A few years back I spotted this old book published in 1896 in an antique store. Five dollars. Sold. To me.
It is filled with poetry, prose, and quotes scatttered here and there. Some are touching, others a bit too lovesick for my taste, if you know what I mean. But yesterday I
spotted this quote:
This spoke volumes.
That's what I need. That's what the world needs.
"too full of love..."
Having recently purchased some felted wool I grabbed
a needle and thread
and started stitching...
Not sure how I'll incorporate this into something bigger.
After I finish the stitching, of course...
But eventually it will find its place.
And
speakin' of full of love...
Valentine's Day is just around the corner.
Here's a little Valentine I've scanned in and want to share his cuteness for anyone to use for their own personal use. I've also extracted just him, but for some reason Typepad or my computer are not cooperating right now.
What a beautiful thought, and what a sweet Valentine you shared with us, too. Thanks so much!
XO,
Sheila :-)
