Valentine Party with Laurie

Attending Blog Parties is the equivalent

of attending  a high school mixer for me;

a chance to get to meet new people,

and then to get to know them.

Laurie, from

 Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie,

is one such person.

She's hostessing her first blog party this Friday;

A Valentine Party

This will be a grab-bag full of fun!

I'll be showing you a little of my

 Vintage Valentine goodies.

In my kitchen hallway I have a white sideboard

that I change  up seasonally and for each holiday!

This is a vintage cardboard candy box.

I just love the graphic on the front.

"The candy of the South"

And this box is very large.

It may have been Russell Stovers.

Whoever was delivering it must have had to wait

 out in the rain for his sweetheart.

Either that, or she ate them in the shower!

Rose wreath inside my front door...

and a heart shaped topiary on my Dining Room Buffet

My perpetual calendar is ready for the Big Day!

Downstairs I have a "Holiday Cupboard"

that is like the sideboard;

dressed for Valentine's Day!

Lefton Valentine Cherub covered dish.

Cocoa tin.

I love hankies, and these are my Valentines.

Wonderful for a purse or pocket.

And a tiny cross-stitch angel from about 20 years ago.

I will also be participating in

Joan's Valentine Party on Sunday,

so come back then, to see my old framed Valentines.

Have a wonderful Valentine weekend,

And may you "love the one your with"!
