Cameo (kăm'ē-ō')
A gem or shell carved in relief,
especially one in which the raised design
and background consist of layers of contrasting colors.
I belong to a small group called CAMEO.
Collecting Antiques and Memorabilia and Educating Ourselves
This pretty table was the setting
for our meeting last February.
Our topic that day was Torquay Pottery,
but that's another post on its own right.
The centerpiece was a tower of stacked
cake plates in graduated sizes
that held pretty pink swirled cupcakes.

Scattered atop the vintage white linen cloth were
Alison's collection of vintage cameo pieces.

Alison had made each of us a beautiful cameo valentine.
She used photo copies of various vintage cameos,
cut them out, then glued them to heart shaped pink card stock.
She filled cello bags with sugary
treats and tied it all with a pink satin ribbon.
This is the cameo Alison selected for my valentine.
Isn't this the sweetest idea for a handmade valentine?
