You brought me here to fish, not to kiss!


Under the picture:
Her-- You have brought me here to fish and not to kiss!
Him-- Ah! When I see you so splendid with youth, with your big smiling eyes and your cherry lips, can I remember why we have come?! I can only recall a desire, that to kiss you a thousand times!
Written on card:
Hello to the whole family!

Do excuse my rusty translation there, but I got the gist of it. What a lovely romantic postcard!



My Valentine's Day was spent kissing AND fishing-- for junk at yardsales and thrift stores all day. It was the perfect alternative to the usual cheesy fuss which I'm not that in to. Here are some of my catches!



Cute little granny purse, found at Value Village.

These gloves are real true actual PRADA. I got them at a yardsale-- the woman said someone gave them to her but she felt too scared to ever wear them out and was finally getting rid of them. Now that I have them, I'm starting to feel the same!
Adorable penny loafers!!

your v-day outfit is adorable! You look so super cute!
And why are you afraid of wearing the prada gloves?

haha, thanks Dearilou! And about the gloves- I have never owned anything really designer, so I feel a little star struck in the presence of Prada if that makes sense! I'm sure I'll get over it when it gets cold enough.

Beautiful locket, and neat postcard too!

Please don't worry about the gloves, wear the crap outta them!! It's a waste of nice stuff. Also, I have very similar loafers and I live in em. :-)

I'd love to see you in my vintage penny loafers. Go to frankietrotters fifties penny loafers on flickr. Let me know if you like 'em. Frankie PS I think women in penny loafers are exceptionally sexy.

What a terrific card! And that sounds like the perfect way to spend Valentine's day! Love the outfit too- just the right about of pink and red ;)

Thanks for reading fellow pretty people, I hope you all had equally charming and lucrative valentine's days! And Eyeliah, you are so right of course, I will wear those prada gloves until they are thread bare... Mostly I fear losing them, as I often end up with a mess of single orphaned mateless gloves by the end of winter.
