I also remember exchanging Valentine cards..but I remember there to be a single card placed in envelopes and everyone exchanged. Its was so much fun and the cards back there were simply adorable. My Mom loved holidays and I miss her spirit during them. I'm so sorry I wasn't here earlier. I went through some major blog server issues last week and was done for a few days. Thank you so much for sharing the treaures you purchased and happy you enjoyed them. It was so sweet of you to share!Cathy @ My 1929 Charmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152030881064923919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-86882712099715142712018-02-21T02:02:49.888-08:002018-02-21T02:02:49.888-08:00Hello Karen, I loved reading about your Valentine&...Hello Karen, I loved reading about your Valentine's Days and seeing that gorgeous photo of you and your dear man xxSue (this n that)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06391234047655434003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-86711335165708046642018-02-20T09:19:58.441-08:002018-02-20T09:19:58.441-08:00That is so lovely, dear Mariette, that your husban...That is so lovely, dear Mariette, that your husband can be so poetic and creative for you! Unfortunately, mine is a man of few words, but his actions always speak louder than words.......Even though Valentine's Day is over-commercialized, I am still very happy, after 45 years of marriage, that my dear husband still finds it important to bring me a card and roses for Valentine's Day. Yes, the flu is very serious this year and I worry about my little grandchildren every day. Thank you for your always interesting visits, my dear! xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-53753205147145851602018-02-20T00:51:27.765-08:002018-02-20T00:51:27.765-08:00what a delightful post dear Karen!

So nice to have your furbabies close by when you aren't feeling well. Bet your hubby was glad you backed a nice treat for him before you became ill. Loved the picture of you two at the end.

And still it is by far not as commercial as here in the U.S.A. where it is over-commercialized.<br />The flu is a tough thing this winter. Our state has had over 50 death and ranked the highest in the nation... SAD. The elderly and the infants are the most vulnerable.<br />Sending you hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-85497461245047503632018-02-17T18:35:49.865-08:002018-02-17T18:35:49.865-08:00I'm sorry you are under the weather, Karen, an...I'm sorry you are under the weather, Karen, and your grandson--hopefully its all over by now. My father-in-law, who is 87, and my little grandson, who is just a year old, were both hospitalized. Papa had the flu, Brooks turned out to have had an asthma episode. Both are well, but Papa is under a bit of a quarantine. He has had lung cancer for over 8 years. He never smoked, but was a life long firefighter. We worry when he gets anything that involves his breathing.<br /><br />Your home is just perfect for romantic Valentine's decorations. The soft colors and old pieces like that pretty hutch I so envy!<br /><br />I hear you on the Valentine's Day angst. I remember making the boxes, sometimes paper bags, and worrying I wouldn't get many. I was also super quiet and sensitive. I was always the last chosen for sports teams in P.E. Its a shame that our teachers didn't think back then to change these practices. When my kids did the Valentines thing, they were to make (or buy) one for each child in their class.<br /><br />I love seeing the picture of you and your husband. I love when any blogger posts those. You both look young, happy and expectant!! I'll have to dig around for some early pics. I was the one always holding the camera, so I'm rarely in any photos!!<br /><br />The roses story is touching. I've often commented to a man with flowers in the grocery, "Someone is going to be a very lucky lady today!" Makes them blush!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting today--you are such a great blog friend!<br /><br />Jane Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-3501953029415529592018-02-17T13:36:57.709-08:002018-02-17T13:36:57.709-08:00Nice valentines day post.

I drove thru Olympia to Lacey last Friday. Not too bad. Kerri drove to Seattle on Sat...good idea. I thought about you and wondered if you were going to the show. Week days was probably less crowded? I don't have your email addy . Happy weekend.

Some lovely shots and lots of special memories wrapped in them.<br /><br />Although it was all lovely, I wanted to tell you I was especially smitten with that little bowl of handmade hearts you have on your coffee table. What a simple gesture but so, so charming.<br /><br />I wish you a beautiful weekend, Karen, with many glimpses of heaven in unexpected places.

We don't ever celebrate Valentine's Day...I remember the childhood Valentine's boxes with fondness. And I loved seeing my daughter and then my grandson follow that tradition. But I seldom do anything for the holiday. I'm more of a "show me you love me when I least expect it" kind of person. But, I do love seeing vintage Valentines and hearing stories like the ones you shared in this post! So sweet!
