."

"The mission of PrayersOnTheSide® is to create meaningful, spiritual art that incorporates prayer within each piece so that it provides inspiration, joy, peace, comfort, faith, hope, love to every beholder."

The Square Cupboard offers a great variety of sizes and styles.  These pieces of art are little gifts of love.

If you are looking for the perfect gift for someone you have lifted in prayer, this is it!  Whether it be a widow, a struggling wife or mother, a sick friend, a lonely family member, or just someone needing encouragement.  Let them know you have been praying with this gift of love!

Stop by to browse our colorful and meaningful selection of Prayers on the Side!  Let this be your perfect Christmas gift this year.
