A beautiful 1920's Valentine’s Day card has the following inscribed behind the outer heart.
“Where can I find a flower so fair, a star so bright, or a jewel so rare, where is the beauty that can compare with yours, my Darling? Nowhere, nowhere”.

I’ve created an album that will not only hold years of Valentine’s Day cards and memories but will also become a treasured keepsake.
Cards and envelopes from the 1920’s have been applied to scrap wood covers that were painted and antiqued.
Happy Valentine’s Day…!
