Valentine's Week Giveaway #1

As longtime readers of this blog know, Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays, so I like to share some of my vintage valentines *and* host a few small giveaways each year around this time. Today, I'm sharing one of my newest vintage valentines, and while it's not dated, I suspect this ship-shaped valentine is one of the older ones in my collection, maybe from the thirties or forties. I love that the young man is serving this passenger her tea from a teapot with a heart on it! It reads, "My heart is anchored fast. It's yours, Dear Valentine."

Maybe this was a card given from one classmate to another since it reads To Birkley Bush frome (sic) Bruce Smith. I think the brad on the back is supposed to make some of the pieces on the front jiggle, but I'm trying to be careful with that to avoid tearing them.

And for today's giveaway, I'm offering a hot-pink heart-shaped silicone tea infuser! I think it's a cute piece of décor even if you don't decide to use it! To be entered in the giveaway, just leave an "Enter me" comment to this post between now and 7 a.m. EST on Wednesday, February 12, making sure I have a way to contact you if you're the winner, and you'll be entered to win. You can also enter on the Tea With Friends Facebook page here if you like. Good luck!
