• A Ragtime Valentine Greetings!

   Here’s my Valentine’s greeting to all my Xanga friends. I hope you like Ragtime music and vintage Valentines. These are like the kinds we used to exchange in grade school back in the early 1940′s….Garfield Elementary School. Our teacher always had a  crepe paper covered cardboard box decorated with pink and red hearts on lace paper doilies. We’d all put our cards in the slot on top of the box….with the biggest nicest card for the teacher and our secret crush. I always felt a little sorry for the kids who didn’t get many. I always gave everyone a  card…..even kids who were class troublemakers or who weren’t  clean and didn’t smell very good. Anyway, if you click here, you’ll see some of those old fashioned greeting cards and can even try making some yourself and hope you enjoy them:
