I've Got You Under My Skin

 Bonsoir! Valentine's Day is on its way and I thought it would be a great opportunity to share some of my favourite love cards with you, the following are from the 1930s and come from a french lady's quirky and very beautifully presented postcard book. I absolutely adore them! It is a shame that the "love letter tradition" is almost extinct, I can't imagine how she must have felt when looking back on these amazing pieces of memory! 

This is one of the sweetest cards I have ever seen, written by a young boy:

"Mademoiselle Madeline I am sending you this card which I hope you will like and that you will see that I'm thinking of you, Roland told me to write this card because he wants us to start seeing each-other, with love,

Victor Briard. 

VB♡MB for life"

I wanted to finish this post with a couple of lovely edwardian postcards:

Dear gentlemen, forget the flowers and start creating some beautiful cards for your ladies!

 I Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day?

Love,

♡

A Vintage Wonderland

As promised, here are a few pictures from our last trip to France! My parents have been collecting vintage items since I can remember and I thought it would be nice to share some photographs of their house for our first 'home interior' post, hope you like them :)

I love houses that have the right balance of modern and vintage, it always seems hard not to overdo things and I guess that furnishing and decorating a house can take years but it's such an exciting process.  I cannot wait until we have our own house, our flat is amazing but I find renting it a little frustrating, I guess the fact that your place isn't really yours is always at the back of your mind, for now we'll just have to keep on gathering as many ideas as possible! I've been coming across the most inspirational interior photographs both on the internet and magazines, I'll have to share them with you very soon along with more pictures from our last trip! 

Sweet dreams,

A very sleepy Margaux
