Vintage Valentine Card Party!

Welcome to The Vintage Valentine Card Party
hosted by Joan from Anything Goes Here.
Thank you Joan for hosting this sweet party!
Be sure to check out the list of participants!


When we cleared out the farm there were boxes
of papers and cards from my Grandmother
that my Dad had saved.
Also some cards from my Mother.
It was fun going through all of them.
Here are some of the Valentine's I found...

Postcards were so big back in those days.






One of my favs



Gotta love this one!


I think these are from my Sister's era



Our 15 year old cat, Baylee, insisted on helping ~


On this one the little Engineer moves



To see more be sure to check out all the participants
over at Joan's Party!

Wishing everyone a Wonderful Weekend
and The Happiest Valentine's Day!

    Best wishes for Valentin´s day from me to you!
    And so many nice cards. In Norway celebrating Valentin´s day is quite new and the cardsending has no tradition.
    Strange, thinking of Valentin who was an Italien... and the custom comes to us from USA!
