As many of you know, my Mother died last April 26th. I am still not over it. I found these wonderful Valentines in her things. They are written to her from her friends in Canada that she went to school with. I think they are just charming and it makes me happy to know she kept them as she kept very little in the way of things like this. I hope you enjoy these as Much as I have. Do have a lovely day on Valentine's and if no one tells you "I wish you a lovely day and a lovely year in every thing you do." "For YOU are worth wishing nice things upon."

These are most probably from the 1920's. I think the innocence and sweetness of these are wonderful. I would welcome some innocence back into our culture, wouldn't you?

These are sweet. Thanks for sharing them... very special. Isn't it amazing how well the 3-D honeycomb paper parts have held up? Keeping paper things for a long time is not always so easy...the environment takes a toll in drying them out and making them fragile, to say nothing of a pesky silverfish or other varmint looking for a tasty morsel. How did she store these?
My Mother had the Valentines in a little paper bag that was well worn and they were folded neatly in there in one of her drawers in the bedroom. I doubt they saw the light of day for years. She probably forgot that she had them.
