I'm going a little crazy with the hearts I think.
I can't seem to stop.
I make them by the dozens.
I do things like this all the time.
Go overboard making things I love.
(you should see me with baking cookies) I just can't stop once I start))
Using all the pretty vintage laces, new and old fabrics and bits and bobs
that I have been collecting for years.
You have no idea how hard it is for me to use my little stashes of pretties.
I am a hoarder of beautiful things and I have a hard time parting with them.
I like to keep them in big glass jars and just stand and stare at them.
So this is BIG.
Really BIG!
I have been making them for friends and family for
I just keep making them.
Like the sachets I made before Christmas.
Valentine's Day.
And true to form...
I just keep making them.
Like the sachets I made before Christmas.
Once I got started I
just couldn't quit.Sewing and stuffing~
and stuffing and sewing.
At least a platter of these have a lot less calories in them than the sugar cookies
I've been wanting to bake.
And they will last much longer too!
Cookies?
I just may make tomorrow baking day after all and give the sewing machine a break.
I will be sure to leave a few for Valentine photos (maybe : o)
The little cherub graphic came from Karen at the Graphics Fairy.

I want to thank the assistant editor of Romantic Homes Beth Livesay
for asking me a couple of months ago if they could feature my blog in their March issue.
Of course I said YES!
I can't wait to get my own copy and see the page myself.
I really appreciate being asked to participate in such a lovely publication.

Oh, those hearts are beautiful! I love all the variety. Congratulations on your Romantic Homes feature...how exciting :)
Wow! Congratulations! I'm surprised that it took them so long to find you. I will look for the magazine too - thanks for showing the cover so I'll know what to look for.
Your little hearts are perfect for Valentine's Day. All those wonderful little bits and scraps of beauty - your friends and family will love them!
They look as pretty as little frosted cakes though! Congrats on your magazine feature. That is wonderful!
Hi Sweetie!
It is always a thrill to visit your blog!!!! I am just oohing ahhhing over your hearts. They are so gorgeous and
Look so delightful all together like that. I wanted to make some this year but ended doing a lot with paper instead.
Congrats on the magazine. Beth is wonderful soul.
Big hugs to you,
Holly
Dear June
Hearts and more hearts made by such a beautiful heartfelt woman! What better way to use up some of those precious pieces for precious family and friends.
Congratulations on being published in Romantic Homes!
Sending you a bunch of virtual roses from my garden dear June!
Sweet love and hugs,
Suzy
I love your hearts, dear June! They are just gorgeous! I keep going back and looking at the beautiful laces and embellishments you've used.

Congratulations June on being featured!!
And I know how you feel about parting with much loved treasures, I'm the same way. I buy beautiful vintage fabric to make pillows for my business and then I have such a hard time cutting it up and selling them. I have quite a few pillows that have stayed home with me. :)
Hope you have a lovely Thursday.
Sincerely,
Melinda
Ahh, I love the heart with the little pink flower. Sweet!
Kristin
Lovely, lovely! Congratulations! Can't wait to see your feature.
Dearest June,
Your hearts are incredible! Wow you are like a volcano that just bursts full of energy. But to receive such a lovely, zero calorie heart is a privilege.
Congrats on being featured in the lovely Romantic Homes magazine! You are a DEAR and so deserving of this.
Have a wonderful day and sending you lots of love,
Mariette
Oh June, Your Hearts are Incredible, 1 or a dozen they are beautiful.... I can see one of those huge lidded glass display jars filled to the top... Congrats on the magazine publication too ~ You sure deserve it!

Oh June these are so gorgeous!! I think we need to do a swap but I don't have anything nearly as gorgeous!!!
I am working on my creative space this week as it is a little bit slower for me this week with ministry things. It's been fun but I have so very far to go! The only thing that looks really different is me with all the paint I have gotten on me!!
bee blessed

Woo hoo! Fantastic news!!! Congratulations for being featured in such a gorgeous magazine! I'm so delighted to know.
Your hearts are fabulous, I relly miss making them. I had plans, I had plans... but now that I have an agent, it looks like it's very difficult for me to make other but painting. I have such gorgeous antique linens i found at the antique market that I'd really love to use for hearts... let's see. You've inspired me for sure, dear June!

