Cute Old Valentines

I don't have many items to put out for Valentines Day, but my kitchen has lots of red in it all the time, so I guess that counts for something!  I've been seeing lots of Valentine posts of cute displays, well, I've already shared that other years and this year not much has changed at my place!  But, I have been collecting up a few vintage Valentines, so thought I'd share a few of my favourites with you.  


Printed in Germany - to Norbert



To Roland, from Anita


From Patricia Ryan


To Helen, From Ruth Jelen


These two were unused


1st Grade, Mary from Aunt Cleo & Uncle George


To Kay, from Reva - 1949


This one is a mechanical Valentine - to Roland from Wilma - made in Germany


These two Baby's First Valentines were given to me on my first Valentines Day - quite a few years ago!!!



I share this beautiful old honeycomb Valentine every year, because it's just the prettiest and definitely, the nicest thing I have.   It's also German made, an older lady gave it to me, it came from her family, so I know it's old.  I put it out every year.


Just in case you're interested, here are my Valentine posts from last year - here and here.


It's a red post, so I have to link up with Rednesday, also We Call it Junkin and Thriftasaurus - head on over and check them out.

  13. Love them all, Jill, but my faves have to be the amazing honeycomb and the one with the blue lady lamp with her long eyelashes, she's so unique. I love how you shared what was written in each one, too. Thank you for sharing this at my History & Home link party this week, take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
