Valentine's Day was always such a fun day. I liked it when I was in school. I loved it when my children were little and it was one of my favorite holidays when I taught. The simple uncomplicated nature of Valentine's Day after all the busyness and stress of Christmas is fun, festive and refreshing. The decor is whimsical.
Vintage Valentines exude the whimsy that I love.
I'm so glad that Amber at Follow The Yellow Brick Home put this hop together.

My grandmother kept her extensive collection of postcards. They are now about 100 years old.
This antique car full of flowers is a postcard that was tucked away in an album that I thought was empty.
What a fun surprise.
These with glitter and embossing are extra special. The colors!
I found some from a later era. These smaller Valentines were at my favorite craft mall.
It's amazing that these have survived.

We only have one vintage figurine. It was a $3.00 find at the Methodist thrift store. It's so cute!
This snowman is not vintage but he's vintage inspired. It was actually a Christmas figurine that got a Valentine's Day makeover.
Vintage inspired hearts are a constant staple around here.
I embellished a little muslin heart with part of a collar of an old sweet dress. The dress itself couldn't be saved but the embroidery on it was precious.
Believe it or not, the glass heart vase came from Dollar Tree. It's filled with some spring flowers.
The framed art is actually a gift bag. It's my new cheap way to get seasonal art.
Hearts with vintage keys are always fun.
Just last week I found a little packet of Valentines at the booth of my favorite crafter.
This cutie was in the batch.
The rest are sitting in a little heart basket for perusal.
Thank you, Amber. This is such a fun hop idea. Be sure to stop in and see Judith at Botanic Bleu. She always has something French inspired.
Be sure to visit the other bloggers. You won't want to miss a single stop.
