Valentine's Week Giveaway #5

Today's valentine is one I was delighted to come across because it introduced me to a type of valentine card I'd never seen before, one with a doily design embossed right into the card. I also learned there is apparently something desirable about cards with "silvered" designs, and in this one, you can see that the teapot and teacups being used by these little elephant teagoers have silver finishes to them.

I bought this card on eBay, but what I did not realize until it arrived is that the spoon is actually a tiny metal spoon! So this quickly became one of my favorite new vintage valentines.

 

And here's the inside of the card, which, interestingly enough, was left blank, while …

Grandma and Grandpa signed it on the back, not the inside. Did folks used to sign the backs of cards? I can't remember ever seeing one signed that way before. But wow, look at that penmanship! Doesn't it give you a warm, cozy feeling to remember such sweet sentiments of yesteryear? I hope so, because "warm and cozy" is the theme for today's giveaway, which is actually something I bought a while back and have been saving for this week.

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago when I found these teacup socks on sale at Charming Charlie. Well, I bought an extra pair that I stashed away for a Valentine's Week giveaway, so that's today's gift!
