Hearts for Christchurch....

Last weekend we took a family trip to the Christchurch Museum and botanical gardens......mostly with the intention of seeing the W.O.W costumes, which we did (no photography unfortunately or I would have taken a hundred pictures). Anyway while we were there we came across the 'Hearts for Christchurch' exhibition, this lovely idea was started by Napier resident Evie Harris which once spread through the crafting community began an influx of handmade hearts from all over the world.....


We strolled through the room admiring all the hand stitching and effort made by so many different people and  it was hard not to feel a little uplifted in the process......


They came in many colours and sizes spreading across the walls in various arrangements, some with written messages, but each individually handmade with love..... over 4,000 in total!!
