Simply Neutrals Tuesday No. 33 - St Valentine's Day Love

Dear friends - Valentine's Day has come around for yet

another year and I could not think of anything

more appropriate to share with you

for Simply Neutrals Tuesday

this week than my love of hearts

 so here are just a few

 I have created over just the last 3 years or so:

 Naturally you all know how much I create with

antique, vintage and even new laces

 

so here are just a few of the many I have created:

 

 

Some of these have been created as gifts,

 

 

 giveaways and also

 

for sale in my Etsy shop

 

 

 

 

 

Heart Cards!

 All of these heart shapes cannot help but evoke

a feeling of peace and love within us

and that is why I create so many of these beautiful

creations!!!

These beads and findings were part of my"Heart Strings"

of about 4 years ago now!

 

 A perfect heart to display those
special vintage rhinestone pieces!

 

A heart to hold the memories of a special loved person

in your life so simply created!

 ♥

So wherever and however you celebrate

Valentine's Day - may it be of

the most joyous love

to those special people in your lives!

Simply Neutrals Tuesday No. 27 Love and Lace Hearts

Hello again dear bloggers!

I know I shared a couple of  Birthday hearts I created

about two months ago here

  with you for

Simply Neutrals Tuesday with Wen 

but because I have had more requests to create these for sale

today I am sharing these with you too!

 

These are pocket hearts created from the softest recycled

vintage lace blouses 

 

 along with some beautiful antique lace, ribbon

doilies as well as new net laces also.

 

 The pockets hold a lovely image behind which contain

 

 a brown card tag ready for writing a message,

 

a wish or a greeting to someone you hold special 

in your life. 

 

 

 

I call them "Love and Lace hearts of Yesteryear"!

 

 

They have an air of romanticism, sweetness 

 

 and old love!

 

They were placed in my Etsy Shop

but the only one left for sale now is the heart on

the right side of this picture below!

( Sorry but this has now sold!!!)
 

Now if you go to Wendy's blog by clicking on the above link

 

 You will see many beautiful images of all things neutral inc.

creations, art, collages, architecture etc.

Enjoy this little bit of yesteryear love from me!!

and

Thank you so much for always coming to visit and

for your kind comments!

More Hearts, Hydrangeas, Home Decor and Giveaway Reminder

I was the very lucky winner of this gorgeous fabric from

Jillayne

(A Fine Seam)
(thank you just so much Jillayne - what a lovely thought!)

recently and loved it so much that I had to purchase more!

It inspired me to create more Hearts like these below:

adding burlap, vintage laces, an embroidered hankerchief

dyed scrim, tulle, netting

and this beautiful metal embellishment

from Liz included in an order I purchased from her 

Etsy Shop - visit Liz here to see her very 

 French inspired Blog and then over to

her shop.

Some more beautifully green tinged hydrangeas

(originally in blue tones)

were ready for drying

as well as these ones which were originally

in pink tones

And yes - another Heart but this one is flat

and backed in chocolate coloured felt

with more burlap, vintage laces

a suffolk puff and chiffon rose

dyed seam binding, guipure lace

and scrim

And just a pic of a couple of recent trays

I purchased
which I find are so useful for a number of projects
(as well as serving cups of tea on, of course!
or the odd glass of wine!)

as well as two small metal plates.

Somehow these items of metal, wood and silver plating

with etched glass on the clock seem to co-exist

very happily together!!!!

There is just one thing else to mention

and, that is,

MY   GIVEAWAY

of a Fabric Collage

so if you would like to enter before 29th Feb.

please go to the previous post

and

leave a comment there with your email address

so that I have a way to contact you!

In the meantime,

remember that:

"happiness is a way of travel each day

and not a destination"!
