REDNESDAY



This is my newest Valentine planter, found at an antique store. It's proof that if you wait, the things you want will come to you, at your price. She's not in the best shape, and that's the only way I was able to afford her!

This is a valentine that my parents gave me when I was a little girl. Yes, the hoarding started at a young age!

A little card from my aunt and uncle.

I recently bought this one at an antique store, and it reminds me of Holly, who likes all things cute and fluffy!

But this is one of my most priceless cards!

I'll be sad to pack away all of this red stuff after Valentine's Day! What's next? Oh yeah, St. Patrick's Day, with all of it's greenery. I think I need to do some red shoppin'!

    Just love your blog and your treasures.....so cute! I was cleaning this weekend and going through some things and found a valentine that my dad had sent to my mom back in the late 40's before they married while he was away in the military....my mom has since passed away, so it was such a treasure to find. I plan on doing a post on it this week!

    I love your new little planter...never really looked for anything like this!

    And your own vintage valentines, how I wish I'd saved a few of my own. Although, now that I think about it there may be a few in my baby book, hmmmmm.

    Yes...that little fluffy does remind me of Holly!

    Peeking in today before I head out the door to the Fairyland shop.

    So excited, I had a MAN customer yesterday that bought for his wife and daughter. My first! I could have kissed the guy!

    Carol,
    I just went out with my friend Meri for my birthday and we stopped at Goodwill, I was looking for old tulip sundae glasses, found them! And right before I got to the tablecloths, Meri got there and snagged the cutest VINTAGE Christmas table cloth for 4.00 !!!!! LOL I love the planter, she is so cute and red and pink! :):) Sandy
