This is the first year I have put together something vintage for February 14th. It all started when I found this silver heart-shaped tray at Value Village for $4. Of course I had to fill it with cinnamon hearts - my favorite, so I stock up since it's only available this time of year.
Then I popped by my local antique shop, asking if they had any vintage Valentines. What luck! The owner said he JUST found a box of them an hour or so before I came by! Awesome - I bought them all! They are just wonderful. Here's a peek at my favorites:

| Cutie pies... the little girl moves back and forth on a metal eyelet |
 |
| The little boy at the table looks like he attaches to another card. His arm moves up and down. |
 |
| These two goats butt heads when the tab is pulled! |
 |
| This tab pull moves the lovers back and forth to meet in the middle |
I just love the old graphics... put altogether in a display with the silver trays and candy, and viola! A Vintage Valentine Vignette!

Love your sweet vignette. I don't have any vintage Valentine's myself... I guess I will have to keep my eyes peeled for some now...

I like how you displayed the ones with the goats butting heads. What an unusual Valentine to give to someone.

Very pretty! I love cinnamon hearts too. I have never decorated for V-Day. It wasn't something my ex-h and I celebrated, and my fiance' is always on the road now.
