a few of my favorite things

When Nathan was just a little guy, he would collect heart shaped rocks for me. I have treasured them for years, but sadly they were tucked away in my jewelry box. Until now! Rubies Place has a darling and simple tutorial {here} for framing heart shaped rocks. I just had to try it. All it took was a thrifted little frame that I spray painted red, a scrap of fabric, a little hot glue and my treasured rocks. Now I can see them every day!

Kathy at Kathy's Cottage makes the most beautiful heart shaped pillows. When I saw this most recent one posted, I just knew it had to come home with me. It is so Cath Kidston! I love it! One of my favorite touches that Kathy adds to her pillows are darling little brooches. Oh they just sing to my heart! It is such a delight to come down the hall to our master bedroom and see our sweet heart hanging on the door.
Thank you so much Kathy
for the quality and love you put into your creations!
