Be sure to check out the other girls that are participating this month, their links are at the end of this post. My finds… And… A set of two vintage sconces for just 4.99!! I was so excited!

French vintage Friday ~ vintage Valentine’s Day cards
Happy Friday, friends!!! It’s been such a busy two weeks, having my boys out of school for the holidays, and now with our new puppy! It’s been so much fun, but a little chaotic at times.

Today, I’m sharing something that I love to collect, vintage cards. They are such a sweet way to add a little extra something to a shelves,…
