a tiny little valentine made of little shells and beads the color of sea glass
made from a rusty 2" size mint tin, an old washer, cholla cactus skeleton, and a picture of a favorite childhood doll and a scrap of stitched paper
just the right size to hang from a cabinet door latch
this is very sweet! I read an article in Country Living (I think) about sailors valentines.....and just saw an ad on the blog "the lettered cottage" about sailors valentines. This is just spectacular!

Wow! this is stunning! I love the photo of a favorite childhood doll, is it a Muffy or Ginny doll, by chance? I still have the pieces of my Muffy doll, hope to figure out how to re-string it someday.
I love everything about your Sailor's Valentine!
