This week, I want to share some more of my vintage Valentine's Day items that I think are so sweet. I picked up this Valentines planter at an estate sale last summer. I love the heart shape and the cupids.


Can you just imagine a beautiful bunch of flowers being delivered in this cute little planter? I think carnations or roses would look so cute! But I am partial to carnations and think those would have looked best! The bottom has a silver and black sticker that says B\R made in Japan.


Last week, you may recall some of my valentines from my childhood I posted and wrote about. This week I want to show you a couple more I found. These two are from my mom and my grandparents. Notice the style of dress the young girl is sporting....does this not scream 70's to you?



Here is the inside of the card from my grandparents. I got tickled at this when I looked at it. I know my grandmother signed the card, and at first glance, you would think she had my grandfather sign the card too, notice the different color ink...but when I looked more closely, I am almost certain, she signed his name instead of my papaw signing the card. That just struck me as a funny thing that I know as a child I never noticed! My memaw has been gone for 21 years and I miss her desperately, but she is still bringing a smile to my heart...and it just does not get any better than that.


Lastly, I want to share a few of the vintage Avon pins I have. My mom was an Avon representative when we were younger and she always gave us pins on special occasions. These very well could have been a gift at Valentines. These date back to the early 70's. Some of them still have the fragrance inside. I have several of these, but these are the one's I think are so cute.

Notice the little pink dish? I purchased that at an estate sale for 15 cents. It has a few little spots that almost look like rust spots, but I thought it was still very cute. I really like the floral design.

I hope you enjoyed looking at these little Valentine inspired items this week. Have a great week everyone and I will look forward to visiting you and looking at all of your vintage treasures. See ya' next week.
