Vintage Valentines and a Before and After


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!
Before and After



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!

Sending Valentines

Like many of you I love vintage cards and postcards, they are simple and the graphs are, oh, so sweet. This was the little display that I used for the Valentine luncheon I hosted last week.



Can't you see this little guy riding around delivering valentines. I love the pink mailbox!


  I picked out a few of my favorite ones to feature. The ones with the little dark haired girls, they remind me of my own darling dark haired daughter.



Some of the valentines have such sweet messages in them….



Come back to me
Send me a line
It's you I want 
My Valentine

Later this week I will be taking off visit my blogging partner daughter in her home town
New York City. That is the best valentines gift of all to be able to send time with Andrea. Hopeful we will be visiting some new places to share with you.

What will you be doing to make your Valentine's Day special?

Did I mention it is also our wedding anniversary on the 14th? So it is a very special day for us.
