Given that today is Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be a good time to look for some Ephemera specifically related to the day.. and share it with you.
It didn’t take me long to come up with a wonderful collection of Valentine’s Day cards collected by a fellow named Dave. He goes by the odd name of “riptheskull” on Flickr and says of himself:
I work about 8 hours a day 5 days a week, on my off time I go to Flea Markets, Auctions,Yard Sales and of course eBay to try to build my collections. I also enjoy going to parks. My record is 51 Deer Ticks at Elk Neck Park in Maryland.
And oh by the way, he also says he is Male and Single.
That said, here are a few of the 1760 Vintage Valentine’s Day Cards in his collection.
Of that collection Dave says:
I collect all holiday postcards, Halloween Postcards are my favorite but I enjoy the Valentine’s Day Postcards too – Great art work and that whacky Cupid Make these my second Favorite type of Holiday Postcards and they are cheap for now.
When you are done, head on over to his Flickr Pro account and peruse the other 1700 or so. Quite a lovely collection!
And to all the lovely ladies who read this blog “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
