A LITTLE VINTAGE LOVE

I came across these darling vintage Valentine's reproductions. I thought they were so pretty. I just couldn't pass them up.

Things were just so much prettier back when times were simple. I love the honey comb heart.

Romance was more important back then.


Cupid seemed to be everywhere.



Love was in the air.

Today, the boys just honk and the girl runs out to the car. Men do not hold doors open for woman anymore. I've had many doors almost slam on my face. Dates are often paid for by both the men and woman. After all, why should the man pay?

Most young boys don't even know what a romantic date is like. They wouldn't have a clue how to even go about it.

I'm all for equal work for equal pay but I really think woman messed things up when they fought so hard for women's lib.

We lost the romance then.

So, I will just continue to love things from the past and day dream about stepping back in time.

  8. What wonderful finds! I'm trying to teach my boys how to act like gentlemen. They both attend cotillion and I attempt to give them pointers on how to treat a woman. I want to get "good" daughter-in-laws!
