Valentine's Giveaway Week Day #3

This Valentine is interesting to me because it's printed on very thin, very glossy paper.

And yet it's a foldover type of card, so I'm really kind of impressed it has lasted all these years!

Seventy years, to be exact! And it's to Dennis Lee from Grandpa + Grandma Gimdars. I love it! And I also love finding Valentine's cards with the date written on them!

So if you win this pack of teacup notecards and hand one to a friend, you might want to consider writing the date on there so future collectors will know how old it is! For a chance to win, just leave an "Enter me" between now and 7 a.m. EST tomorrow. Good luck!

  3. Hi Angela
    It's funny you should suggest to put the date on cards, my parents always did this - maybe it was a generation thing? I thought it was kind of tacky but now, if someone 60 or 70 years from now thinks our cards are cute, the date would help establish a time frame.
