Bring on the hearts!!

Hi there :) Hope you all had a great week! Are you looking forward to your weekend? This will be our first weekend in about a month without kids (other than Savannah of course). Ir will be very different!

The season of love is upon us! I have just filled my shoppe with lots of pretty hearts :) Dont you just love hearts? I have many decorating my home and they always make me smile. I wanted to share some of my new pieces with you. I don't think I will be doing any love note pockets this year. I would like to do a few more of the puffy heart sets though. Those were so much fun to create!



First up, I just new I wanted to do a tart tin ornament for Valentine's Day! I love the way it turned out :) This tin has a bit of a heart shape to it. I filled it with all of my favorite things, rhinestones, lace and pearls. That just screams romance to me!! I added a vial to the bottom of "love potion". Aged pink glitter and some more vintage pearls :)
I also added the title of a song called Love Lies Dreaming :) It is from my antique love song sheet music book. Perfect for Valentine's Day!
This is a scrolly heart covered in romantic wide lace. I created one of my handmade lace roses too for this and added a vintage aurora borealis button to the center. Boy does it sparkle :) This reminds me of a wedding in summertime :)
This is a vintage style candy box. I covered it in vintage flocked wallpaper and tons of millinery!! This is to die for in person. Such a beautiful display piece.
I covered the inside with tattered and torn pink tissue paper and an adorable cherub image that I heavily glittered and outlined in gimp. There are more pics in my shoppe of the inside.
And this beautiful aqua piece is full of beautiful pastels! Super pretty hanging piece :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and thank you soooo much for stopping by today and letting me share my creations with you!!

Just darling Amy. You are one talented lady. I love your hearts and have been creating with a few styles of molds too. Today I share a paper roses bouquet you sent me about 3 or 4 years ago. I add it to a sweet little dress sent to me by Cindy from Whimsical Musings. It turned out so pretty. Thank you. I have cherished the roses from you.

Have a fun weekend.
Hugs, Celestina Marie

Your hearts are so pretty. I love Valentine's day might be due to the fact I missed having my bday on it by 2 hours.

Our weekend will be quiet as we are digging out from a major winter storm and it is very cold and windy. So I think I will decorate for Valentine's day and maybe make some cupcakes for the kids.

Have a great weekend and stay warm and dry.
