Love in a Jar

I am not a lover of the shape of a heart. I like stars and crowns. I love wreaths. I like spots and squares and chevrons. I don't like hearts. Never have. From the outset for anything to do with my upcoming nuptials (what a terrible word) the rule has been no hearts.  But then I bought these little gems and couldn't resist sandwiching them together with neon thread.

I call them 'love in a jar'.  Whenever Mr goes out to get something he asks me "do you want me to bring anything back for you?" Every time I ask "can you bring me back some love in a jar?"

Of course he never has so I made it myself.

Her l Him

I took Mr to the NSW Art Gallery last weekend. It wasn't his cup of tea. He loved the building itself, the beautiful stone, the ceiling, the architecture and I liked the gilded frames more than the paintings within them, hence spending most of our time in the Gallery's cafe (where we had the toasted sandwich of our lives).

Witchery is my cup of tea and I picked up their beautiful new paper and read every word. Modern Love. It's a love I like the sound of..."being individually together".

I'm a no magnets on the fridge girl but I found some word magnets ("frantic" & "like") on a wall in Redfern and I took them home and used them to hold the torn-out love on a dewy window page.

All very romantic. The mag asks 4 couples the questions below.

I might answer them about Mr. Since blogging isn't his cup of tea I guess that makes my answers almost private (te he). Leave a comment and let me know some cute answers about you and yours.
