Because my mother loves birds so much, this heart sachet came together easily, too. I've wire-wrapped a vintage brooch that had a bird on it, then laid it over the feather "ribbon" that was diagonally sewn across the heart. The ribbon is a vintage piece from my grandmother's old sewing trims and is attached to the brown dupioni silk heart at the top center. Last, but not least, is a bird egg dangling at the bottom.

Heart Number Four....and, yes! There are more.....
I love hot pink and when I held it against this honey gold taffeta, it popped....and in a good way! The little vintage velvet flowers were on an old earring that one of my VERY best friends gave to me (yes, Lisa from KC!).....it had been her mother's earring in its previous life.
I love how the beaded "lace" outlined the edge of this Valentine, too. The bugle beads are matte-finished which I also adore.
And I still don't have any ideas for this year's heart....any suggestions? I'm thinking metallic charcoal gray taffeta....I'll look for a piece of cool jewelry to be the focal point tomorrow when I drop by my studio. But I'm all ears for suggestions, Girlfriends!!!
Take care and have a wonderful weekend, Bloggirls.....
Luv,
SuePS....Check out the holes in the Morning Glory leaves.....isn't nature cool?
