Valentine Girl

Sweet Vintage Valentine Girl

Adorable little flower girl with blue dress and a Valentine

I am in LOVE with this card! Look at this cute face and pretty azure dress. The one sock up and one sock down gets me every time! Such a mark of a small child. Some of the old greeting cards can be super sweet. Much of this art is still available, thanks to vintage greeting card collectors who have been busy over the years.  As a result, Creators at Zazzle take the time to upload vintage art they can find through a number of sources. The Creator will sometimes apply considerable clean up or colorizing or other restoration to the art. And then arrange the piece nicely and maybe add a nice sentiment such as you see here. My Heart is Thine. It's very popular nowadays to collect this enchanting artform of antique cards and if you have penpals, they would love to receive this card! 

Postcard Printing Tip

As always, remember to look at the back of the card before you click to buy. This one has a lovely vintage style lettering (saying Postcard)  which you may like to keep. But if not, on many cards, you can click in to Zazzle and change it yourself.



Postcard Trivia 

In the 19th Century, before postcards existed, people began to send decorated envelopes through the mail, with cards inside. Some people think this is where the idea of postcards came from!

  1. Thank you, Windy! Lovely to meet someone who takes the time to really look at designs and also write about them. I feel honored to have my postcard here :) By the way, I have also thought about writing about designs, but then I think it would have to be in Swedish, my English is not quite that good.
