The little handmade valentine (below) was made by my Aunt in the early 1900's - found it in a box of antique/vintage cards at an antique shop many years ago and recognized name and her hand writing was beautiful (beautiful old style script). I asked her about it (before she passed away several years ago) and she seemed to think she was in the first grade when it was made.

What a sweet Valentine made by your Aunt. I love the story about how it made its way back to your family. Thanks for sharing your Valentine's Day treasures.
Wow, Glenda, what are the odds of that? Very cool story.
Glenda, that is so great that you found your aunt's V'tine card at an antique store! What a treasure to have. Your jewelry is gorgeous! I must have missed this post, because I think I would remember all of these pretty pieces. I'm so glad you linked this to my party. Happy Valentine's Day! laurie

There is a theme of bling in your photos, all nice for this special day.
Such beautiful jewelry, Glenda, and so wonderfully photographed. What a treasure to find your Aunt's handmade valentine in an antique shop. Happy St. Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day, Glenda! I also think that it's wonderful that you found your Aunt's card. I have a card that my aunt sent to my mother when she was a little girl - it's precious to me.
I should have said my Great Aunt :)

Wow, that was quite the find. Love the red and black theme of the photos. Happy Valentine's Da.
Glenda, I love your old Valentine images - just lovely.
It seems to haVE come around so quickly this year don't you think?
Maybe because I'm getting older too quickly!!!

Wow! What treasures! I love heart shaped jewelry! Happy Valentines day!
How amazing that you found a Valentine and your Aunt had made it. You were so lucky she was still alive to see it and talk about it. That has to be one of those interesting and unexplained things that doesn't seem possible.
Did you have our beautiful day yesterday? I took the dog out this morning expecting more of the same and almost froze to death...I think snow is headed our way for the weekend. Enough of winter for me...I'm over it! Have a good one!
These are gorgeous Glenda, just gorgeous!
I just love that one with the bling, you should sale, you could link up here and I know folks would buy!
Hugs,

how amazing to come upon her valentine like that! What a wonderful story! :)
Oh my gosh Glenda. Was that ever meant to be? What are the odds of you finding a Valentine made by your Aunt when she was so young. What a cherished treasure. Thanks for sharing your sweet Valentines with SYC.
