vintage valentines




I absolutely love vintage Valentine's.  I started collecting them a long time ago when I found a bag full at an antique store.  They have multiplied and now I have a lot.  Last summer I went to an estate sale (it was straight out of the Brady Bunch) and got big bags full for $5.  




I copy them and use them for all kinds of cute projects.  Above is a Valentine banner that I made for my girlfriends last year.


I color copy them so I don't have to wreck them.  Below is a collage of them attached to a foam core heart.  Cute!  xoxo  Jenni
