Thyme for a little sweetness

Here are some
sweet
little heart boxes
I've painted


the heart boxes are painted an antique white


the flowers are painted in various
shades of periwinkle, lilac and purple
I added a periwinkle bow


I painted the insides periwinkle
and
painted a vine around the outside edges



I paint these every year
for
Valentines Day

They are nice to give as gifts
especially with jewelry inside!!!!
A few years ago I painted
75
of these for bridal shower favors!
now thats alot of
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Lynn

  1. Good-Night sweet friend...
    These are the sweetest little boxes, and just perfect for something straight from the heart, or to hold a dream close by.

    My last stop for the night, and I am off to sweet dreams. Have a beautiful day tomorrow.
    Know that you are so loved.
    Country hugs and so much love...Sherry

  2. What a lovely little boxes you have painted there Lynn. My grandmother would have adored them had she been here to see them...periwinkle was her favourite colour.
    Thanks for stopping by recently and leaving lovely messages, I really appreciated hearing from you.

  4. Lynn the heart boxes are just darling! I've always admired a person who paints as you do. Such details.
    What a labor of love painting 75 of them for a bridal shower-truly a special "heartfelt" gift!
    I'm getting ready myself for Valentine's Day-making little arrangements to sell at a local boutique that just opened. Will post a picture as soon as I get a minute to write my first post of 2010! Take care.
