It's time for Hearts!
When I found this ole Valentine....what I thought was so beautiful was it was to her Papa. From Viola 1917....Sweet! The ribbon is still really red, so it has been kept very well. I collected post cards when I was in the business of buy & selling Antiques and collectables. I did it when I lived in Southern California, I should have stayed with it, but sometimes life gets in the way. Idaho didn't offer the outlet I had in California. So I have some things I kept, it reminds me of the fun of the find...and that people would buy what I found.

Do you know, I love the name "Viola"? That card is just super, especially with the old ribbon. My grandmother had a best friend name "Viola". I just saw a flash of her face...such a nice lady.I'll have to name one of my puppies that this spring! Hugs..
What a beautiful old treasure. I think cards from long ago are so much nicer then ones today. I'm amazed the ribbon is still intact and still red! And the message is so sweet....simple but sweet.
I also love the Valentine post card
-- I agree with Betzie and Janet -
the colors of red are so vivid.
Card date is 1917 - My Mom Mary was B. 1915 - 2002.
I save lots of things.
Books, letters, Photos, You name it ! I got it !
Vacationing in Kentucky abt. 35 yrs. ago - Abe Lincolns cabin -
I took a piece abt. 3 in. long and an inch wide (now I feel shamed for doing that).
But over the yrs. I lost track of it - my punishment for taking it.
It was very weathered and made me love it even more.
Blogging is totally new to me.
