I remember the days when we actually used to get them hand-delivered to our door from our neighborhood friends... we used to wait anxiously that day for the 'ring and run,' and then we'd know to look on the porch for a card and/or a treat! Fun.
I actually go back far enough that we used to make our own valentines. Our mom would buy fancy paper, paper doillies, ribbons, and stickers. And yes, they were hand delivered onto the porch.
I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.
