A few of my vintage Valentines


Today I thought I would just take a minute to share a few of my vintage Valentine cards with all of you.  Many of these may have been shared before, but new readers visit all the time and so I will take the liberty of posting these Valentines again.

  3. These are so cute, Mrs. T! I think the flocked heart with the glitter would appeal to me as well. Love the soft colours! The others remind me of those I used to find in my mailbox at school as a young girl. Thanks for sharing all this cuteness and Happy Valentine's Day weekend!

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    1. Yes, I love the soft colors of that one too. It's easily my favorite.

      I think probably most of the others actually were ones from my childhood. Remember Valentine boxes? I assume you had those in Canada as well. I remember wrapping a box in tissue paper and decorating it to hold all those valentines from my elementary school classmates!

      Have a wonderful Valentine's weekend!

    1. You are welcome, Pam! I don't have the collection that you do, but I have just sort of acquired my vintage cards in cleaning at my parents' home and in old cards people have passed on to me.
