Happy Valentines Day everyone!!
Its Vintage Valentine Card Party time,

Don't forget your party favor...

Today I am sharing some sweet Vintage Valentines that I found online but wish I really had to create with...
I love the silly humor in all of them!
The vintage valentines are so much cuter/sweeter than the valentine cards available

♥ Vintage Heart Swap ♥


Hey girls! I wanted to share with you the things I received from the Vintage Heart Swap I participated in and what I made/gave too:) Nothing like some blog eye candy, eh?

My partner was Mishele from The Crowned Casa, I had a lot of fun getting to know her by reading her blog and chatting through emails. She has a gorgeous home too!!

Here are the goodies I gathered for her...

This lil Vintage "ornament" I made and showed awhile back was the Vintage item for Mishele...



I gave her a sheet of toile paper, because she loves the toile pattern,
also some vintage cupcake pics...



A pretty LOVE sign; a lot of her home is decorated in red and black...




I also made her another ornament to hand with a glittered heart and some other pretty goodies I used to create...



I found these cute lil valentine take out boxes and gave her one filled with...


Candy!! And one of those fun little magic towels...



I also decorated one of these lil metal mailboxes and..



filled the inside with some craft goodies, a heart stamp & ink pad, some ribbon and some glitter...



a set of cupcake sprinkles and a card decorated by me!
Oops, I also sent a Vanilla Cupcake scented candle and a cupcake mix, that I forgot to take pics of!!

.....................................................

Here is what I received from Mishele...



It all came in this cute heart box...



My sweet kitty vintage Valentine card, a pretty vintage bookmark, a set of 2 pink heart towels, a mini flower pot with seeds inside, a book- The Girls Book of Positive Quotations (some great ones in there!)...


Sorry this pic is blurry:(
A set of 3 mini vases that say: Live Well, Laugh Often and Love Much...
a set of Valentine Scrapbook Stickers and a mini pedicure kit (loove it!)


Here is a better pic of the pretty bookmark!

Thanks Dolly for hosting a sweet swap like this one!
I definitely had a LOAD of fun creating things for it:)
Head over to her blog to see what all the others swappers gave/received too!

Happy ♥ Day girls!!
