Description
I rummaged through some boxes, trying to find some old postcards, a friend gave me as a present, years ago - luck on my side - I found them and here is one, which I thought as appropriate for today!
***
A bit of a nostalgic trip, (I presume 1900 - 1920,
I cannot be too sure of that, maybe somebody can help me?) - and the dating game has changed since then ... ;-)
***
one last word: 'Love ceases to be a pleasure, when it ceases to be a secret' - my desk calendar said so !
Cheers and hugs today

Very beautiful! I used to collect them too,Brigitte! Unfortunatelly,it was lost in one of our many moves,along with old pictures. I am glad you are holding on to yours. Precious. Happy Valentine's to you and Jeff! Hugs!
I too collect old postcards of my area. Lovely pic BB and thanks for the good wishes.
Smiles and Hugs!
Happy Valentine's to you !
A look through rose-colored glasses. A gentleman of the old school ... and ... she adorns, though she enjoys it ..... wonderful! Life can be soo nice. Sometimes I wallow in nostalgia fever. I am a philistine? NO Anyone who has dreams, has imagination Julchen

Wonderful card. Happy Valentines Day to you!!
A couple of kool classics there BB, so what's this thing called love ? it's been sooooo long I've forgotten...LOL Neat rummaging and that Calendar thingy sure is wise for a bit of plastic and paper...the new Oracle ? or something more sinister, like Crystal Balls...er, a Crystal Ball...LOL x2 !! Happy V-Day & ~Cheers~ :o)
Oh my gosh, what a trip into the past with that cherubic syrupy old Valentine card on top and the seemingly coy response to the gift of roses in the bottom one, Brigitte! Brings back memories of my youth.
AMAZING VALENTINES
Beautiful vintage card! It´s amazing that they colored the photos so well! I still have my set of colored pencils for photograpy! It was a hard work coloring pictures. First you had to give a base of linseed oil to the picture, then you should wait for it to dry and then you should apply the colors with a lot of patience to achieve adequate transparency!
brilliant!!!
Looks like Cupid has gone Hollywood. A charming post card from a simpler time. Your time line is not far off. I'd say 1910-1920. I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's day.
fabulous collage!!
Such a great show to see this lovely 'full of memories cards'. Love them, no secret of that, dear BB-chen. Ich hoffe du hattest ein wunderschöner Valentine-Tag; immer im meiner Gedanken, ohne Geheimnis, so gesagt LOL. Tschüss, meine liebe Ossi-Freund. ♥ ♥ ♥
Stunning look at the past. Thanks for sharing,these beautiful cards.
Wonderful to get a flashback to a time of very different fashion and mores. She looks quite coy. I agree with Mark on the dates. I've been watching "Downton Abbey" (they've just gotten to the year 1919) and this fits in quite well with the clothes they've been wearing since shortly before the first world war. The hair of the lady is a pretty good match too. Beautiful presentation!
cool pair of love shots...back from the day when Love meant something.... like Bob Shakespeare, Will's unlucky little brother, had no go with the ladies... he went to the man that carved the figurehead for the naval ships, asking him to carve out the likeness of a woman in Pine... The carver refused, citing that such congress would be unnatural, and that, as he quipped "love is a many splintered thing". very sweet imaging, let's see some more... and more shots of your garden...for us locked in the freezer....
Magnificent!
Great pictures. I have a leather postcard my grandmother gave me.they were all the rage in the twenties
I love both of these photos and a sweet collage. A belated Happy Valentines day to you.
Sorry I missed this great valentine's day posting, it is so beautiful. Part of me wants to go back to this lovely era but part of me is very happy with these times. I hope you and Jeff had a great day.
