Rhonda Rabbit seems like the ideal magnet to launch this Valentine's Day list - although she could just as easily be on an Easter list. She's a "hand-crafted soft sculpture refrigerator magnet ... filled with fragrant lavender" from Susan Faye. Update on Feb. 15, 2012: Susan doesn't seem to make magnets any more.
Tinch Design Studios in Dunedin, New Zealand, makes some lovely heart-shaped magnets from recycled materials. "This set is made from high-contrast black & white photography from vintage crochet patterns, and aged-white vintage sheet music from Beethoven's Symphony 3, fabric offcuts and a repurposed garment." The magnets are sold on both Etsy and Felt, a New Zealand-based site for handmade items.
For more recycled products, there are the tin magnets from an old barn roof, made by Melanie West of MWestDesigns.
Boulder Pass Metalworks makes this heart-shaped magnet - and many other neat ones, too - from heavy gauge steel.
And Vilmain makes heart-shaped magnets from pewter; you can buy either the "mixed hearts" or the "original hearts" from Sattva Gallery.
