More Vintage Valentines!

Vintage valentines displayed on a pretty pink birdcage.




Random Vintage Valentine Sentiment:

No one else means much to me,
It's yours alone I want to be.

Romantic Handkerchiefs



Okay, I have a LOT of vintage handkerchiefs. I have pulled out a few of the reds and pinks to share with you.


Random Vintage Valentine Sentiment:

Your voice is like a singing bird,
Sweetest thing I ever heard.

Vintage Red Wool Pincushion Heart




This design is so charming and so current, it's hard to believe that it is vintage!

I made my own version of a stuffed wool heart...



It was a kit from Bird Brain Design. Easy!

Random Vintage Valentine Sentiment:

You really are so very sweet,
So charming and so clever,
I hope you'll be my Valentine
And love me just forever.

A Gift from Grandma Moe



My precious grandmother (now in heaven) gave me this little cup. She told me it was her "hot chocolate cup" when she was a little girl.

Vintage Valentine Sentiment:

Just a little sunshine,
Just a little yearning,
Just a little heart-throb
Once again returning;
Just a spark of memory,
Just a rosy ember,
Just a little greeting
Saying..."I remember."

Vintage Rose Tablecloths


Just another vintage collection. So sweet!



Random Vintage Valentine Sentiment:

Maybe you are bashful
But it's the proper day,
To say you'll be my Valentine
And turn your face this way.

Valentine Candy for Stitchers

Over a hundred spools of vintage Belding Corticelli Silk Buttonhole Twist!





Random Vintage Valentine Sentiment:

I am sure that you will be
Safe right from the start,
If you will be my Valentine,
And let me have your heart.

Vintage Heart Pincushions



A little vintage inspiration for Valentine's Day!




Random Vintage Valentine Sentiment:

Though, dear one, thou be far away,
And space forbid our meeting,
Yet in this joyous happy day,
receive my loving greeting.

Vintage Inspiration - Crazy-Quilt Blocks



It's hard for me to resist picking up examples of vintage handwork in the antique stores. I wonder, "What was she going to make with this?" and "Why didn't she finish?" These two rather large crazy-quilt squares (Can you see that there are two squares? They are overlapping in the photo.) were asking to be made up into this bag.

A great vintage shift, from the 60's or 70's. All linen. Love it!

Vintage Inspiration

I love this BH&G cover. The colors and the mood are wonderful, aren't they? January looks nothing like this in Scottsdale, AZ...
