Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge of peasant and peasant atmospheres

of peasant and peasant atmospheres relived with ingenuity and sincere passion

and just love the combination of intricacy and graphicness to all of these hand-drawn patterns

I've been paying attention to old carved spoons lately

including how the trees and leafy branches and smoke from the chimney all lean in the same direction

Seven stacked layers of carved wood for the hearts and triangular forms all the way around

Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge of peasant and peasant atmospheresJust a pair of little handmade valentines, which, between those fancy scalloped edges and crayoned hearts, I find hugely satisfying. There is writing in graphite inside, a little hard to read against the green, but one was definitely addressed to Grandma. There is a bit of a sheen to the green paper. 3 1 8" x 3 ea, closed. Good condition, early 20th c. I believe.
