I remember my mother buying those little valentine's cards (the ones from the 50s...really, I'm not quite old enough to remember the Victorian ones!!!) and deciding who would get which one. Thank you for the trip down memory lane! Happy Valentine's Day!!Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115968529368291445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-14894175248335339302012-01-30T00:01:22.411-05:002012-01-30T00:01:22.411-05:00What a lovely display!

I remember we used to call it Friendship Day as well, so that the singles wouldn't be left out, and everybody went home with a small gift.Yanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-75681692480744394882012-01-28T01:02:25.902-05:002012-01-28T01:02:25.902-05:00WE used to make special holders for our Valentines...WE used to make special holders for our Valentines cards, too...sometime a shoebox, sometimes a large folder made with art paper and decorated. We also brought cards for everyone. Precious memories...thanks for inviting us for a peak.

They look so much better than the newer ones, don't they. I don't know whether you do Pinterest, but I have a board on there filled with vintage Christmas cards, and I love them. I really liked the little kissing cupids. How sweet! Gosh, I learnt to type on an old typewriter like that. It was like driving a double decker bus. You had to press down so hard on the keys! Good post my friend. Have a lovely weekend.Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-66273870090098141132012-01-27T11:58:51.480-05:002012-01-27T11:58:51.480-05:00Jane, every kid in America gets at least a sack fu...Jane, every kid in America gets at least a sack full of Valentine cards - we're known for being excessive about things like that. We're also all about roses - the florists have a heyday this time of year.<br /><br />That little rosy cheeked 50's guy and gal are my favorite too. It could be one of Atwell's designs but it's not marked on the card.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894937401369741806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-82907678329419474462012-01-27T11:57:00.660-05:002012-01-27T11:57:00.660-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894937401369741806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-10354904781862727012012-01-27T07:59:44.608-05:002012-01-27T07:59:44.608-05:00Over here Valentines were strictly for secret admi...Over here Valentines were strictly for secret admirers only. (Still wonder about the ones To My Darling Husband or Wife)<br /><br />The old joke (which gets churned out every year - the old ones being the best) is "Why are you late for work today?" "Been busy opening my Valentine Day cards." or "The Postman is late today ... still struggling with the weight of the sack to my door." <br /><br />Yes I know its sad and I'm deluding myself but there you go. <br /><br />Love the Mabel Lucy Atwell style 1950s one!<br /><br />I need to pick your brain about how you make your photo appear accross the top of your page. I want mine to do that and spent ages tryign to make it ... do I have to go into photoshop first to stretch it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-54441697197656378422012-01-26T20:33:59.063-05:002012-01-26T20:33:59.063-05:00Yes, they still do it.

I just retired last year after a career in an Elementary School and they still get just as excited about Valentine's Day cards as they did back then. Of course, over the years, they've become themed and portray whatever is popular among kids. I remember three or four years back, every little girl gave out Hannah Montana Valentine Cards and the boy's Spongebob.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894937401369741806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-18725259808265315262012-01-26T20:05:26.118-05:002012-01-26T20:05:26.118-05:00I remember those school Valentine cards days.
