Valentine cards
« on: February 14, 2011, 10:26:14 AM »

Today is Valentine's (lovers/friends) day in the US and I guess in many other countries. For some reason, Valentine spintop cards seem to have been very popular and are much more common than spintop cards for Easter, Christmas, New Year, etc.

Here are some of my favorite ones (there are many others):

















I only own the last one but I have higher resolution images of several if anybody is interested.

These are great, Jorge.  You are truly a man who loves love and loves tops.  These cards confirm that.

I will print one out and add to it to give to my wife tonight.....but I don't think I will use that one with the whip!

Valentine day is almost gone, but I'll add another Valentine card to last year's collection (although not as cute):

The spinster one cracks me up.

Why be a spinster......because it is better than not being one!

Do you give the one you own to Beatriz every year? That is adorable if you do. Or, maybe, she is tired of all of the tops.

She does not want me to give her gifts that "are really for me".   ::) If she accepted spintop Valentine cards I would do that every year . . .

From WordWeb:
Noun: spinster [spinstur]
1. An elderly unmarried woman
2. Someone who spins (who twists fibers into threads)

Someone who spins, what's bad about that?

Thanks for the wishes and for adding to the collection, Jim.

Here is another one that is somewhat spintop-related:



But this is definitely STR:



Happy Valentine everybody!
