If you ever saw the above window at the nearly-closed down Richmond Meet Me at Mikes store – you will know that there were about 150 hearts in the window and they looked supercute!
I made these over a few weeks in the dead of night watching old episodes of ‘Cold Feet’ and ‘Six Feet Under’!
I’d like to invite you to make a heart for our window! It can be any size, made of fabric or paper or whatever you like! We’ll hang them all together and then we’ll sell them off for $10 each, giving all funds to The Mirabel Foundation. It’s part of our continuing committment to help raise funds and awareness for the absolutely wonderful work that Mirabel do.
We’d like all hearts to arrive before valentines day. You can make one heart, or a few – or just enjoy watching the pictures of them as they arrive and get hung in the window!
Send your hearts to – Meet Me at Mikes, 63 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Victoria, 3065, Australia.
Please include a luggage tag sized note with your heart, to tell us a little about yourself – that way the receiver of the heart can know just who was nice enough to make one! It should read like this :
Hello my name is:
I heart:
I wish for:
Yipeee!

Sorry, I’m an occasional visitor who has just stumbled into this discussion. I plan to make a heart (great idea) but in the meantime, can you clarify what you mean about the store being “nearly closed”? I’ve obviously missed something important.
Hi Pip, Would love to join in- have some great fabrics waiting to be made into hearts! This is my first comment ever on a blog- how exciting and about time too. Ive been reading your blog daily for months ~yes-I’m addicted xxx000
great idea!
I would love to be a part of this too.
I’m already thinking of what heart-y thing(s) I can make…
I missed the softies challenge, so count me in on this one!
I’m really looking forward to this one.
I would love to join in the fun…
i’m cutting heart shapes with one hand and typing with the other! you know i’m in ๐
yep – my heart will be there for you to sell x x x x x
I loved making the softies and so will love to make a heart too-another good idea of yours!!
You can find the flickr group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/iheartmirabel
We will DEFINATELY be starting an I HEART MIRABEL flickr group!
Will there be a flickr group for the hearts?
It was lots of fun looking at everyone softies, especially for those of us too far away to get to see the window display.
Ooops anonymous! I made a typo! Sorry! I’m going back in to edit it now!
don’t you mean ‘i’d like to make a heart FOR our window’ or would you actually like us to make a heart OF the pic of your heart window?
Hey snow white! They are sitting in a special box waiting to be used – we actually didn’t get enough to make a good sized display – so perhaps we can try again this year and go for a bumper lot of postcard/photos! xx
Just out of curiosity… Whatever happened to the postcards we made for the window? Are they still going to be used?
Sure thing Pip- I’m in
