Those flowers, are they from DCWV papers? I think I have those...they're so bright & cheery!

Yep! They are DCWV! I bought an 8x8 stack and have used a ton of it. Now I have just odds and ends left!

Here's my vintage style card. The picture I used is a scan of an actual postcard Valentine to one of my uncles. It was evidently hand delivered as there is no postmark or anything. It's possible that it was a school or church valentine exchange as there is another one with another Uncle's name from the same person. Just his name and the name of the "giver". I'm guessing these were from sometime in the early 1920s or so. On the back the word "postcard" is printed up in the corner in 17 different languages! These are in my grandmother's postcard album that I have possession of. I used another postcard from this album for my family Christmas cards a couple of years ago. Hope you like it. ~Bev~

Vey pretty Bev~!! I love the true romance of old postcards and valentines...there is a sweet innocence about vintage images? And i love the story about where it came from. I am enjoying all the personal details, you are all including, for this challenge, as we learn much about each other's lives, and experiences. sue

Ladies, all your vintage cards are fabulous! Bev, I love your vintage postcard Valentine. I have collected postcards for many many years and you actually just gave me a great idea...a postcard album!! I've had them all in a box for 30+ years.
Sue, I'm gonna try to get something posted for this challenge...I love the vintage look!

Oh! No! I just wrote you a LONG post and when I hit the submit button, POOF! It was gone! You'd think I'd know by now to copy before I hit that darn button! I'll try again, later, 'cause I have to go now! ~Bev~

heh..they just don't make appliances that last like they used to!! A few years ago, my washer and dryer were "Harvest Gold"????? I actually liked that color too! lol..sue

Funny.... my kitchen is harvest yellow... I bought the rotary wall phone too....love it.

[Wilbur_Traci]

Well...I'm not sure if this is technially 'vintage' but it certainly is 'retro'!

Enjoy!

P.S. That's my new cookie jar in the background. Got it today!
