Valentine Candy Box Swap...
Heart-in-Hand

Gifts from the Heart...
The Heart-in-Hand is symbolic of charity, given from the heart. The Shakers used this as a reminder of the words of Mother Ann Lee, the founder of their sect..."Put your hands to work, and your hearts to God." It also implies a loving welcome. It is a fitting theme this Valentines Day...one my swap partner Sally of Sally Annie Magundy chose for her gifts to me. Sally and I joined Sandy's fun Valentine Candy Box Swap. Sandy blog is 521 Lake Street and is one of my favorites!
Red and Aqua Happiness!
Heart-in-Hand Candy Box!

Beautiful Card...a Heart and a Hand
I put it on my Valentine Tree.
My Heart is Like a Box of Chocolates...
The most beautiful supplies...they look so delicious in little paper cups.
This needs to be "pinned" over and over and over again!
Sweet Packaging for Larger Items...
Heart-n-Hand Pillow Pattern, Buttons and Fabric.
I am over the moon, Sally!
Thank you with all my "Heart."

What precious creations! This seems like the best swap...for Valentines! Everything is so pretty! Enjoy your week my friend and your pretties! Hugs!
I'm in love! This is such a pretty post. So many lovely handmade treasures. Your Valentine Spoolie Circus is absolutely adorable!
Hi Shirley! What a lovely post you've written about our swap, thank you - another sweetness added to the memory of the event. I'm so happy you enjoyed everything! I had so much fun making the box and finding things to go inside. By the way, I cannot take credit for putting items in cupcake papers, I saw it online long ago and adopted it as a favorite thing :)
Your spoolie circus is darling!
Thanks again so much for my darling box and being so dear.
Happy Wednesday!
Sally

This is such a fun time of year! I am in love with my little circus, the colors are so cheery and when you're looking at 0 or -10 degrees for weeks, something to make you smile is a real perk in the tundra where I live.
Love ya,
Tammy
