Happy valentine's day from 1959!
I found this pretty heart shaped candy box at the flea market a couple of weeks ago.
Can you believe I had it in my hand and then set it back down!!!
I expected it would be costly and it has a faint stain in the upper right corner.
I walked away!
I walked past the booth again, still there, back again a third time (about 3 hours later) to tell the woman I would be driving in soon to pick up my other 2 items, I walked over to the heart and finally asked the price.
5 bucks!!!!
What ever was I thinking! I handed her a 5 dollar bill immediately.
She had a few more but this was the oldest and the prettiest.
I especially like that the original recipient wrote the date that she received it on the back, makes it even more special.
And now I don't even notice the faint stain!
Happy Valentine's Day!

ReplyDeleteThat one is a beauty, Faye! Great find!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful box. I saw a vintage valentine today for 18.50, just a simple little one-sided card with no writing. You got a great deal!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely. I almost didn't buy a crazy quilt I found at the thrift store thinking I couldn't afford it. I dithered and then decided to find out how much it was. When she said it was $5.00, I quickly handed her the money and almost ran out of the store. It is really old and I don't think they knew what they had. It is my treasure now, just like your beautiful box.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so pretty no wonder you loved it. Such a reasonable price too.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, these always fly out of our shop!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
The candy box is lovely, Faye!
ReplyDeleteYou really got yourself a deal.
Happy Valentines Day to you dear friend!
xoxo
So glad you didn't miss out on this one! It's a beauty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely box. Just BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, gorgeous! I showed a couple of my candy boxes in my last post and I said that when it comes to Valentine candy boxes, it's not what's inside that counts but it's what the box looks like that counts! :) So again, great vintage box!
ReplyDeletePink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteHi,
I love your heart box. And heart boxes in general. Especially the pink ones.
