Show and Tell Friday - Vintage Valentine Planters

Today is another Show and Tell Friday hosted by Kelli at There's No Place Like Home


Last Valentine I started collecting these really cute Vintage Valentine Planters. They are from the 1950's and I have been finding them on ebay

I just love the way they look! They each have a planter in the back to put a plant or flowers in it. They are so 50ish looking!
Here's some close up shots of each one of them Their little faces are so sweet!
On the back of each one is a planter to put a plant into it! For more Show and Tell Fridays, don't forget to go visit Kelli's House!
