Wishing You a Happy Valentine's Day

A few years ago I found a bag of vintage Valentine cards at the Peddler's Mall in Campbellsville, Kentucky.  When I got them home, I realized that they were all for Mrs. Howell.  Evidently all the students gave Mrs. Howell a Valentine.  Many were teacher Valentines but these two were generic.

I hope each of you has a wonderful day filled with chocolate, flowers, and LOVE!  Enjoy the day.

It's February

Thought you might enjoy some vintage Valentines.  Not sure where they all came from.  Some are from my collection.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

Fabric Valentines

These are two of the Fabric Valentines that I made for friends.  The vintage Valentines are copies from my collection.  They were printed onto fabric and fused to the fabric heart.  I used Peltex as the batting on these Valentines.  Edges were finished with a satin stitch and a narrow silver trim was sewn inside the satin stitch. 

Happy Pink Saturday

A Valentine for Teacher

Don't you just love these little vintage Valentines.  I found them in at a Flea Market.  They were from Mrs. Howell's class and were  in a plastic bag.  The bag included one signed by Mrs. Howell and 23 Valentines from students. 

Today I am sharing some of the Pink ones.  These cards are signed by Randall, James, Judy, Bobby, and Kathy.   They bring back memories of grade school days and exchanging Valentines.  It was so much fun to complete the little envelopes and sign my name on the back of each card.  I can remember reading the sentiments to make sure that everyone got the perfect card.  I'm sure Randall, James, Judy, Bobby, and Kathy did the same thing. 

Wish I had kept at least one of those wonderful boxes my mom helped me make from a shoe box.  Wonder if students still make boxes and exchange Valentines?  Hope you have similar pleasant memories of Valentine Days past.
