I'm not tea-sing either—I adore this coy little Valentine teapot! Her saucy expression is quite charming, don't you think?
Now why do you suppose this one says "Connie" and "Gail" on the back? Was it given by both of them? Are they the grown-ups who gave this to a child, perhaps a student? I always, always wonder about the stories behind these Valentines!
One thing I don't wonder about is a love for old linens, which many of us seem to share on our tea blogs from time to time. If you're a crafty sort, here's a package of iron-on transfers to help you create some tea-themed linens of your own. For a chance to win, just leave an "Enter me" to this post between now and 7 a.m. EST tomorrow. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteThat is a delightful Valentine card and the linen transfers are cute too.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me. You are really tea-sing us with these cute valentines. I think Gail and Connie were twins who signed the valentine. Economic times were tough and Mama didn't have enough money for 2 sets of valentines. Unfortunately, the girls were more musically talented than artistically and although they tried, their home made valentines were not a success. (how's that for a story line?)
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to celebrating Valentine's week with you on your blog. What fun giveaways!
ReplyDeleteOh how cute! Yes, please enter me!!
ReplyDeleteI would say that because every young child learned how to write in cursive at an early age back when that this was simply a frugal way of giving a mutual friend a Valentine - perhaps these gals were sisters and it was for a neighbor or mutual friend, given together.
Love the tea towels too.
Have a tea-lightful day!
Please count me in for the drawing.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for some transfers with tea themes for a project I am working on. These are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom taught me how to embroider and these bring back sweet memories of times spent with her.
Your Valentine is so cute. I am sure it made someone smile when they received it. Thank you for the chance to win. I loved Marie's little story!

very cute transfer. I've been wanting to do some embroidery again. This would be a great project.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the tea valentines! I have a weakness for old valentine cards also, and it is a rare treat to find tea themed cards- so good finding. I just recently got these embroidery transfers and am excited to use them soon. It's been a long time since I did any embroidery so it will be a challenge.
