Antique Valentines - Bunnies, Birds and Butterflies

Click on images to enlarge



Recently a very kind reader named Paige, offered up some scans of her early Valentine collection! These are some really beautiful and rare Victorian valentines!! The details on these early valentines are just amazing, so many lovely bits of lace paper, Victorian scraps and touches of gold. The one at the top with the Bunnies and cabbages is my favorite! The middle one shows a charming bird with an egg filled nest and the last one features a Butterfly, Cherub and some sweet children. Thank you Paige for sharing with us!
