Have a Heart

I have a big heart - or so I like to think. I give to charity, get "tired tears" at things on the telly and quite often I cant even watch the news as it upsets me so and pulls on the old strings. I still sometimes find myself doodling I the husband (ofcourse!!)

I love hearts and all they stand for.

So over the past few years when going in and out of handmade shows & gifts shops and shopping around online, I have found myself purchasing many many decorative varieties of the heart: smelly ones, glittery ones big ones, small ones. They almost over took cushions as the husbands pet hate at one point as they hung pretily off every door knob and chair back he came across.

Again at the most recent fayre LionandtheHorse attended hearts were to be seen on almost every stand - I include ours here we are guilty as charged! Surely the time has now come for something new?!

It can still sparkle or smell, be large and bold or small enough to adorn whatever sticky outty bit of furniture takes your fancy, but just let it not be...well quite so heart shaped!!

So the next stop for LionandtheHorse will be the Kenilworth Handmade outdoor market on 4th July between now and then the cogs will be whirling in both mine and the mothers head whilst we work hard to find the next best thing............any ideas welcome!
