Happy Valentines day to everyone :)
I love all your lovely cards Kimmie. What a romantic day to have a proposal!
Your sky looks just like mine!
I forgot to mention in my post this morning, I'm drinking coffee to get me going then switching to a cranberry tea to take with me on my day out :)
I love vintage Valentine's cards. I was going to get a photo of the sunrise sky yesterday, and didn't have batteries, then today it was too foggy. Oh well. lol Love the blue sky you are under. Have a happy day.
Beautiful vintage Valentines. So sweet.
Our morning was very foggy with misty light snow at times. It's clearing up some now. If I had a little more time I'd go snap some photos. :)
Hope to stop by everyone's posts this afternoon.
here's mine:

I stopped by early this morning, but you weren't up yet. Glad I came back for the lovely Valentines, both vintage and new. And of course, you will never forget that one special Valentine's Day.
Have a great Tea Tuesday. Here's my Valentine and Tea post:

I was sent over here by Jean to check out tea on Tuesday and had a great time scrolling back through your posts... you have been busy lately and I am beyond envious of a teapot shaped cookie from a few posts back... I am going to go and try and hunt a cutter out at the baking supply store this morning... I think then my life will be complete... xx
a perfect tea on tuesday with Valentines! the old cards are so lovely... x

Those vintage valentine's are so much fun.
I just read the comment you left abou8t my camera. Yes, I have a tulip and mountain on this Vivitar camera a friend gave me in 2004. I think it was circa 2000. I could never get the settings to work, and was so surprised the first time I used the Kodak Zi6 my friend Scott gave me a couple of years ago. It took lousy "mountain" shots, but was perfect when I used the "tulip" setting. I had to go back to the Vivitar when the Kodak broke (the on/off button fell into the case). So, it was back to horrible macro shots and only fair medium and long range shots. Thanks for asking. Believe me, I've tried quite a few focal length and close ups are simply out of the question until I get a better camera.
cute collection of pix
