Purple velvet lavender-scented heart

Hours of painstaking work has gone into the making of this luxurious lavender-scented heart. The beautifully soft velvet has a central heart motif made up of beads, sequins, silk and satin ribbon roses and silk ribbon knots, all in shades of purple, mauve, lilac and white. Generously padded with wadding, inside there's a muslin heart filled with dried French lavender. A satin ribbon hanging loop and bow provides the finishing touch.

Approximate dimensions are:

• 6" x 6" (15cm x 15cm)
• 2" (5 cm) deep

If the scent begins to fade a little, refresh it by giving the heart a little squeeze, this crushes the dried lavender and releases more of its delicious scent.
