Garden Love

Heart Shaped Crafts and Decor

Love your garden and making some crafty crafts and whimsical garden art?  Here are some hearts for you;

Growing ivy on a topiary frame is a sweet way to add something green.  A heart shaped wire in a terracotta pot is the best ever;

Rustic tin heart shaped candy tins; find out how I made them weathered and rusty here.

You can often find them around Valentines day, filled with chocolates.  After the chocolates are gone, don't discard them!

The Mercantile Power Shack is my trial for all kinds of rustic crafts; the painted sign, vintage windows and the twiggy heart shutters.

And more on the building of it on Frill Free.

One side of the willow twig heart shutters...

...and the other side; they match perfectly,
in my view.

I 'Heart' my greenhouse, where all the rustic crafts are born...The light is great, just right, even on cloudy days, due to the Bob's Superstrong Plastic that covers it.

Decorating with twiggy hearts just never gets old...When they get too weathered, just make another.  These are what is known as 'ephemeral' art .

Sempervivum, those tough and hardy garden perennials, form a heart shape all on their own in this rock wall...see more on Drought Smart Plants...

See the world through heart shaped glasses; you'll be seeing hearts in the rocks on a beach, captured by trees in the cat face scars that they bear, or whenever you want a rustic craft and need some inspiration.

Still want more?  Check out the hearts on my Pinterest board;
