Happy Valentine's Day

I thought it would be nice to find out a bit about Valentine's day and the meaning behind it...

One legend goes that the Romans threw a priest named Valentine in prison for his teachings. On February 14th, Valentine was beheaded not only because he was Christian, but also because he had supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed he wrote her a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine" It is traditionally a day where lovers express their love for one another by presenting flowers, chocolates, and cards.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Bits and Bobs!

Feeling like spring can not be really that far away! I started to think about Valentines Day. I came up with a lovely idea of making cards with all the little bits and bobs I have laying around.

If you look closely you can see all the different things, feathers, shells from Barricade Beach, flowers, tiny rose buds, Vintage lace etc etc. I ended up making 25 cards all needing a home. I'm now off to see if anyone wants to buy them, however they are all really one offs, I'm sure I could do something similar or to a colour scheme. For sale at £3.00 each. They would of course make a beautiful keepsake Wedding card. Watch out for more to follow!
