A house full of hearts

Heart shaped grafitti in an abandoned house in Sagres, Algarve, Portugal
On one of my walks in Sagres, Portugal I found a house filled with hearts.

I did a lot of walking along the coastline in Sagres and on my last full day there I found an abandoned house filled with heart shaped grafitti. This was such a nice surprise, hearts are probably my favourite symbol and shape, and finding a house filled with them felt like a great gift. I saw and heard other tourists walking past the house towards a point where you had a great view of the sea, and I thought to myself that they were missing a great place. On the other hand I wanted to keep the house and moment to myself so I didn’t tell them to come in and have a look. It also felt like an art exhibition since there were poems written on the walls. A lovely place and moment, so now since I’ve left I want to share that house with the world.

And now, years later, this house has inspired me to create a new collection of products. It’s just in time for Valentines Day, but the products are such that you can use them whenever you want.

They are available on my webshop, here! Go have a look, and buy something for yourself, be your own Valentine!
