{Happy Valentine's Day}

Wishing you all a Happy Saint Valentine's Day!
To my Heart's Delight
Roses
Hearts
Angels
Forget-me-nots
With Love and Devotion To my Valentine
Authentic Reproduction of a Victorian Turn of the Century Valentine's Greeting Card on a Ribbon...
from Old Print Factory - New Baltimore, MI
Mailed to my dear Mom in 1994...
An offering of affection!
Mom LOVED forget-me-nots just as much as I do...
Yellowed Sachet Greeting Card on a Ribbon that I also did sent her.
Basket with roses... and forget-me-nots!
For my previous business I've sold lots of this kind of cards.

Wishing all of you a Happy Saint Valentine's Day and ALWAYS!

      Dearest Miyako,
      How meaningful for you as well! Yes, Mom and I, both LOVED forget-me-not and numerous times I've bought Mom a plant that she planted but Dad always got rid of it. He than with a mean grin would say: 'Oh I thought they were weeds...!'
