Spreading Hearts!

Last week, leading up to Valentine’s Day, my friend Rachael Ashe, an amazing local artist, invited me to join her in an adventure in spreading some hearts around our neighbourhood!

Rachael made the stencils (and you can read more about it a post over at her site) and it was so neat to see her amazing paper cutting art in the form of a stencil!

Our first adventure into spreading these hearts in the neighbourhood got a bit rained out, but was so fun none the less.  Our second adventure, on Valentine’s Day was much less rainy and these ones are still standing strong!

If you are local and you spot one, we have a hashtag for sharing them with us #heartingtheneighbourhood

As you know, I LOVE the serendipity of coming across hearts out and about in the world and it happens on such a surprisingly regular basis and it felt really inspiring to be the one to put hearts out there for other people to find!

Of course, using spray paint isn’t going to work for many of us, but chalk is an awesome alternative!  Have you tried something like this before? Or do you want to?

If you happen to feel drawn to put a little love out there in the form of hearts for other people to find, please do share it with me using #heartingtheneigbourhood or if you step into the photo with your hearts please do share it using the #beyourownbeloved hashtag as I’d LOVE to see!

Here are a few more snaps of some of the hearts we left!
