Of course, I had to come up with something related to Valentine's Day for today's collection. What better than Valentines? Below is a sampling of a shoe box's worth. The bulk of these have been mine since... do I have to admit... the late 60s and early 70s. A few I have purchased over the years too.
All sorts of themes, shapes, and sizes.
These two are quite large.
I must give credit to my mother for saving these when I was a kid. Sometimes, Mom does know best!
Enjoy!
How wonderful to have a nice collection of Valentines. Have you scanned them so you can print out copies to craft with? I've never found old Valentines in my thrifting...they are true treasures! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, they are so sweet! My favorites are the little mermaid and the parrot. Thank goodness our moms kept things from our childhood, mine kept a lot of my toys and things too :)
ReplyDeleteThe new Valentine cards don't hold a candle to your sweet retro ones!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou just don't see Valentines cards like these anymore.
I Can say... I honestly haven't seen a set of boxed Valentine's day cards I like...in years!
...mother does know best. :)
