February 1st.
Time to start thinking of Valentines Day.
I absolutely love the old vintage images of the early 1800’s when the Victorians raised Valentines correspondence to an art.
Valentines were so popular during that time that collecting them now is not a very expensive endeavor. There are plenty out there to choose from, some in excellent condition.
I thought it might be fun this year to take some of my old favorites and make them into to Valentine’s Gift Boxes for my Etsy shop.
I have taken liberties of course – it is important to make them your own.
My Heart – Special Delivery
Cherub Love
Parachuting Kitty Valentine from the 1950’s
Do you know someone who deserves a special Valentines Day award?
This one is oh so sweet!
I’ve been busy creating some “Pretty Little Things” now it’s time for you to get to work.
Hugs,
Amada
P.S. What is Black and White and Red all over?
My Alice in Wonderland Crown,of course.
Check it out later this week!

Amada,
Good to see you too this last weekend too!
I'm anxious to see YOUR Alice in Wonderland crown, as I am making one too! I just set it aside to look at and decide what to add,,etc. Needs a bit more tweaking. That is so funny that you are doing one too! I finished a Cake Topper for the same customer yesterday with an "Alice theme." Both are for a 13yo Birthday,,The cake topper just fell together, the crown,,,,ackk, I think the creative fairies went out of town! Maybe there in your neck of the woods, if so please send them BACK!!!! I need to get these done and shipped to Texas in a couple of days.
The "Alice" cake topper is in my sidebar of Bungalow Bling
