HEARTS and love

What says love more on Valentine's Day than a 

H E A R T???

{okay, a heart shaped box of chocolates is even better}

And, .... um ...  oh yes... Diamonds? ... and .... Rubies?

I cut out a herd of hearts

from felted wool

{that sounds prettier than shrunken wool thrift store sweaters}

and attached vintage jewels to some

Soft Wool and Vintage Sparkle

a perfect marriage of texture and design

Here's one attached to a small package

... and inside ...

a necklace I made for a friend,

to say:

Happy Valentine's Day with Love!

and below,

this will make my felted heart necklace look a bit,

shall we say, boring.

{recipient of above necklace, do not read any further}

tee-heeeeeeee!!!!!!

My Valentines Gift

from my husband

~ A Betsey Johnson necklace!

I know! doesn't he have exquisite taste?

Me on cell phone from T.J.'s:

"Hi dear one!

I just found the most wonderful Valentine's gift

for myself!  I love it!

You won't have to go shopping!

I'd rather have this than flowers, it will last longer!"

His reply, with some relief in his voice:

"What is it?"

Me: "The most beautiful necklace!

and it has hearts with VIOLETS on it!"

Him:  "Okay, get it."

Me:  {with inner happy dance} "YAY!!!!!!"

the end.

Isn't that the most wonderful

Valentines Day Gift story you've ever heard?!?

Okay, probably not, but it works for me.
