And The Heart Says Forever

I thought I would post something uplifting today in light of what's happening in Japan.  Regardless of where you live, these events are going to affect you in one way or another even if only economically.  And while I work on some hopeful prints of my own, in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these heart-inspired designs.  The first one is a mug designed by Jen Ray available from her Etsy shop Corduroy.   Ne sois pas triste means, do not be sad, in French.

Next is a ring called Heart Dance designed by Nafsika from Greece who also has a shop on Etsy.  This is such a lovely design, I think it would make a great gift for anyone.

These earrings are from designer Jeanine Payer who has a penchant for writing poetic quotations on her jewellery. How can you not like these?

And I just love this necklace from Pat Falcão a Brazilian designer whose work is available from Colette.  The shape of the hearts has an almost graffiti-like quality that I think is really unique.

This pretty necklace, also discovered on Etsy, is from Minty Fresh Fushions.  I love the touch of copper here, I think it's such a nice contrast to the silver.
