I've been waiting for today for weeks...
Since Joan at Anything Goes Here
announced her Vintage Valentine Party!
I've sneaked in some Valentine photos
this last week or so,
hope your not tired of all the "love",
and some of the same photos.
As my kitties like to say;
Valentines, Schmalentines.
I'm also linking with Beth
to be a part of her monthly party,
Silver Sunday
(can't miss that!)
(can't miss that!)
So I'm including some of my Vintage Valentines
on a large footed silver tray on my
Dining Room buffet,
where all things "holiday" seem to land.
This is a silver necklace that my sweet mom
bought me for Valentines Day this year.
Love the initial and the crown on top.
And a silver bud vase with faux roses.
I found this intricate large Valentine
this summer in St. Louis.
It's supposed to be 3-D,
but I wanted to display it in an old
ornate frame I had been saving.
Here are a few of my vintage Valentine postcards.
The cutie boy here reminds me of my nephew Spence.
(tulips from my sweet sister)
My entry way dresser is holding
another smaller 3-D valentine.
And the pink Hull vase was
a Valentine to myself this year.
And here is my sideboard again,
with another Valentine and
some altered children's Valentines
that I have been playing with.
This framed simple Valentine is an
original from my paternal Grandfather
to my Grandmother, from the early 1920's.
He owned a print shop and this is another of his pieces.
to my Grandmother's Birthday Party.
Have a Sweet and Cozy Valentine Weekend,
Hugs and Love,
Debra
p.s. Thank you all for your sweet comments!
I seem to be having a "time management" issue with
preparing for the new booth opening.
Please just know I love you all and that
each and every comment
blesses me.
Hi Debra! I love it all but my FAVORITE is the white fram with the pink mat. LOVE it! Enjoy your Valentine's Day and we know you love us! It seems a lot of bloggers are having time issues and that is understandable. Lots going on:) Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteDebra your romantic Valentine's vignettes are sweeter than sweet ... I love how you have individually framed the cards and your artwork, they are so well deserving of their very own frame! Just regal, each one ... and to see a fresh tulip is the best surprise of all, I also like the ivy topiary, roses, and hydrangeas ... a touch of nature is lovely!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy Valentine's weekend ..