Dear June,
You are just TOO clever....your little hearts are SO beautiful and are so perfectly made. You have such a talent and such a good 'eye'. I love the old lace coupled with the beautiful floral fabrics, ribbons and pearl buttons.
I also think that a batch of sugar cookies wouldn't go amiss either !!!! haha
.....and, thank you SO much for your kind birthday wishes ..... you are such a lovely blogging friend. Much love June. XXXX
... As every thing you do, darling June: they are stunning! =)

Those hearts are gorgeous!!!! Love all the pretty lace. OH COngrATS!!! I can't wait to get the magazine!
What pretty lace hearts June! I love hearts and Valentines is the perfect time of year to bring them all out!
Here lately,I have come to the conclusion that I should just leave them out all the time since they make me smile and everyone needs a smile at least once a day!
I smile each time I visit you though so maybe I should just stop by more often!
Congratulations on the R H piece
How fun! I will have to buy it so that I can say " This is my dear friend June" Yay!
~sending you much love and hugs

Oh June I can just see you sitting for hours at your sewing machine as it hums away as you think of the loved one you are making your next heart for. How lucky they are to receive one. They will cherish them for many years to come.
I will be even more excited about my issue knowing you will be in it.
hugs
Carole
Oh my, those hearts are just beautiful. Each one with it's own special touch and personality. LOVE LOVE them.
And I bet your sugar cookies are just as lovely.
My fingers just don't create "lovely", but there is a lot of "love" that goes into what I attempt.
I wish my grandkids were around to help me "mess up" my valentine cookies (tee,hee) Then I have a legitimite excuse. (heck, did I spell that right...legi???)
That is oober cool that you got featured in a magazine. Congrats...but I'd say It's About Time They Found YOU.
Dear June, your heart is bigger than all those splendid hearts times one thousand. Giving them away is terribly thoughtful. I will most certainly be buying the magazine and bragging to my friends that I know you and how beautiful your blog, home, and gardens are. It was ordained that you would be found out by magazines. hugs, olive
Oh, I got my magazine a week ago and you have one gorgeous full page!! Congratulations!! Those hearts are adorable!!! Your friend Carol....You said they were for friends LOL!
Your hearts are delicious!
So pretty...and I understand completely how hard it is to dip into your beautiful stash of lovelies.
Congratulations on your magazine feature...I can't wait to see it!
Take care! Laura :)
June ~ I love those hearts! I also saw your blog and article in RH and I was very excited to see you in it! Congrats! xo
Oh June, your bowl of hearts is so dear...and it is no wonder your blog is featured in Romantic Homes, a favourite of mine, it is so romantic too! Every little treasure that I could see is more lovely than the next. Happy Valentine's Day to you,N.xo
Well, I made heart sachets and heart cookies, too...it is so fun to see how everyone's are different! Yours are beautiful!
CONGRATS on RH...yay for you...you must be pleased as punch:)
I'm still chuckling over your pin with a chandy in the horse stable...talked your MR. into one yet?!
Rene
Congratulations and so deserved! Your blog is truly fabulous!
Dear June,

Hi June!!!
Oh I am just in love with your hearts!!! I did a post on "Sweet Hearts" earlier this week too - and yours make mine looks so elementary {I don't know how to sew well...at all.}! lol And I agree, these hearts are better because they have zero calories!!! :) This is just so fun! Love your V-day header too! By the way, may I ask what kind of camera you use for your photos? They always look so crisp and beautiful!!! LOVE IT! :) Hugs and happy V-day weekend to you and yours!
XOXO's,
Jessie

Have fun making those cookies.

Congratulations to you, June! I was wondering when they would recognize your beautiful home and treasures!! I love your hearts today! I spent the day making some grain sack ones....but for some reason....they just don't look as gorgeous as yours. lol!
xoxo laurie
No wonder you have been on my mind so much here lately. Your famous! Congrats honey I can't wait to buy a copy and show everyone I know that you are my friend. lol
Now the hearts honey are just delightful. I can't believe you have made so many. I can just see you in your studio surrounded by all these hearts.

