Looking for Vintage Valentine Cards and Ephemera

I can't believe it is that time of year already! Time to bring out hearts in pink and red. I'm still putting away Christmas! Seriously.

 

While this elusive thing called time is whizzing past me... I am taking a quick look at my shops to see what I already have in place for Valentine's Day.

I'm also looking for things to decorate a tablescape that I have started. Note the word, STARTED.

Oh yes. These will do nicely.

Already for sale in my ephemera

category. The great thing is, if they

don't sell, I get to use them!

A win/win!

 

 

This one is unique as it has a sweet "locket"

and a poem on the inside about it.

Vintage and still unused, in my shop here.

 

 

Now this one above.... this style is my favorite.

The three dimensional "Pop Up" card, available

here. But if it is still around to use...

it would make a great centerpiece or

part of a centerpiece display.

 

 

Mechanical Valentines are also cool!

 

 

 

If you'll notice here the eyes go from

the right side to the left

by swinging the arm a little.

 

Admit it.

The little kid in you wants to try it!

 

 

This one has such an

eye catching red...

What are those

little cupids up to?

 

 

And this one is a pop up

AND it is was made in Germany.

 

You'll have to stop back again

next week to see how I

incorporated them into

my Valentine tablescape.

With vintage paper goods,
red candles leftover from
Christmas and some other
goodies, I'm all set!
Oh and make sure to eat
all of the green foil covered
Hershey kisses from Christmas,
 because then you'll be left
 with silver and red.
 

For now, enjoy the day!
