Love Thursday : Victorian Love
I am addicted to sweet little Victorian Valentine Cards.
I love to frame them, collect them, send them.
I love the sweet little sayings, the raised designs and the delicate paper they were printed on.
I love the vibrant colors; red, green, French blue, antique white and gold.
I love the cherubs with rosy cheeks and lips so red and pouty, you could almost kiss them.
I love bouquets so real you can almost smell them.
I love all the old-fashioned over the top Victorian clothes.
What’s not to love?
I found a box of these little cuties at the flea market and just couldn’t resist. I couldn’t possibly keep them all, so I decided to share the love.
These beauties are up for grabs in my flea market. Maybe the post should read Love For Sale.
Or maybe that is another kinda post entirely!?
If you are interested, please go to my flea market, where you can scroll down and click on the individual cards to get a closer look, a detailed description or to purchase.
Which one is your favorite?
Happy Love Thursday everyone!

A few years back I opened a box that I had been moving around for years and discovered a treasure trove of cards that belonged to my dad when he was a kid and they are similar to yours. Most of them are Valentines and they are precious.

Joanne~ That is the best one. Cutest, best colors and a tiny little flap on the side- I haven’t seen one like it-ever
What wonderful family momento’s!!
Janie~ Oh my. Not only would I have loved them because they are so pretty- but being that they were your Dad’s- all the more special
