Red Hot and Vintage


I have a bucket of red hot hearts



and a Vintage Valentine for you.



This vintage Valentine was sent to my Mother-in-Law when she was
only 11 years old. Without giving away her age, I will tell
you that it is very vintage.

I am joining
and

Bentley ~ I have a Valentine for you too!!

Love,
Susan and Bentley

    How cool is that. I remember making Valentines Day cards when I was in elementary school. Now-a-days we just buy them in bulk. They mean so much more when they are homemade.

    The cards are nice today, but seems to me the older ones just had more character to them. This one is a real keeper.
