Around this time of year, I like to offer an array of vintage Valentine's Day Cards in my Etsy shop. Months in advance, I search high and low for the very best ones I can find. Then I scramble to get them quickly listed so that they'll arrive in plenty of time before February 14.
Here is a peek at this year's valentine stash, all of which are from the 1930s . . .
These fun cards were printed in Germany. Several of them are riveted and have movable parts.
The adorable card, shown above, sports a real 3-D cloth bag in the wife's hands.
These sweetly whimsical cards were made in the U.S.A. They make me smile.
Many of the cards above were produced by "Whitney Made" and feature charming illustrations on both sides. Super cute!
For local folks, I also have a nice selection of vintage valentines in my SoNo Market Place booth.
Now it is time I got back to finishing the listings for these cards. I'm determine to get them all into my Etsy shop today!

I don't received something like this on Valentines day, but I really love your designs. I hope next year I will received something like this from my boyfriend, ended my boyfriend and I celebrated Valentines day full of love.

The valentines are so precious. I have a couple of old ones and hope to add to my collection one day.

Susan I love all of your Valentines. I have a lot of mine from the 50's & 60's framed like yours. I have one that my grandfather made and signed 6-15-1911. It is really neat but I'm not sure why he made it in June. I also have a few I bought from you.
It is so much fun to decorate with all of the vintage valentines.
