The heART cards arrived this week - & they are all so beautiful!! They arrived wrapped in pink tissue paper - perfect for making some more beeswax collage :)My grand daughters quickly began 'claiming' cards - "I want THIS one!" . . . I explained that while we could make some similar ones, these are mine for now :)
THank all of you for making this exchange so fun! Some of my favorites are the itty bitty ones - who would have thought??
Of course, i love doll's houses & minatures - just received some dolls from England, & am thinking of making 'herbal healer's' cottage, based on Monica Furlong's 'Wise Child' series, set in Middle ages. Several homes are described in great detail.
I've checked a few doll house books out from the Library, & have been jotting down ideas. When Mary & Josh were young, I drew paper dolls, & we loved doll house stuff. For several years she played with one from her grandparent's attic, then gave it back to the aunt for whom it was originally constructed.
Our dear friend Kate also loved doll houses, & refurbished one from her own childhood - which entertained my kids for hours. The grandkids have passed a sturdy wood 'kid style' home back & forth - i'ts currently at Emily & Gregory's home.
I gave some of the earlier beeswax heart cards to my office buddies & a group of gal friends - stamped a word on each (my original idea for the heART cards) & everyone smiled at getting a home made valentine!
Thanks again to all the heARTists for participating in theValentine's exchange!

Hi Dia!
Oh, thank you so much for your harp/heart Valentine! What fun to receive this spread of magic in the mail. So glad we all participated. I *love* the idea of creating a miniature herbal healer's cottage a la WISE CHILD (oh, I love that book -- such a quintessential source for my imaginative adult life. Dia, I love what you wrote to me about the flute maker saying to "play the hills and trees". Oh, perfect!!!!
xxxooo, Reiki and harp song to you, my dear!
