White Hearts and A Winner

Hi! Happy Sunday.

The winner of my giveaway is Sue! Yay!

This past week I made lots of white hearts for my etsy shop.

This is the rescued antique linen embroidery I used for this group:

Some of the heart sachets are lavender filled and some are plain.

                                                           sold ~ thank you!

I like to offer some hearts without lavender for people who want to add their own perfume, or those who do not care for any scent at all.

                                                               sold ~ thank you!

These larger hearts are sometimes chosen by brides for ring pillows! So pretty. They also make such a special gift.

                                                              sold ~ thank you!

This is very much a one of a kind heart. Ballerina-shoes-pink satin, now faded to almost an ecru or cream.

 

The vintage child's collar, treasured though tattered, came from my blog friend Ann. I carefully laundered the piece and made this heart with every usable bit. I love the tiny glass buttons and handmade French ribbon rosebuds. Definitely a heart for your lingerie drawer or scarf box! Unscented, waiting for your own perfume...

 

A stray blue heart...

 

 

A heart key on a wishes and dreams bottle...

 

 

I'd love to have you visit my shop and see all....

 

 

 

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Starfish, Sand Dollar

Hello! As we await yet another snow storm, I have been leafing through blogland...seems everyone is snow bound, lots of white snowy pix everywhere.

 

 

 

Below an arctic day where sunset began at 2 PM, hence the shell pink sky....

 

Getting onto the beach is a Gulliver-esque experience. I feel like a tiny creature, tippy toeing over an enormous lemon meringue pie. Will I sink in and---disappear?

 

Snow usually blows right away, off the sand beach. But the recent combo of snow-sleet-freeze-snow has left a white fluffy crust everywhere. Treacherous. This is the ramp where the walkway through the dunes usually begins, now drifted under.

 

The sad lifeguard stands...

 

 

 

 

My poor Map My Walk app showed a pitiful .4 miles walked last week.  Not counting of course seemingly endless trips to the huge supermarket. That's a workout in itself sometimes....

 Only the tidal margin is snow-free. No ice yet despite the frigid cold.

 

 

As always, the ocean's edge is worth the effort and the scary  hike. The air is pure and fresh and wonderful.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

A rare winterfind, a perfect sand dollar! You can see how its round shape attracts your eyes, as it lies among the small shells and pebbles.

 

 

 

 

 

A whelk...and a stray starfish, from my snow pants pocket.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A few colorful treasures for my window sill...

 Have a cozy night! Let's hope the power doesn't fail us....

love

lizzy
