Red is for Valentine's Day

I don't know about most of you, but don't you miss those Valentine's parties from elementary school?  Decorating a bag or a box with red hearts, paper doilies and glitter.  Lots and lots of glitter.  And glue.  Martha Stewart would be so proud.

























You of course, got a list from the teacher so that you didn't forget even one classmate.  A Valentine for everyone... without the stress.  The expectations, dreams and hopes that come later...

















No flowers from boys...



































No sweets from a sweet either.























Just a fun little paper Valentine. 


So here, a little early, is a vintage Valentine from me to you. 















Have fun figuring it out~

Happy early Valentines Day,

  2. Somewhere tucked away I have a valentine and a little hankerchief from a school party years ago. I hope I can find it to post it one day. I still remember the boy's name that gave it to me and this was about 65 years ago.
    I love the vintage valentine.

  4. My parents always bought me the little box of assorted valentines to share with classmates. I had a crush on a certain boy from 4th to 6th grade; so I always tried to give him the 'best' valentine from my packet. And of course there were the little candies with the messages...you were left wondering if that cute boy really meant to give you one that says 'LUV U'...

  8. Valentine at school was always one of my favorite times. We made our cards, no money. The girls would try to see how many got the most from boys.

  9. Valentine's day at school was always so much fun! I would be thrilled when my Mom would take us to the store to select our box of Valentines. I remember making the large heart-shaped envelope out of red craft paper and doilies and excitedly going through it at the end of the day, looking at all the wee cards that were deposited in it! Those were the days! Now I'm going to figure out your Valentine to us!

  10. I have such wonderful memories of those years of choosing the right valentine for the right person, and hoping that the one I got from the boy I liked was a very special one! I remember one year, he actually hung a necklace on my doorknob, knocked on the door and ran away!
    Happy REDnesday!

  13. Oh Chris YES--I absolutely loved the Valentine’s Day party. We would make a big heart folder or a tissue box covered in pretty paper and hearts to put them all in. I always thought the classroom looked so pretty in all the red and pink. I loved each card I got--they were so cute and fun. What wonderful memories. Thank you for that today :)
    Hugs, Amy
