My vintage Valentine collection is all from my Grandmom. She saved everything, and I am happy to share some of her memories with you.
This is the first Valentine card my Grandmom gave to my Grandfather in 1946. It's hard to see in the picture, but the center is sort of a puffy satin pillow.
The inside of the card. "All my love belongs to you" Wow. You go Grandmom!!
A page from Grandmom's scrapbook. She even kept a napkin from a Valentine dinner, and the label from the hairbrush Grandad gave her as part of her Valentine gift.
My Mom's first Valentine card
A card to my Great Grandmother from my Mom- 1948
Your valentines are all so sweet, especially since they're family keepsakes too! I like that your Grandmom was sentimental, and kept things like the napkin. I do things like that too! I think my favorite is the elephant with the pink hearts!
