Yay! It's "Show and Tell Friday!" I hope you've all had a fantastic week!
Today, I'd like to share the Valentine I received from my Daddy this year. It was made in Germany, and I'm guessing it is from around the 20's. The vibrant colors are so spectacular! Many times these old valentines become so faded - particularly the honeycombs. Everything about this valentine is wonderful. I just love it!
For as long as I can remember, I have always been my Daddy's Valentine. Every year without fail, he has given me a special box of chocolate from our favorite local confectionery. Well.... last year the shop closed - which was such a bummer! And, since not just any box of chocolate will do.... he decided to start a new tradition by giving me an old valentine to add to my collection. This is such a special valentine keepsake which I will cherish forever. I love my Daddy - he's the best! Please visit Kelli There is no place like home to check out more "show and tells!"
O! how stunning yes the colour is so bright and not at all aged.
ReplyDeleteYour dad is something very special that is for sure. My dad has been gone now for 5 years but it is always as if he is here with us the memories are so strong.
You are truly blessed, thanks for visitng my show & tell today.

Hi Karoline, what a gorgeous Valentine and a treasure for sure! I think I'd leave it out year round.
ReplyDeleteI got your box today--wow! I was expecting an envelope! LOL! I hope I can wait til Valentine's day to open it, but I can't promise! This was the first day due to snow that I was able to get to the PO since Mon or Tues, so it may have arrived earlier. Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks for sharing your valentine with us. Your dad rocks in my book. Anyone who would give a vintage valentine is awesome! How funny that we bought the same fabric. You do need to show more of your finds. I love seeing what everyone else finds.
