I have a collection (okay you’re not surprised) of vintage Valentine cards. My boyfriend and then husband has been buying them for me over the years. I LOVE vintage Valentines; I treasure the ones from the turn of the century, however, the funny and clever cards we exchanged in grammar (yes grammar not elementary) school are among my favorites. Two years ago I posted some of those from the 50’s in a blog post: Valentine’s Day Cards – A Look Back in Time and last year was a mix of both eras: Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, Happy Valentine’s Day To You!
Today I received this adorable card…
AND he personalized it too!
I have a few of the famous “Tuck” cards. These cards are highly-valued and come from Germany. The are articulated with arms and legs movable. A couple of them still have the string hanging that moves their limbs.
Look he’s holding a pretzel and a bratwurst!

Love the stockings!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO ALL
