Lovely Hearts

by Staci L. Smith


With Valentine’s Day in little under a month, hearts are on my brain. 



I was never really fond of hearts, though I had many requests for them in my jewelry through the years.  So, about two years ago, I thought I'd try to make some hearts, but I'd try to do it in my own style.  The more I thought of them, and the more I saw that they all didn’t have to be so “typical” or “standard” the more I began to like them. They can be tattered and worn, like our hearts may be.  They can be bright and full of hope, and mostly they can have wings (my favorite)   I mean, after all, they represent love.  Love in all its glory…………….. All its pain…………….. All its strengths………….all its frailty.  So I guess you can say I had a change of heart about them awhile back.


So enjoy these lovely heart beads below.  And while we are on the topic of love, spread a little today.  The world needs more of it.  Say it proud…………….I LOVE YOU, and know you made a difference.  Treasure it, never take it for granted, and may it always surround you.

LOVE.

I tend to go for earthy or winged hearts my self.
