Valentine Wreath

Danni from Silo Hill Farm has been prodding me to do a project, especially a Valentine's Day project that includes my cute heart shells.

OK Danni, here ya go! We all know how much you are into repurposing things, and reusing craft supplies over and over.

I used the wreath that I made for a simple coastal Christmas wreath and stripped off the rope and starfish.

The only thing I bought for this was the sparkly heart wand, which was $1 but at 40% off only 60 cents! I had everything else!

Simple, so easy, and took me less than 10 minutes to put it together.

I attached the heart shell to the sparkly heart with hot glue, after cutting the stick down.

Some Valentine's ribbon from a few years ago.....

and some sweet little lace hearts that Shae made for me on her embroidery machine a few years ago. I've made a few pairs of earrings with these hearts.

A sweet little project that didn't even come close to breaking the bank!

I better be feeling better by Valentine's Day!

Have a great weekend!

Be Still, My Heart

I have been playing with those Heart Cockle Shells AGAIN!

This time in 14k gold filled bliss!

A perfect Valentine for someone special!

This is a short necklace, and the heart shell rests at the hollow of the throat. A nice 14 inch choker, including the width of the top of the shell. The shell is 2 inches long by nearly 2 inches wide. Big and pretty!

Is it weird that I wonder what the animals from the shells taste like? Ya know, COOKED.

I've been wondering just how delicate and delicious a heart cockle must taste!

I am a seafood nut after all, and I know that in other countries they EAT all the goodies from the sea....even these!
I sure would like to find out....would you?
