Vintage Valentine Postcard Love

I love Postcards, new or vintage and there's something a little extra special about Holiday cards to me.  Since Valentine's Day is the next big "holiday", I thought I'd share a vintage Valentine's Day card or two.

Love Offering To My Valentine-Vintage Valentine Postcard 1911
Love Offering To My Valentine
Most of this card is embossed, such lovely detailing.

Loves Greetings-Vintage Valentine Postcard
Loves Greetings
Often cards don't make it through 100 or so years without showing signs of wear but it doesn't detract from the beauty to me.  I love the letter and heart shaped mailbox.

Do you like/have/collect vintage cards too?

A Little of This, A Little of That

Mail is fantastic when it's full of this and that...art, holiday's, landscapes...a lovely mail day indeed!  I hope your mailbox brought you happiness and smiles today too!
