Valentine's Week Giveaway #5

Of all the valentines I've collected, I must say that this is the one that is probably most like those I would have sent and received as a child in the late sixties. Wouldn't it be something if this really were one of the designs I sent to a classmate? If you'll note the little tabs up top, it's clear that Hallmark ditched the envelopes and went with the self-sealing kind of valentine card for kiddos.

The names, too, are more of my era. Instead of Margaret or Eloise (both of which I like, by the way), we've got a Julie and a Heidi. Funny enough, I was in the grocery store one night this week when a young mom stopped and asked me if I knew where to buy valentines. ("Am I on Candid Camera?" I thought.) Turns out, she'd been unable to find those mass quantities of kids' valentines at any of the grocery stores or dollar stores (I'm ashamed to admit I haven't even thought to look at those places, and what if they have tea ones!). She told me she might be forced to download something off Pinterest and print it out by the next morning. "God made Pinterest for a reason," I assured her.


Meanwhile, back in the land of giveaways, y'all know I love me some tea towels, and I was in a local antique shop recently (Treasures Lost and Found for you locals) when I bought one of these for me and one for one of you. 


If you'd like to win the tea towel, just leave an "Enter me" to this post between now and 7 a.m. tomorrow, February 13, *making sure I have a way to contact you if you're the winner* and you'll be entered to win. (US only.) Good luck!

  7. Please enter me for the cute teacup tea towels!
    Your vintage Valentine DOES appear to be from the 60's--the girl's hairdo certainly looks like it's from that era.
