This
hanging Valentine's decoration is
adorable! It is
brand new and in excellent condition! This item
comes from a smoke free home.
This is an item that I made, back in the 80's, from materials I purchased at a local craft store. It has been stored and never used. This wooden decoration measures 9.25" x 8.125". It is made from a basket top which I painted pink. I used a hot glue gun to attach the wooden items, the ribbon around the outside rim, the lace on the inside/top rim and the decorative lace and ribbon bow at the bottom.
At the top of this decoration is a pair of faceless Amish children with a pink heart between them. The boy is dressed in blue jeans, a cream-colored shirt, brown shoes, and a brown hat with a black band. The girl is dressed in a red dress with cream polka dots, a cream-colored bonnet with a red band, and brown shoes. The heart that is resting between their feet is pink with cream polka dots. Below the couple is a red heart with cream-colored polka dots. On the heart, a wooden pink "LOVE" has been attached. The "O" looks like 2 hands making a heart shape.
The ribbon I used to rim the outside of the basket top is red with a lace overlay. This ribbon coordinates with the bow at the bottom. The white lace I used on the inside and top of the rim coordinates with the lace I put on the sides of the bow at the bottom of the decoration.
I put screw eyes in the back of the basket top and looped a piece of red satin ribbon through for hanging. This decoration can be hung on a door or on a wall.
This item would make a wonderful decoration for a classroom, office, or household to be displayed around Valentine's Day! I am hoping to find it a good home.
