Tis You and You alone

I often think of my one true love.  I miss him so much.  He was a man's man, but he loved me and I loved him.  I wish he could come back just once so I could hug him again.

He was kind, good and strong.  My Beloved.  I love you, Honey.

My Heart's Queen -Postcard Friendship Friday #492

What a darling postcard!  I love the idea of a cherub small enough to swing under a posy of daisies!

My Heart's queen is

A Maiden fine,

I'd like to be

Her Valentine...

Isn't that sweet?  A joyous weekend to you, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

The Trysting Place -Postcard Friendship Friday #488

Who doesn't remember young love with all it's thrill and beauty.  My Beloved always remembered Valentine's Day.  He would bring candy and roses--with a rose for each of our daughters.

Today is my Daddy's birthday.  He has been in heaven for seven years now.  My Mom was the love of his life and they were married well over 50 years.  This postcard reminds me of their sweet and precious relationship.  Have a lovely week, sweet Friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Brief Line

I love this beautiful postcard.  There's something so romantic about the way she holds her lover's letter to her heart.

Romance was a beautiful thing back in those days!

To My Best Love -Postcard Friendship Friday #487

It is hard to describe the emotions touching my heart this afternoon. The New Year is here and memories of moments gone by mingle with the flow of what is yet to come.  I am filled with a certain melancholy, yet somehow joyful sense of the great adventure ahead. How I long to see what's around the next corner.

Already Valentine's Day is only a little over a month away!  So here is this year's first Valentine's Day postcard!  I love vintage vintage Valentine Cards--they are sometimes fun, but can be exquisite and elegant.

Have a beautiful weekend! What's left of it, that is--and don't forget to watch for those sparkles which God tucks into each day.

My Heart's Message -Postcard Friendship Friday #392

Isn't this a charming vintage Valentines Day postcard?  I adore the imaginative artwork which these talented artists of old left behind for us.  I am inspired when I see these sweet old postcards--the color, grace and beauty which some people deem corny, or old fashioned, I find to be refreshing!

It is hard to believe this will be the third Valentine's Day without my Beloved.  Yet I see Alan's touches all over my home and they make me smile.  I do miss him, but Spring is just around the corner bring with it all the hope and beauty of renewed life.

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Great Secret -Postcard Friendship Friday #390

This is a Valentine's Day postcard picturing two sweet friends.  One wonders what secrets they are sharing.  Friends have always been a wonderful part of my life, and I am blessed to be in touch with some of my friends from the earliest days of grade school.

Valentine's Day has been a difficult time for me since my Beloved flew away to heaven.  Yet, one of the greatest gifts as a result that loss are the wonderful women, fellow widows, whom God has brought into my life.

They are sisters of the dearest sort.  I am SO blessed and grateful for each of my sisters.  Especially for Wendy.  This card is dedicated to our sweet sisterhood and the deep friendship we share.

Have a lovely week, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

I apologize once more for my lateness in putting this up.  This weekend has been a hard one for me--My first Valentine's Day, without my beloved.  I'm sure he knows how much I love him--and I know I will see him again one day.

In the meantime, I thank God for the wonderful years we had together.

The Waiting Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Isn't this young woman beautiful?  Her complexion rivals the rose.  I do love the way the artist painted that rose.   And with the lovely maiden portrayed inside the enfolding heart, I thought this postcard perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

My Heart's Best Gift -Guest Heart Thursday

 

As the cleanup from our Chimney fire continues, I often pause to give thanks.  I thank God for His protection.  Things could have been so much worse.

I get emotional thinking about all the people who have helped us, prayed for us.  I am so thankful to those who support us and love us, despite our many flaws and faults.

My heart's best gift is that of love and thanksgiving.  I am especially grateful to my dear friends who have been such an encouragement over these past few weeks.  You know who you are.  ((hugs))

Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Candid Camera Shot -Guest Heart Thursday

Years ago, at a local estate sale, I found an ancient notebook filled with vintage Valentines.  There were 50 or more pasted inside.  I purchased the Valentines for only $5.  This charming old card is one of them.

When unfolded, the object of the candid shot is this handsome looking fellow in a dapper hat and tie.  He seems to like the idea that this darling young woman is taking his picture.

 If anyone out there has any information about this card, I would love to hear from you!

To My Valentine

What a fun sentiment for a Valentine!  I believe God made people like flowers, all colors, shapes and sizes.  These young girls are beautiful--such sweet faces and lovely costumes.

Happy Valentines  Day!

My Heart -Postcard Friendship Friday #203

Long ago, I lost my heart to my love.  We have been married for 30 years now.  I wouldn't trade a single day of my life with my darling husband.  He has brought out the best, for the most part, of who I am.  And I pray I have done the same for him.  I've been very blessed by my own dear Valentine.

A Saint You Ain't -Guest Heart Thursday

This is a card from my collection, posted years ago.  I thought you'd enjoy seeing it again.  Such a cute little kitty!  I believe this card was printed sometime in the mid 1940's.
