ReplyDeleteI'm very partial to anything with a heart motif, and ME does it better than most!
Ann Estelle is adorable in her robe. I'll bet she appeals to the little girl in many of us.
I love the work of ME...it looks like she was a big fan of Valentine's Day...or love in general! :-)
ReplyDeleteXO,

What a wonderful Valentine post. It brought back memories of a long time ago. I remember in elementary school, making "mail boxes" from shoe boxes. Decorating them with crepe paper and red contruction paper hearts. Then on Valentines day, everyone would place there mail bo on their desk and everyone would place Valentines in them.....

ReplyDeleteLove ME! She has such a talent and has created such endearing characters! I hope we have a very lovely time together - with my husband being a preacher I have learned I will always have to share his time - but, when we make time for each other - it is very special!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a marvelous Valentines!
Kathy
What a beautiful collection of vintage items. I love all of your tins. I am especially fond of heart shaped containers.
ReplyDeleteWe usually will celebrate on the weekend before to avoid the crowds and the high prices. I already gave him a big box of Godiva chocolates which we have enjoyed for a week now (but so did my little 4 year old grandson who saw them and grabbed a few - way too sophisticated for him!)

As always a special ME Collection. Lovely Valentine Post and such Sweet photos! Hugs to YOU for Valentines!
ReplyDeleteLove the sweet innocent vintage look of ME. Makes me remember homemade valentiine boxes in elementary school. Fun....Linda
ReplyDeleteI love ME Valentine merchandise.
ReplyDeleteGreat variety of goodies for today. I love the paper doll. I played with them in my young day, but nothing like this. Mine were cut from a Sears catalog.
ReplyDeletelove all the valentine ME stuff...sweet! Mica
ReplyDeleteSarah, Your ME tins are perfect decor for V'tine's! All of them are so cute. And, of course, I love the Quimper candlestics (I think that's what they are) in the background! laurie
ReplyDeleteAnn Estelle is my friend too. But I only have her on paper. I miss those once a month paper dolls.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you wrote this post Sarah, it is so sweet! I am still deciding on my valentine treats. It is a good reminder for me to get onto it.
ReplyDeleteJust glancing down at your Shadow Shot....love it!
Thanks so much for you comment on my meet/cute :)

How sweet that you have the wonderful collection of tins by ME. She is a great artist and I love all her work. I did have some of Estell paper dolls but handed them over to a six yr. old..who just adored them. I see you do too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day.
Yours Sincerely,
Shirley
What a lovely collection of tins! And you have displayed them beautifully. The 'open it' one is so cute. Thanks for adding this to The Valentiens Party and happy Valentines Day to you.
