I adore vintage cards! See my vintage Valentine from last year, here!
ReplyDeleteI remember your vintage Valentines, Monica. ♥♡ A vintage soul myself, so like the ones I sent out in grade school :)
ReplyDeletehope you are having a great valentine's day...what a great day to share love so openly.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, Joey! I love these vintage Valentine's... and am lucky enough to have one that my grandfather gave to my grandfather early in their courtship. Not quite as vintage as these, but beautiful nonetheless. Since you are a vintage soul, I will try to post it for you... :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, but beautiful when enlarged.
ReplyDeleteAm I right in remembering that you had the wonderful collection of vintage valentines?
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day!

Hi Joey, Hopefully someone is cooking up something special for YOU today! Happy Valentine's Day! :-)
ReplyDeleteGee thanks, Marmee. Today was as good as it gets as I hope yours was. The afternoon performance, A Song for Haiti, was awesome. Our youngest son's friend is an amazing young man (consider him our son as well) who jumped on the bandwagon and headed to Haiti (also spent a stink there after graduating from Boston Collage). His mother ( and sister) are renowned opera divas :) and the list of musicians/voices today were tearfully impressive. Romantic dinner tonight was frosting on the day's cake :)
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful, dear Kim. Though I'm definitely 'vintage' compared to you, I think we are both 'old souls'! Valentine ((Hugs)).
Thanks, iMac ... I just converted from a PC to my wireless iMac, stunned at the graphics. Though at times frustrated at the learning curve, I'm having a 'happening' ball.
Indeed I do, Jen! I'm impressed with your sharp memory, probably why you have such a focused eye :) ♥
Oh yes, dear Shady. I've trained Mr. Ho-Hum well (grilled herbed lamb chops, fresh asparagus, sweet potato and bottle of 1998 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru). I'm a happy camper as I hope you are :)
What glorious vintage valentine's cards - they're lovely!
ReplyDeleteHimself remembered!!! (I suspect some prompting from the Gnomelets, but hey - I got a lovely card and local handmade chocolates - heaven!)
Dear Joey, What lovely old cards - such fun! To make sure that I do not miss your postings I have added myself as a 'Follower'.
ReplyDeleteLooking at all the vintage v-day cards reminds me that yesterday my grandson asked why there was always a naked, chubby boy baby with a bow & arrow on on v-day decorations.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are wanting to visit the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village.

I told you Himself wouldn't forget, Nutty :) Glad your day was heavenly!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Edith. Delighted to connect (I am a follower of you as well).
Cute Donna, I've often wondered about Cupid myself :)Trust me, you will not be disappointed visiting either Greenfield Village or the Henry Ford Museum, which reminds me I have hot been there in quite some time either. Time to take the grandboys!
Joey, Another jewel of a montage!! I love the cupid with the band-aids heart! A sweet metaphor! Hope you had a lovely day of love! May all your days be love-filled! ;>)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful collection of vintage Valentine's Day cards. I love that second one.
ReplyDeleteMarnie
Lovely vintage art. Hope your day was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol ... mending the broken heart is my favorite! Indeed, my day was lovely as I hope your was.
ReplyDeleteAs you well know, Marnie, clicking on photo will enlarge so you can see it better. February is over 1/2 over ... another day closer to spring :)
Indeed V-day was wonderful, Meredith. Sounds like yours was also :)
