It wouldn’t matter if there were chocolate covered ants inside, as long as they come in a fancy vintage candy box! The more elaborate – the better. Heck, forget the chocolates and just give me the empty box. I’m still building my own collection and don’t have any to sell, so I found another shop on etsy that has several and have pictured just a few here. Check it out http://www.etsy.com/shop/violet64
This embossed Valentine postcard was sent to me by my Mother. It came from her Grandmother’s estate. The postmark is dated 1909! If you don’t already know about The Gifted Line, founded by John Grossman, then just do a Google search – you’ll be glad you did. Grossman has kept Victorian ephemera alive by publishing incredible photos of original works in his books, cards and calendars.
