It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

...Valentines Day!

There's everything to LOVE about Valentine's Day. It's a big, red, heart-shaped, bright spot coming right smack in the middle of the cold, dark winter. Check HERE for a little history of this delightful holiday.

And who doesn't LOVE vintage Valentine cards and the memories of giving one to all your classmates? (Especially that cute boy who sat behind you!)

Here's a little look back at the "Golden Age" of Valentines and a peek at the brand new goodies available for making your own 21st Century expressions of LOVE <3
