Postcards for the Weekend #24 - Love
The theme for this week's Postcards for the Weekend is "Love". With Valentines Day just a few days ahead we thought maybe this old card from our collection would fill the bill. How do you like it?

Wow John! Really pretty photos here every time! And that postcard is just perfect for our theme! The rhyme of forever through life riding side by side is so appropriate for the illustration on this card with beautiful vintage design. Thanks for sharing :)
