Valentine's Day
"The day's association with romantic love grew in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines").[1][3] Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards. " From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I still love hand made greeting cards. They bring back memories of special cards made in elementary school and art class for special people in our life. It also teaches children the reward from both giving and receiving to friends and family. I have been interested in vintage images for years and admire the art of all the Post Card and Greeting Card artists of the 19th Century.
So in celebration of Valentine's Day this year we will be offering a few of our own hand made cards. So check back to see what we dream up this month.
To start we are offering a card created from our art painting "I Put A Spell On You" embellished with Swarovski Rhinestones and little red tinsel two sided ornaments for your Valentine Tree or hang anywhere with a Valentine themed display. Below are the first cards and ornaments we have offered up for bid on Ebay. You can see them on Ebay here.
If you have a very special person in mind this year perhaps a Original Witchy Painting would make a special gift or treat yourself with our Original Painting also available on Ebay.
Be sure and bookmark us, we will be offering many hand made Valentine Cards and Ornaments throughout the month of January.
