If you received one of these heart-shaped love message lollies from someone in school, you were feeling pretty special! 💕
These were round lollies (sweets, candy) in various colours that had an embossed red heart and embossed message inside the heart. Though they remind me very much of my childhood in the 70s, they've been around for decades.
A company that keeps up with the times, more recent versions have included messages with "Text Me", "U Rock", "Luv U 24/7".
This is a study for my 'After School Delights' collection. This series reminds me of a time that was so much fun, so carefree and full of adventure and curiousity.
It inspires me to bring more of that back into my life! I hope it does the same for you.
