Vintage Postcard


"None but the brave deserve the fair"
Says my lone vintage Valentine's postcard. 
She is giving him the eye and he looks startled. 
The postcard is dated 1959.


It is centered on the dining room table surrounded by hurricanes filled with red candles.

Do tell, any big plans for tonight?

happy valentine's day

  1. Okay, I like vintage cards, but something about those heart faces is creepy! What were people thinking back then?

    Hope you have a sweet-filled day! (in a non-creey sort of way).

  2. You're in the Valentine's spirit now! We have no plans that I know of for Valentine's Day. For as much Valentine's decorating that I do, we really don't celebrate the actual holiday that much.

  3. Happy Valentine's Day, Olive. I love the graphics on that card, but, hmmmm, just a little creepy. lol Hubby and I are just relaxing tonight. Doing nothing is our idea of fun, cause we're always so busy. Maybe a movie.

  4. This is how they did it in 1959, the year of my birth. Perhaps that explains the ominous graphic and text. We have no big plans, we are going to dinner tomorrow night to avoid the heart-bearing masses. Ann

  10. Hi Olive. I love vintage cards, but that man heart's face is just a little spooky. I had a lovely card and large box of chocolates from hubby, but I'm actually babysitting this evening for daughter number 2 and her husband , whilst they go out for a meal!

  15. I made us all dinner and now I have collapsed in bed. We are going away tomorrow so it has been crazy trying to get ready. I love that card. I think a lot of men looked like that today.
