Loving Greeting

Two doves surround a barefoot angel carrying a satchel filled with valentines and a sprig of forget-me-not blossoms. Standing in a pastoral setting, the angel holds a yellow envelope with red sealing wax. Forget-me-nots are scattered on the ground around the angel and an urn holding large pink roses sits on a brick wall behind her.

Welcome to Vintage Valentines

We have a collection of vintage valentines. My plan is to post them as we approach Valentine's Day. These cards are part of a collection sent to my grandmother and her sister when they were little girls. One is addressed to "Baby Edna." Dates on the post marks are from 1910 and 1911. Some of the addresses are wonderfully sweet. These were sent at a time when one only had to write "City" or "Local" and the post office knew that meant Columbus!
