About Me
Let's Get Acquainted
I grew up in Decorah, Iowa (https://www.visitdecorah.com/) and feel that part of my heart will always be in Iowa. Decorah is the first place I think of when I am dreaming of little red hearts. As a young child, I remember being very fascinated by things shaped like hearts. I loved playing Huckle Buckle Beanstalk in kindergarten – that was a game of hiding a heart shaped paperweight and seeing who could find it first. I also loved that my Norwegian heritage was full of little red hearts and other heart shaped items (rosettes). In middle school/junior high, I spent a lot of time at one of our local shops in Decorah because my best friend’s grandparents owned it. That shop was Vanberia and it was full of Scandinavian everything, including little red hearts.
As I aged, I always wanted to bring that joy of seeing hearts back into my life.
The gifting of little red hearts was my first step towards bringing that childhood joy back into my life and all of those around me. Some of you reading this may have even received one of these red hearts from me.
The idea of taking photos with a little heart came to me on a whim and the next morning when I woke up, I grabbed a red heart from my drawer and ran out to snap a photo with it and share it with my Facebook friends. I thought it just might cheer someone up! And that is how it all started. And the only words that came to me were "Pick Me Up Love Hearts".
