~ ST.VALENTINES FANCY CARDS~

St.Valentines Day just around the corner. I decided to bring out our collection of Victorian 3-D cards. You can still find these wonderful cards at various antique shops and flea markets.










These were all made in Germany and date from 189Os-1915.










The ship and the little cherub riding the bike are my favorites. And I guess the fan, also. Lol










I also decided to use a couple of our rose oil painting's as a back drop for the vignettes of cards.
















Theses lovey German die cuts on the fan are decorated with beautiful Victorian women and some pretty cool little heart faces.










This little guy standing is on carriage full of flowers, being pulled by two sweet turtle doves. What a beautiful card!




This little guy is taking a cart full of flowers to his little sweet heart. He is a busy little man. lol
And the card on the bottom has a little sister and brother with a dove cote full on doves in it. With some vintage heart shaped cookie cutters.










Thanks for stopping by today, and checking out our cards! For me Valentines comes everyday as I look in our cabinet where these wonderful cards are displayed through out the year for me to remember LOVE comes everyday. I would like to wish you and your love ones a "Happy Valentines Day"..............TALLULAH
