Valentines ~ Vignettes ~ and a Valentine Give-Away!

 I embellished a paper mache heart shaped box

with vintage sheet music, paint, glitter, crepe paper flower,

button and jewel, fabric flower leaves, and pom-pom trim.

-

Isn't pom-pom trim just the happiest?!?!

 Purchased this adorable little chair at an antique shop for $10.

love     love     love   !!!

 Close-up of the happy pom-pom trim so you can see the

big pink glass beads glued on for feet.

 The flower-seated chair is the perfect perch

for my Flower Faerie Crown that I made last summer

(Now, for more opportunitues to wear it....where does one wear a faerie crown anyway?)

-.

(Can you tell I am ready for spring???)

-

 This glittered angel is one of my favorite things in my studio.

She likes to wear the crown Anita made for me, and hold the

glittered 'Queen' star wand

A sheer creamy flower with jewel center clipped onto the lamp shade

of the crystally lamp from TJ's.

Sitting upon a crystal and brass base to make it taller.

Above is one of the crowns from my collection.

The photograph below is of a 'theatre' I created for Anita of

Castles, Crowns and Cottages

My dear friend is including it in her post this week.

She can intricately weave LOVE into her words and images,

words that bless and inspire.

What a delight it is to surprise a friend with a gift,

to share the love that has been poured into our hearts!

As Valentines Day approaches,

Shall we think of sweet momentos, a card or a letter

to let someone know we are thinking of them?

~ or a cookie ~

A heart-shaped cookie says it all !!!  :  )

(preferably with thick pink frosting)

A hand-made Valentine would be perfect!
