Heart Shaped Limoges Boxes
Heart shaped Limoges boxes say what a card only tries to. Red hearts carry gold bows and removable chocolates, blue hearts bloom with forget me nots, and a cobalt heart glows with golden flowers. A key to my heart box, an amour heart and a Marie Antoinette heart with blue ribbon keep the romance classical. Many hearts here are made for a date on the calendar. Rochard paints hearts for a 50th wedding anniversary, a 50th birthday and a Sweet 16, and another heart carries a bride and groom.
Patriotic hearts wear the Stars and Stripes or the Texas flag, while a cherub on pink honors breast cancer awareness. Every heart is porcelain from Limoges, France, painted by hand and fitted with a hinge and clasp. One Rochard heart is made without a hinge at all, and others hide a perfume bottle, and a pair of mice serenade each other from the lid. A heart is an easy pick for a husband shopping for an anniversary, and a sweet way to mark a daughter's sixteenth. Keep the earrings or the wedding rings inside.
