February Hearts, Part 2

3" x 3", Prismacolor colored pencil

Here's the second in my new series of little drawings.

(Scroll down for the first.)

And here's another of my vintage Valentine postcards
sent to my husband's grandfather in 1910.
 (I've included this one more for the charming message than for the front image.)

It reads (uncorrected):
Mr. Adams,
Dear friend, rec your card and was very much surprise too hear from you and
 I appreicate being remember very much. Yes; Henry doesn't like me any more. 
Sincerly, Ida

  1. The only thing my mother wanted when my great aunt passed away was her post card books. Aren't they wonderful? So glad you shared the text as I am laughing out loud. It sound likes like something that would have come from my Aunt too... Beautiful work on your heart. So lovely.
