Shop window hearts and rain soaked Sundays

Today's heart(s) 

are brought to you 

by the shop keepers 

from a couple of towns we have visited this weekend

There were so many different ones that I have only selected a few...

ranging from the delicately-cut-paper  hearts

from the arty gallery-come-card shop

To the put-everything-we've-got-with hearts-on approach

in the shop that does stock everything

There was the huge-sticker-on-the-window  variety 

with the 

suspended-from-the-ceiling hearts

and  the handmade-prettily-textured-paper-hearts,

the stuffed-fabric-hearts,

and the heart-embellished-cushions

chucked in for good measure

The simple'cut-out-of-red-folded-in-half-paper' hearts

favoured by the health food shop

And the one the boys loved the most

The let's-go-for'the-cutest-hearts' style

by a very popular cafe 

How could you resist?

My favourites? 

Well sadly I couldn't get a good picture as the shop didn't have any lights on, but my heart was for the village hardware store with the oddest shaped hearts haphazardly stuck on to the window with a bright blue sticky gum (on the window side)

Each heart had a crease down the center

but each heart was definitely not symmetrical

I love that window the best

because of all of the windows I saw

this one had no illusions of grandeur

no glitz or glamour 

it was just being

seasonal

!

As I mentioned yesterday, we had been stuck indoors due to the weather and at the last minute, before it got too dark, we managed to escape. We went up into the Dales and actually did a bit of caching in the dark (great fun!) Later as we sat in the rain soaked car we decided that actually, we hadn't had that bad a weekend after all :)

And to keep you up to date with our arty heart happenings....follow here to see what Youngest made for me on this date last year.
