Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge of peasant and peasant atmospheres

of peasant and peasant atmospheres relived with ingenuity and sincere passion

I've been paying attention to old carved spoons lately

with Jose and his family looking as if both signaling "help" and gratefully waving to her

Folded in half and then half again

I just love its immediacy and directness and the relative crudeness of her fantastic profile

Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge of peasant and peasant atmospheresJust a pair of little handmade valentines, which, between those fancy scalloped edges and crayoned hearts, I find hugely satisfying. There is writing in graphite inside, a little hard to read against the green, but one was definitely addressed to Grandma. There is a bit of a sheen to the green paper. 3 1 8" x 3 ea, closed. Good condition, early 20th c. I believe.
