It is just about everywhere, just about all year round. It even appears, dressed in festive colours, in the guise of Christmas decorations! Now, I'm certainly not what you'd call the cutesy type. I was never one of those girls to dot their 'i's with hearts and, when my husband and I got married, we didn't immediately feel it was necessary to adorn our house with photos of us in heart-shaped frames.
However, I have recently found myself (quite by accident) on Pinterest, pinning one heart-themed craft project after another. So, I thought I'd give myself over to it and, yesterday, I put aside some time to curate a collection of some of my favourite romantically themed Folksy items. They can be found here, on my pinterest board Heartfelt.
The first image that I've included above, and at the top of this article, is a beautiful heart-shaped mirror designed by Paul Bullen, and is available for sale on his Folksy shop Free Range Designs. I simply love this design and I know many of you could easily think of a corner in your home that would be lifted by it.
Here is another of my real favourites from Folksy at the moment. These beautiful little ceramic hearts are only 5.5cm across but every bit as charming as any of the larger pieces I selected. These are made by Devon-based Shelly Lee and can be found, amongst a selection of other handmade ceramic pieces, at her Folksy shop By Shelly Lee (Ceramics).
There were so many other beautiful things by the wonderful crafting community at Folksy. I have included a small selection of some of the others below, but you can find plenty more on my Pinterest board. I have included the links to each of these so just click on the images to be taken to the designers' shops.
I hope you enjoy this little selection as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.
