Happy Valentine's Day!



Happy Valentine's Day!



Here are some vintage, turn of the century postcard images for you to use...



















Valentine's Day was my Nana's birthday....
...very fitting for such a sweetheart!



My sisters, brother and I were fortunate to have both our grandmothers as an important part of our lives well into adulthood...
...Mildred Grace lived to be a happy and healthy 97 years old.

The portrait above was taken in 1900, when she was just two years old.
Happy Birthday Nana!

...and Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends and family!
:)
To see other participants and their vintage valentines visit Joan at Anything Goes Here

And The Winner Of The 200th Post Give Back Is..........



Thank you for the overwhelming response to my little Give Back! I wish that I could be the personal shopper at the Madison Bouckville Antique Show and flea markets this week for each and every one of you but alas.....I had to pick a name....well, actually I decided to pick 3 names!



The first name picked was.....Lisa from Raleigh, N.C. ! Congratulations Lisa! I see from your blog pupylov that you like elephants! Wow! Please contact me to let me know more about what you would like me to search for....



The second name picked was Sharon from Wildflower House way out in Washington state...Sharon makes crazy quilts and says on her blog that she is always on the lookout for treasure to incorporate into her quilts...Congratulations Sharon!



The third name picked is Zita - Mlle Magpie from Montreal, Canada...Zita's blog says that she likes all things old and shabby......Congratulations Zita!



It has been really fun to read all your comments and see what all my blog friends like to collect....we are such an interesting group, aren't we?



I'm sorry to disappoint so many of you ....I will take as many pictures as possible over the next few days as we head off on our treasure hunt....hopefully you will enjoy seeing the sights ...



I must get ready for the girls now.....still some beds to be made and straightening up to do.....
We will be out and about all day and I want to be fully present for my house guests (not with my nose in my laptop)....So until I get to post again....I wish you all well and thank you again for participating in my Give Back.....but more importantly, I thank you for your kindness and all the support and encouragement you have given me since I began 52 FLEA back in February....
Take care, Laura :)
