i participated in Dolly's My Vintage Heart Swap. My partner is Kathy from Country Chintz. We were to send a containter filled with "heart" items. This is what I sent her.
I embellished the heart box with German scrap trims and millinery flowers. The "key to my heart" was also made by me and is embellished with a vintage key and vintage wallpaper.

ReplyDeleteHi Ele,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog and putting your name in the hat for the Mardi Gras beads. The south goes crazy during this time of year. With parades, balls, luncheons and they all lead up to Fat Tuesday. This is the beginning of lent and when you eat a King Cake there is a baby baked into the cake and that represents the baby Jesus. The whole Mardi Gras is steeped in tradition and it really is a sight to behold. I just went to a Mardi Gras ball last night and all I can say is the gowns and procession was over the top.
Love your Valentines box, it is beautiful, great job as always.
Hugs~ Michele
Ele,
