Vintage Hallmark Valentine

      Welcome to another pink Saturday .  I am anxious to see what the other blogers have posted for this day of pinks..    I am showing a Hallmark Valentine card from the year 1937.  I came by way of it when I purchased  this old box of vintage greeting cards  at a garage sale a few years ago.. I couldn't pass them up.  I believe I paid $2.00 for the lot.   

This is the front of the card .

The inside of the card..  it was sent to a little baby by the name Kitty on her 1st valentine day by her Auntie.. This was info on the back of the card .


 Below is a delicate looking wedding card that was among the cards also.
It has a white ribbon tucked among the flowers.. The back of the card said kitchen clock so I assume that was the wedding gift  from the senders of this card.



  Later I will show some of the other cards that was in the box.. 
  Let all stop by our hostess Ms Beverly and see what is showing for today.

    Cute vintage Valentine card, Elaine. My sister introduced me to the Vintage holiday cards years ago, and ever since then, I am a big fan of them. Your Valentine Header is so sweet.

    You can hardly even buy a card for less than a couple of dollars these days and they certainly aren't as nice as the vintage ones. How are you liking the Kindle? I'm not sure about going tech with everything. I still like to hold a book in my hands. Hope you are having a good day. Love, T

    Hello Elaine,
    I love vintage cards and postcards. That Valentine is so precious. Remember the days when we'd decorate a shoe box or other box for school to exchange Valentines? You got a good deal on the box of vintage cards!
    Hugs, Cindy
