Vintage Valentine Card Party

Another Valentine Party! All of the images that follow in this post were post cards collected by my husband's Grandmother, Lucile Amelia Mathilda Johnson, as a small girl. For some wonderful reason, which remains unknown to me, I inherited her post card collection~! Don't you think for a minute that I'm complaining!

I most decidedly am not! I am bragging, pure and simple.

This little fellow is attributed to Ellen H. Clapsaddle, artist. Originally posted in Topeka, Kansas ~ February 14, 1917 . . . the message on the back, in childish penmanship reads;

"I kept my promise didn't I? Will write a letter sometime soon . . . Lots of Love, Pearl."

Posted from Wichita, Kansas
February 14, 1910
Reads;
"Hello Lucile ~
I sent you a Valentine yesterday, and I suppose you have it by this time. Let me hear from you.~ Bro. Ed"

Note only says,
"Wichita, Kansas
2-13-08
E."

February 14, 1908

This Lovey came from

Aunts Minnie and Rose Rapp

February 13, 1912 {I think . . . hard to tell}

And opens to reveal . . .

the sweetest abundance of three dimensional Victorian scrap

and the message,

Pretty One,

I hope you know,

This is from

Your little "Beau"

Happy Valentine's Day!
