Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
The '80s were awesome,
and so are you!
I love Valentine's Day! It's easily one of my favorite holidays. Red dresses and tulle skirts, glitter and hearts everywhere, funfetti cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries...what's not to love?! When I was a little girl, my favorite thing about Valentine's Day, besides my themed outfits and treats my parents would give me, was selecting cards to give to all my friends at my school Valentine's Day party. The Barbie valentines were my favorites. I tried saving one back each year for myself; they were so adorable!

How. Cute. Are. They?! The colors! The vintage outfits! That one with the puppy!!!
30-ish years later, I was able to find a complete set of the amazingly adorable Valentine's cards of my childhood! All thanks to Vintage Hollow's shop on Etsy! She was a joy to work with, so I definitely recommend checking out all the cool stuff in her shop full of flashbacks!
And speaking of amazingly adorable Valentine's cards of my childhood, I'm sharing my favorites that I have received from family, friends and classmates over the years! All you fellow '80s babies may notice some familiar faces...Alf, Garfield, Nermal, Odie, Cabbage Patch Kids, Shirt Tales, Strawberry Shortcake, Big Bird and of course Barbie!

With all this talk of how much I love my Barbie Valentines, the Joan Walsh Anglund card has to be my favorite. It's from my late grandmother. She was a special lady.
All the love to y'all this Valentine's Day! And remember...
