Valentine's Rosebud Initials



Here are my Valentines Rosebud Ornaments. I've shaped them into our initials.

G for Guy


S for Sarah


And, of course, a heart.


Sarah loves Guy.


Or Guy loves Sarah.


Depending on how the mood takes me.

;-)

The letters were actually easier to make than in yesterday's post. There was no twisting of the wire to be done.  Just gently bending the end back around the last rosebud.


*************************************
One more day to go to my English Garden Party. Eeeeee!

Come on over tomorrow (Wednesday morning GMT) to link up.

There will be a bath available for anyone who gets over-excited by all the scrumptiousness available to drool over.....


{Can you imagine? A bath in the garden?}



I'm linking to the fab parties in my sidebar.

    Sarah, so so so adorable!!! You must post at the same time that I sit down for my morning cup of coffee after getting kids to school and cleaning the kitchen. You must think I am your stalker, Maybe I am :-)

    Just found your blog, not a big fan of Valentine's day myself but if that means I can make all the gorgeous things you have posted, bring it on! Must admit not taken by the idea of a bath outside at this time of the year...

    Dear Sarah, How lovely your rosebud garlands look....so much more stylish and elegant than so many of the really rather nasty Valentine gifts that I have chanced to see in so many shop windows. And where are they to be hung?

    Wow Sarah is a great idea to make garlands of rosebuds with the initials!
    I could use them either ...

    Oh you are so clever, I just read the post about making these with the rosebuds from e-bay.
    I hope your husband appreciates this romantic gesture.

    I would love a bath in the garden if it was surrounded by tall breezy grasses. Sigh.

    Sarah, you are a good old-fashioned romantic, I love that!! So sweet!

    That bath is dreamy, it's got me imagining myself in a hot climate and of course, that there would be my private land surrounded by trees.

    Love it! It is very cute and Valentine's themed without screaming Valentine's decor in a cheesy way. Did that make sense? Maybe not, but I love it!

    That was so not what was I expected! I should have known you wouldn't do any simple little wreath with those rosebuds. What a darling idea! And, ummmm...bath in a garden? Just as long as its way out in the middle of nowhere! :-)
    Thanks for your sweet comment on the post today friend, you made my day!

    Hello dearest Sarah,
    I have not been on the computer much this week, I am just SO tired. And therefore I am feeling blogged out...a new expression, I made it up!;o)
    I adore your gorgeous rosebud heart and initials, they are very sweet. I will be by for your party tomorrow, though, I will show my garden last summer and what it looks like now. I hope that is okay, it's got two feet of snow on it now...no indoor flowers or plants.
    And I have not been working on my sweater, I need some cashola and a trip to the fabric store first.
    Thanks for checking up on me.
    Love and hugs, Cindy

    I LOVE it! I'm working on a large burlap covered wood (empty) frame to hang above our bed and had planned to put 2 hanging quilt hearts inside the frame but I think this is now the plan. Absolutely LOVE the idea - oh mine will be an "S" for Sarah too. :-)
