This is the latest addition to my collection of joy---a beautiful hand stamped pewter heart from Lisa Leonard's wonderful collection.

What a lovely collection of joy!
Love both your interpretation and all your JOY 'things", too.
Wonderful selection for this theme - joyful. =) When I see 'joy' I too think of my mom. Thank you!
Very interesting take on the topic, and the photos make a really nice and varied grouping. What is that third, brown one? I find that particularly intriguing!
What a nice interpretation of symbol !
