I'm not Heartless!

Jenn and Jacqui at The Bowerbirds Nest did a Heart to Heart open tag! As I was scrolling through their post looking at their pictures of all the lovely hearts in their home I was getting a bit worried. I kept thinking, I haven't got hearts, I can do cherubs, roses, butterflies and fairies but I think our home is a bit low on hearts!


The more I thought about it the more concerned I got because after all, the heart is a symbol of love, surely I'm not heartless!


So I went a heart hunting and sure enough we have got hearts! Not too many on the ground floor I have to admit but we still have some heart downstairs.


This carved heart is the top panel of the umbrella stand in the 'Grown Up's' room.




This cute little kitchen sampler was cross stitched by my Mum years ago.


And these heart cookie cutters were given to me by my god daughter.


And of course the trinket box Gail made me for my birthday, its got heart shaped drawers!



This gorgeous sampler was done by Jean, my mother in law.



There was a bit more heart in the upstairs part of the house. This heart cushion hangs on our bedroom door.


The ring cushion Mum embroidered for our wedding rings. As I photographed it I realised that both Babes and I had forgotten our 11th wedding anniversary, which was the day before I took the photo. Whoops!



A photo frame with a heart has my baby Princess inside it.



A vintage baby brush and comb set, the brush is heart shaped.



A picture of an Angel holding a heart.



This cute little heart is a hanging trinket box that Mum brought me back from one of her Australian holidays.


Another heart shaped trinket box.


A minature cross stitch of hearts done by Mum.



I have quite a few hearts in my teeny tiny ensuite bathroom. This heart carved shelf. (Yes, Jen and Jacqui, I collect bath salts also!)



A heart shaped plate my beloved Granny china painted years ago.



And a tile she also did.



These pink glass hearts were part of a bracelet that pinged apart.


The Princess put this heart shaped sticker of Cinderella and Prince Charming on my bathroom mirror!



The Princess has heaps of hearts in her room -phew!

This heart shaped Barbie lamp.



A reindeer that Daddy got her in Sweden earlier this year.



And this Dalmatian doggie that Daddy brought back from another business trip.



The Princess's birth mummy gave her this beautiful pottery Angel heart last Christmas.


The Princess has a few hearts in her china cabinet. This heart frame is her at about 6 days old in the arms of her birth mummy.



A miscellaneous heart shaped button.



A silver heart shaped trinket box (I must clean it!)



And last but not least my cellphone has heart bling!


I can tell you I am really relieved that I have got a heart, let alone more than one!

What a cute idea! I love hearts. I don't think I have many either, but I'll bet if I look around, I could find a few. although, I usually pass the cool ones I find along to my sister, her last name is Valentine.

Rachael, you certainly do have a heart, many of them. What a nice display you have. I must do a hunt as I'm sure I must have some hearts too.

Hugs Karen

Wow Rachael you do have hearts afterall. I think we all need to start looking for hearts! Maybe we have them and just don't appreciate the fact that they are there.
