Vintage Valentine Museum

02/03/2024

Unfortunately we are having issues with The Vintage Valentine Museum. The hosting has changed back to the blogspot domain (vintagevalentinemuseum.blogspot.com) but do far, this is not functioning well. The page here seems to also be having an issue too now, because, why not? Apologies to those who have enjoyed the museum over the years. we are unsure when or even if these issues can be resolved. This was a labor of love whose time may have come to a sadly timed ending.

Hope your Valentine's Day was lovely. We participated in a local feature for the holiday this year - take a look:

The cliche ideas of Valentine's Day -- the roses, chocolates, and construction paper cards -- are not what this collection is about. The history of Valentine's cards is rich: they are the love letters of culture's past.

A rare theme for a valentine - Voodoo! A-Meri-Card made paper doll valentines like this one from the 1950s. The card has no publisher identification however, so I cannot be positive that they were the maker.
