I have so many wonderful memories of Valentine's Day like school parties with pretty paper Valentine napkins.
crystal candy dishes filled with candy red hots
I remember when we would use pretty tissue paper
& paper doilies
& pretty trims
To make beautiful valentines.
On Valentines I remember red glittered hearts
Romantic vintage images
Chocolate hearts
heart shaped tins filled with valentine candy
and even more valentine candy
and sugary sweet lip gloss to kiss my sweetheart
I remember making thumbprint cookies with red jelly
I always loved valentine picture frames & roses
Valentine linens
Heart shaped dishes and baskets and red ribbons
I received a big box on Saturday
(I think God knew I could really use a treat that day)
I carefully opened it up and guess what was in it.
All the things I think of when I think of Valentines Day.
Thank you to Mary for my Very Vintage Valentine Swap
And a big thank you to Heidi Ann at Foxgloves Fabric, & Folly for hosting the swap

What a wonderful post, filled with beautiful things. I loved seeing everything, I know you are soooo happy with your gift. I am really enjoying seeing all the Valentine's Day goodies on so many blogs.
Hi Debbie~
I loved your blog, I found you through another blog and saw you are a Texas girl. I am too, I came from a little town not far from you. Vernon. My dad fished at Lake Kemp in the summers. Brings back lots of memories. I'm in Fort Worth now and love it.
Hope you will stop by and see me for a visit. I would love to have you drop in.
Smiles,
Pat

Valentines is a special holiday for me... I remember as a child, making that silly battered shoe box into the most beautiful Valentine card box for school. ahhh, the memories!
