purple hearts

i was cruising the aisles of one of my favorite art stores the other day,
and this paper caught my eye. how could i possibly resist those charming little clusters of purple hearts.....


especially when i knew how sweet they would look alongside six rows of delightful little chain stitching!

    Wonderful purchase and a great use for the paper. Fresh, clean, very summery. Amazing what a bit of browsing can do for the soul.

    Hi lori, Your hearts in blues and violet remind me of the Bluebonnets of Texas. So pretty!

    Hi Lori, wanted to tell you that I have started working in my blank journal that I purchased from you - I absolutely love it - I love the size, the way it lays flat, I love the paper ... so much fun. I have many pages in various stages of being almost done - will start posting some next week and I will let you know when I do. I'm going to have to order another soon - I don't want to be without!

    Oh Lori...I can see how you couldn't resist that paper, it's so sweet. Your journal is perfectly gorgeous. I love how you matched the section divider papers to the covers...and I'm still in disbelief at how perfect your journals always are. You work is just impeccable! xo Paulette

    What a beautiful journal.
    And that quote in the previous quote - very powerful - and scary.
    Loved the interview and the fabulous photographed pieces!
    And thank you for your comment on my blog. Yes, I ran away. But if I knew you were offering chocolate I would have made my way to your door.
    XOXOXO
