Since Tussie Mussie's were originally used to hold flowers, and are Victorian. I think they are perfect for Valentines Day. If I were to give one as a gift, I would fill a little bag with chocolates, or salt water taffy and tuck it down inside.
Here is one that I have made. Embellished with vintage wallpaper and a row of rhinestones that came off of my mother's old party dress! This tussie was made last summer and holds peonies from my garden. A reminder that spring will come!
Please click pictures to enlarge, so you can see the detail!

Ele, your tussies are beautiful. My dear English Granny loved tussies, for her funeral I made her an Elizabethan styled one using roses, lavender etc picked from my Mum's garden and then wrapped the flowers in a piece of vintage embroidered linen, she was a wonderful needleworker as well:) Rachael
