Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

This cute Valentine is from my collection of vintage postcards and ephemera. The artist is Bernhardt Wall, his art was popular for post cards in the early 1900's. There is a large selection of Valentine's items at my store at Magnolia Vintage. I hope you'll take a peek!

This post card was sent to my grandfather from his neighbour. The village of Milden, Saskatchewan is a small farming community. My grandparents, Emma (CLARK) and George JOHNSON (a.k.a. JOHNSTON) moved to Milden in 1905 and were one of the first pioneering families. They lived in a sod house from 1905 until 1908. I still have cousins living in Milden. The 2006 Census Canada recorded a population of 172.
