I love the little vintage Valentines they have such a sweetness to them. I can't resist the cards when I run across them at vintage stores. I have some of my collection displayed in a holder that I found at a thrift shop and made over.
I found this at a thrift shop for $3.00, it is not old but a vintage style. Notice the ugly tan knobs on the right, half of them were missing so a picked off the rest. A little bit of white paint and I have a whole new look!

So sweet, I like the dark haired children, they remind me of my daughter.
I'm sending out my own Valentines. I love the new Valentine's Day stamps the post office is offering.
Are you sending out Valentine cards this week? Do you save the cards that you receive? At one point I had carefully saved most of the cards I had received but stored them in the basement. We had a mouse that found my cards a wonderful meal, needless to say they had to go. I was not happy! I'm now storing my favorite cards in a safer place.
Have a Happy Valentine's Day!
Linking to this week:

ReplyDeleteI don't send out Valentine's day cards but you're making me think maybe I'll start - what a fun idea!

ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. I remember when I was a kid and our kids were little gettting cards.
ReplyDeleteA clever find! And such a neat way to display your old valentines.
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I just went to the store and they didn't have the Valentine stamps at the time. They are so cute. I love your vintage cards and card holder. You did a great job fixing it up. My sister first introduced me to vintage cards many years ago, and ever since then, I was hooked.
I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with happiness and love.
