this month has been a bit on the busy side with not as much time to post or catch up in blogworld as I'd like to have done...thank you so much to those who have taken the time and left comments, I will be round soon to catch up with you all!
January has seen Blueberry Hearts 3rd blogiversary - 3 years! Where's that time disappeared to??? It also sees my 200th post - this one!
As it's a bit of a milestone, I thought I'd focus on one of my favourite things...hearts...
two faves here, Yankee Candles and draped across this Island Spa jar is a gorgeous bracelet that I bought last year in Majorca...its barely been absent from my wrist since I got it...sparkly crystals and pearls - a winning combination everytime...
this little delicate one was a gift from Lovely Mum a few years back...to be forever displayed and treasured...
just before Christmas I was going to get busy with numerous crafty bits and bobs...some got done...some didn't and they then found there way back into the 'forgotten basket'...if I cant find something, 9 times out of 10 it'll be in there...this is one such project in component form before finding its way back into the basket...
I have hankered, drooled and absolutely lusted after one of these Gisela Graham hearts for ages, but with a £40+ price tag I simply refused!
so an evening spent with the above bits and a hot glue gun painfully clagging pearly bits onto my fingers, I eventually finished my own version....
simply achieved by snipping up pearl 'spray' style necklaces and glueing onto a plain grapevine wreath...
making your own means adding as much bling as you like...and I like quite a bit...!
continuing round the house though, a few more hearts caught my eye...this one hanging from my wicker trunks was a wedding gift....
this cute little glass one hangs from a wedding memory box and contains confetti thrown on the day...
this lovely sparkly glass light up one was a Christmas gift...
it looks lovely lit day or night...
to celebrate my blogiversary and 200th post, I am going to do a little giveaway...to take part just leave a comment and tell me what your favourite thing is, I'd love to know! Open to all worldwide, an extra entry too if you are a follower of this humble blog!
Have a great week all,

(PS I'll draw a winner next week! x)
Congratulations!! Lots of lovely hearts xx Erm trying to think of my favourite thing - at the moment I think it is my chanel coco madamoiselle body lotion that I got for christmas off my hubby I just lurve the smell (but only after my bath at night - its too posh for work!!)
ReplyDeleteA hearty bloggy birthday hug being sent your way!

Congrats on your bloggy anniversary. My favourite thing at the moment is my new cooker.
ReplyDeleteI like your pearly heart better than the Gisela one i think.

Well you know I love hearts, and gin, but the thing I'm really loving at the moment is being able to wear my jammies in bed as the hot sweats have subsided for a while (although I know they will be back!) xxx
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing...probably hearts as well. I love what you have made. I got a new lovely one today. I am with you on the island spa candle i love the the fragrance in the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteHello from an existing follower :) My complete and utter favourite things are rainbows, I cant get enough of them xx
ReplyDeleteI love hearts too. Love sitting indoors watching heavy snow falling outside.
ReplyDeleteMy home seems to have hearts everywhere too!I know the G G wreath you love so much and the price tag is pretty hefty- yours looks wonderful AND you have the added enjoyment of something that you made..
ReplyDeleteI love the Seasons- yes even this time of year that everyone else seems to struggle with-knowing that Spring is just around the corner..
Happy Blogiversary too!!!
Warm Wishes,
Callie
I love the heart light. I suppose my favourite thing is my summerhouse but if its an item then its got to be candles, love them.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on 3 years and your 200th post! I love all your hearts, but I especially love the pearl spray heart you created - just gorgeous! My absolute favourite thing is stars (did you guess?) I am already a follower of your lovely blog :) x
ReplyDeleteMy home is full of hearts too, but even better I love shells, interesting stones, driftwood, flowers, patchwork textiles, ceramics, and ... well I'd better stop there! Your pearl spray heart was just as good as the 'other one'!
DeleteCongratulations on your blogging milestones! I agree hearts rule, the pear one you made is fabulous! I have a lavender heart that I love (even when it falls down and scatters lavender all over the place!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your bloggy achievements!
ReplyDeleteLove your heart wreath, really beautiful!
My favourite thing is glass jars and bottles, either clear or pale green. I have a shelf full of glass bottles, different shapes ad sizes, in my kitchen, all empty. I also have a row of them on my kitchen window each with a single flower, looks gorgeous!

I'm new to your blog but have enjoyed what I've seen so far - lots of reading, tea and cream teas - very me! Looking forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteJust caught up on your blog - the heart you made yourself with the necklaces looks stunning!! You clever thing! My favourite thing is anything with Union Jacks on! We have loads in our house and red, white and blue will feature strongly in our wedding too!
ReplyDeleteWell done on reaching a couple of big milestones with your blog. The light up heart is very pretty and you made a great job of the copied heart with pearls!
ReplyDeleteI haven't a particularly favoutite thing but do have a soft spot for my homemade mini pin-cushion. I am also a follower :-)
