Old-Fashioned Valentines


My wonderful friend Marji gave a workshop on making old-fashioned valentines this morning. Boy was it fun! She has so much cool stuff! It was like raiding a treasure trove. Jesse, Linnea, and Tor and I made valentines, with lots of neat people helping. Oh yeah, it was at Wistariahurst, a great 19th century mansion in Holyoke, where I often participate in musical events. Some friends are performing there tomorrow. I'll probably go.

Oh, this is the valentine I was working on. What with helping the kids, I didn't really finish. I think it'll be for my favorite neighbor, Lynn Hoffman. Uh oh, what if she reads this? ;-)

Ouch, now that I look at that valentine again, it looks like a remembrance of a fallen soldier. Not too valentine-like. Maybe it needs more hearts?
