...to wonder if this is the new sticks-in-vases/pebbly shit craze?

[RainbowRabbit33]

I needed to do some deliveries this afternoon, and as the weather was quite nice, I decided to walk rather than take the car. As a result, I was able to take in my surroundings a little more carefully than usual.

Over the course of my approx. three mile walk, I swear I must have seen tens and tens of houses with hearts hanging up in windows, on doors and on gates. All made out of painted punched metal or wicker. They all seemed to be huge, maybe 30cm in diameter. Some of them were quite nice I suppose, but I couldn't help but wonder when I missed that particular memo.

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon, or is it just my very middle class suburb of a fairly dull town?

YABU

my house is full of them

It's what swingers use instead of pampas grass nowadays. You obviously live in a very friendly area.

Of course, it's possible that not everything I typed is true.

[Bluestocking]

Not new, have been around for a while, but definitely have a lot in common with twigs 'n' pebbly shit.

[BumpingFuglies]

And you care because...?

[InNeedOfBrandy]

I have a lovely wicker heart on my wall

[BumpingFuglies]

Got The Wicker Man on mine, Brandy

[cocolepew]

I collect hearts. I'm not a swinger but can't vouch for DH.
All mine are indoors though.

[RainbowsFriend]

My NDN has a wicker chicken hanging up outside her door.

It looks evil

[Wickedwaterwitch]

YANBU and they are EVERYWHERE (but not in my house)

[NaturalBlondeYeahRight]

None here, weirdos,

quickly removes wicker heart from above fireplace

[DrGoogleWillSeeYouNow]

Yep they're everywhere. I have a friend who has taken to making gingham heart cushiony hangy things and trying to sell them to us on FB.

Mines from NEXT to HA

Counts twelve heart shaped nick nacks in living room. Wondered why I have had funny looks at school gate

[MissAnnersley]

Oh dear, I have a few.

[IroningBoredDaily]

I don't have any wicker hearts, but I do have a wicker star that comes out at Christmas and hangs in the window.

[piratecat]

i have 12 heart shaped pebbles. I win.

(collected by my own hand from the beach over past few yrs not bought as a set from the Range)

[IAmSheWhoMustBeObeyed]

Oh yes it's rife round here.
When we viewed our current house it had at least one and sometimes several large wicker rings/wreaths on the wall in each room. Not hearts though so presumably in the dark ages of sticks and pebbly shite

[dingit]

Holy shit. My next door neighbours are swingers. - runs to hide wicker heart in dining room.

[BarredfromhavingStella]

Yabu, I have 2 such items hung in my bedroom window DH would agree with you however

[MooMooSkit]

They are always listed as "shabby chic wicker hearts" or something on ebay. The whole shabby chic thing seems to be big.

[scratchandsniff]

Oh dear I'm guilty of this. People keep buying me them as presents. One friend got me a heart shaped memo blackboard thingy for the kitchen and a wooden heart hangy thing for my bday, feel like I can't not hang them up, but am concerned It's beginning to get a bit twee. Do star shaped wicker things count? Got one of those in the bedroom window.

[sue52]

Oh dear. I've got a heart shaped blackboard thingy in my kitchen. I write messages to my cleaner on it. I do hope she doesn't think DH and I are swingers. We live in a small village and rumors do spread.

[Startail]

Have wicker star on top of my tree at Christmas, a proper pagan pentagram style one.

No wicker hearts, DD has some heart wall stickers. Butterflies are my thing and they appear in my bedroom.

[RainbowRabbit33]

Oh, it seems I was a bit late to the party, guess that shows I walk round with my eyes closed most of the time!!

I have just realised that we have a red glass candle holder on our lounge window sill. I have never lit the candle, but it's just dawned on me that it would make a big red light. Maybe I should bin it and go and buy a wicker heart!
