Die-cut Valentine, c. 1950s

Striking Valentine, c. 1950s

Valentine Pie, 1903

A Tuck Valentine.

Here's the poem inside:

PLEASURE

I'd like to be a piece of pie,

To give you so much pleasure;

The smile that twinkles in your eye

Now indicates a treasure.

If you could only care for me,

We'd love and pie combine;

I'd serve the sweetest things to thee

And be your Valentine.

New York Magazine paper dolls

Thank you Jenny T. for giving us a heads up about these paper dolls that appear in the Dec. 29-Jan. 11 issue of New York Magazine. I'm home nursing a cold, but my husband ran to the nearest convenience store and bought a copy. 

Check out Jenny's blog for more details.

Happy New Year

I wish all of us a peaceful and prosperous 2015.
