And these vintage postcards --

As a writer, I couldn't resist this one!

Some of these were awfully pretty...

I liked these a lot...

...and these brought back memories of days gone by. Did you make Valentine's boxes for school? I still remember mine!

These "Penny Dreadfuls" were insulting valentine's.

And some are awfully funny -- I don't know if you can read the words, but the graphics alone get the message across!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8FbcfBFu1cyuXgeZu2QMz6ESAF4zP4DP9ZGIgGi3Ta_99KUM32to7PMGLsCtU09Cn88NaFl_1mPwUeHxC_-tnfXT1Dim8-DFv0VAWDHYoNkrvxHeQVQKpBDalR1C6xxQ0bLuubIPLNjDw/s400/Valentines+069.jpg)
Funny cards always make me smile...

And some were on the suggestive side!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvHAvotB9dFbKOxGa6hsVIA24c7WA5VWWFY_IWTiquyDaGcZIt4uzsNegzuyTWQhLLcO0ucl9yIQ79gaOh0Pm8lMMPUflgcfC6vRmWjdv3bveTPBTi5yBjZmKggJCR6-hmhk9f-ZpXFs6C/s400/Valentines+081.jpg)

Finally, I couldn't leave without saluting "Man's Best Friend" (and lots of women's!)...
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6D7AYpseUglfXBFDCg2nYHqBWhTMXQ2ZsDSrEIr_MFQJjMdnLg1F6WKVDJRWc3R6b4ATL6OqSsPCWw5eQHpeMD5K_uEPkiHS7lzg8dWxVYle2x1u0uPEPqFGPRyN2qSyzQvGqUtGQUoD5/s400/Valentines+049.jpg)
And a salute to the four-legged companion in my household!

As for my two-legged Valentine -- well, we plan on having a wonderful time too!
And you? You're all my valentines! Happy Valentine's Day!
NOTE: All of these vintage valentine's were from the MSU Museum's collection. The exhibit continues through early March if you live in the area. I think I may use some of these in some tags or ATCs. What do you think? Feel free!

Very cute valentines. Altho I don't see why they named the penny dreadfuls as they did - they don't seem dreadful to me! Happy Valentines Day.
thanks for sharing.....I love the vintage goodies !
and
happy valentines day to you !
Lovely...all the cards!! But I am sure, that Rick doesn`t like the card with the man who fell down his bike.....:-))
By the way: Happy Valentines Day to you !
Since I don't live in MI thanks for the peek at the exhibit. Old Valentine's Day cards are so cool....and yes, I remember making my valentine's box at school and waiting to see all the cards I'd receive.
Happy Valentine's Day!!
Happy Valentine's Day! This was a great glimpse into Valentines!!!
Hi, Jeanie,
I did have a Valentine box - and better yet, I have three of my grandmother's extraordinarily fancy valentines. I had them framed for Mom a couple of years ago for her birthday. They're beautiful things, and will show up in a post eventually so you can enjoy them.
I hope your day was lovely! Thanks for giving us such a nice overview of these precious cards!
What fun! I'm still in the midst of my California trip and Valentine's Day got away from me this year.
What a fabulous post, Jeanie. I love the fancy vintage cards. They are so romantic.
That sounds like an amazing museum...(however the heck you spell that!). I love the posts you make about their vintage displays....is the whole musuem like that, or do they just always have a vintage display? Thos ecard are beautiful, and yes, I will save a few of those images for personal use if you don't mind. (What's a ATC?)
That was before the electronic messages! Some regrets, no doubt! :-)
What a lot of thought and substance you put into your bbb posts dear Jeanie!
This one is a delight, how nice to get to see some of the exhibit and those scrumptious valentines of days gone by
I must say the Snow White one really spoke to me too!
oxo
What wonderful , lovely valentines. Why does it seem things were more special back when.....
Blessings!
Gwen
