Vintage Valentine Cards

With Valentine's Day approaching I find myself getting excited about the CARDS!

Silly I know,

but it just brings out the kid in me.

I remember the excitement of preparing cards for my friends and passing them out. 
The bright colors and cheerful sayings were always such fun.

These days I enjoy collecting them.

It's a  small collection that seems to grow a little each year. 
Each new cherished find brings a smile to my face.

Here are a few of my favorites from last year.






This one is my all time favorite.


Doesn't she just make you smile!

Now if you haven't hear A Very Merry Vintage Style is having a party. 
You can show off your favorite Valentine Cards and images so head on over and join in the fun.

    Your vintage valentines are adorable. I'm going to have to go through my old cards from my grandma. You helped remind me of them and they would make such a great display! Now I'm inspired! Hope you have a great day!

    I regret not keeping some of mine. When you are young things like this are not on your mind. I looked forward to going to school and seeing how many cards I would get. Fun times.
