Sailor's Valentines

My dad sent me a cool link the other day to this lady that makes modern day Sailor's Valentines. If you've never seen one, you should check them out here!

How beautiful would this be over your mantle, or hanging on a white wall??

A little more info on the history of Sailor's Valentine's here

Another gorgeous example, this one from the Etsy shop JustForTheShellOfIt

And while you're at it, check out this amazing necklace:

A miniature Sailor's Valentine made out of sterling silver and topaz from MangoTango on Etsy!

Cute blog! These Sailor's Valentines are adorable! They would soften the look of any room. Also love the picture of your cat in one of the pictures below. Looks like he's trying to smell all that fresh spring air.
