Vintage Valentines


While enjoying vintage cards is joy unto itself due the incredible art they provide. It means so much to hold in your hand a sentiment from a by-gone age. It seems to give you a connection and allows your mind to picture a romantic scene playing out when the intended received the card either by mail or by hand. Holding one that has a relatives name on it with a date opens not only the imagination but links you to a part of your relatives' life before you. Sometimes the names are sweetly endearing knowing that was from your uncle to your aunt or your grandmother from your grandfather; but occasionally there is a mystery. Who is this gentleman writing musings of love to your grandmother? Was she a heart breaker? Did your grandfather steal her heart from another? As we go through our found box of missives, we are enjoying the time travel to our families past romantic side.
