My Vintage Thingies Thursday for today is short and sweet. Since Valentine is just around the corner, Coloradolady will not mind us sharing loves from the past. 
This a Valentine I gave my mother back in the mid forties or early fifties. It has survived for many years. She was only 54 when she passed away October 1961.

What a wonderful daughter you were! A special card filled with special meaning.
So cool it was saved for so many years! My dad saved many things that meant a lot to him, and after he passed away, we were finding them all hidden in different spots in the house! Every day was like a treasure hunt!
What a sweet daughter you were, LV... By the way, how did you get your name? Is it a family name??? SO pretty!!!!
Your mother did die young... I'm so sorry. My Mama lived 'til she was 91.. Bless her soul.
Great post.. Love the old Valentines.
Hugs,
Betsy
