~Hearts~Tuesday Display Chain~

Each Tuesday Misi, of Gable House Musings, chooses a theme and invites bloggers to play along with her "Tuesday Display Chain" by featuring items from their collections. The theme this week is Valentines.

This one was easy for me. I've always loved hearts and have collected them in various forms over the years. It was hard to choose only a few to share. So I didn't...
~Old blue calico heart on Grandpa Ralph's chair~

~Orders, ready to ship~
~A small sampling of my Rowe Pottery collection~
~Old Tin Hearts~

~I'm the proud owner of the first quilt my Mother-in-law ever made. It's a tiny little thing, faded some, but a treasure to me~
~Another treasure. Miss Edith with her heart shaped bling. We rescued Edie from a local shelter...she was a runaway. Please microchip your pets and make sure they wear identification in case they are ever lost~
~A special gift from a dear friend. She knows me well~
~A pinny and a paper cutting (from 1996!)~
~A simple wax heart accents a garage sale find~
~A bowl of crazy quilt hearts~
 


~Beeswax hearts~ 
~A favorite old Valentine card~
~Pottery from our youth and sea shells from Sanibel Island. The creamy white Scotch Bonnet brings back memories of one of the best days I've ever had~ 
~A garden wedding and bad hair, in the original 1970's picture frame...a gift from my maid of honor~
~A second paper cutting and a Bennington Pottery heart from my Momma~
~A panda and a pinny~
~A treat from Mr.Kattywhompus...gotta love that man~
~The man who stole my heart. Then...
...and now~