June,
I love the one with rhinestones. CONGRATULATIONS on having your blog featured!! You're the second blogging friend in this issue. I will definitely be buying one.
Hugs!
Nancy
I am a hoarder of beautiful things also! I can really relate, I just get so much pleasure out of looking at my stash of pretties. Congrats on your magazine publication, I love that magazine :)
Dearest June, these little hearts are glorious!!! Whoever receives one will treasure it forever I'm sure. I love your new header pics as well, my son used to be forever drawing hearts when he was small. He even swore he would drive a Fiat Punto car when he grew up simply because they used a heart in their advertisements. He once whittled me a sweet little heart when he was about eight of course I have it still stashed in my treasures draw!
Oh Wow!! you are going to be featured in a magazine, how totally wonderful...you deserve it though dear friend your home is just beautiful! :)))))
Biggest hugs to you from here XOXO
Jane
June - I'm on my 10th (I think) heart. They are very addicting. I'm having a valentine's tea next week and 3 of them will be going home with friends. Love your blog. Have been following for quite some time now although I just now clicked "follow" - why it took me so long....Have put your blog on the sidebar of my "inspirations".
Hi June,
Your beautiful hearts put my little hearts all to shame!!!
Congratulations on your beautiful blog being featured in Romantic Homes.
Have a good weekend,
Carolyn
June. those are beautiful! And now that you've used up most of your lace and pretty things, you can start collecting again! Yay!

p.s. The red jelly hearts in your header brought me back to childhood...thank you for the delightful flavour of "spicy cinnamon."
Congratulations on your magazine publication!!
And I think your little hearts are SCRUMPTIOUS!!!
Dear June,
I believe you have a foothold in paradise! Your hearts are so delicate and infused with love and a love of detail.
I wish you a beautiful week full of love. You will be surrounded by love: of that I am certain.
Stephanie
Dear June,
Love all the sweet little hearts you have been making with all the romantic old laces and fabrics.
Congratulations, dear friend for the feature in Romantic Homes and will buy a copy.
Hope that you are having a lovely weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
For some reason my comment I left you a couple of days ago didn't go through )o:
Anyway, Your hearts are beautiful June, so many pretty little details.
I just got my RH magazine, congratulations, what a fun mag. to be a part of.
Have a wonderful evening.
Debbie
I love your blog it is so beautiful : )
They are absolutely gorgeous! Your family & friends are blessed to receive such lovely gifts!! Good for you for letting go of your pretty bits and baubles. Have a wonderful Valentine's day - filled with lots of love. Blessings - Angela
June, thank you so much for your kind words. I love your hearts, all the little pretties attached, the little details. I am sure everyone who receives them will love them also. I know what you mean about using them. I am in the process of cleaning the basement and I always come across my stash of vintage fabrics and as much as I want to make them useful, that first cut is always the hardest. I also saw the cow drive, bring back memories of when we were kids and the cows got out. Only they never walked in a nice straight line, that is for sure. My girlfriend and I always reminisce about the time a neighbor's prize bull got out and was walking the rail road tracks. We were all trying to get him off before the train came.
Good memories. I hope you are enjoying the last of winter with anticipation of spring. I hope you and your husband have a wonderful valentine's day.
Hi June
Such lovely hearts - they look wonderful all together in a bowl. I am so excited to get the new RH, congratulations rather to them for picking you.
Have a beautiful Valentines Day
Blessings
R
Hey June, just received my copy of RH and was so excited to see you there, not once but twice!! Honey, I told you the magazines were coming, and they have. You SO deserve the recognition!! Coming to your blog is like a vacation! xoxo
Oh Junie... You're speaking my language... I am one SUPER-DUPER hoarder. I once saved a bit of fabric for YEARS... I couldn't cut into it. I found it in my stash years later....it was the nastiest KettleCloth you've EVER seen. It made me laugh......and yet, I still hang onto my favorite pieces... Silly. I should just bite the bullet and enjoy the stuff.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your hearts.....but then, I always adore everything you make. They're darling, just like you.
xoxoxo
Spencer
Made the trip on the recommendation of Laura @ White Spray Paint...so glad that I did! Count me as a new follower. Beautiful blog...congratulations on the publication! Cherry Kay
