Vintage Valentines for the Thursday before Valentines Day
I have a great many Valentines, but these are my favorites.
They were my Grandmother's and the notes are handwritten by her.
I wanted to find a picture of Chester, but now I have a genealogy
mystery to solve? He died at age 20 and was in WWI per his tombstone.
But I can not find any document that he was in the service?
Guess when I get back to 1515 I will have to read Aunt Annie's
diary to see his fate?

What a wonderful collection! My grandmother didn't save sentimental items. When she was in her 20s in Victorian England she became a nurse which prompted her to get rid of a lock of her sweetheart's (my grandfather's) hair as being unsanitary! You have a treasure!
Cheers!

These are beautiful!! What a treasure to have! Happy VTT
what a wonderful gift for yourself, I love the 'old' handwriting after our loved ones leave that is all we have, just a whiff of a memory and writing.
What sweet old valentines! Don't you love how elaborate they once were? So nice that you still have these.
Your vintage valentines are especially wonderful Ann!

Ann, These are beautiful..I was just posting on Home Seet Home that no matter how many Valentine's
I have, I'm still jelous over all these beauties...I'm hoplessly
selfish...
They are terrific family treasures. So glad you have them still:)
These are wonderful vintage treasures. I have a few things of my grandmothers, and I would not take the world for them.
Those are wonderful heirlooms. They bring your ancestors to life.
What wonderful treasures! The Valentines themselves are gorgeous but so much more special because they belonged to your grandma. Thanks for stopping by my blog, Nan
Beautiful collection and with your grandmother's writing, what a treasure!
I have a postcard with the same picture of the little boy that is on your first card. It is one of the Whitney Valentine postcards that I used in the "Little Sweethearts Vintage Valentine Postcards" video that I made a few days ago and posted on YouTube. I was amused that the boy on your card wanted a "little sweetheart."
