Fun with Figurines Valentine's Day Display

With Valentine's Day just a month away, a young man's thoughts turn to love...




And a pretty girl waits to be courted.




Sometimes the right guy and the right girl meet, fall in love,



and live happily ever after.






The young man and woman are vintage figurines from a collection in my china cabinet.  I photographed the figurines laying down side by side earlier today on red wrapping paper.  I printed the photo on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.

Obviously I had some time on my hands.  But isn't it fun to dream of happy endings?

I don't see their chaperone in that picture. Tsk, tsk. Aren't they standing a little close? And you photographed them lying down together? Scandalous! The town will be a buzz with gossip. hee, hee. I've been reading Georgette Hayer lately. Can you tell? If you don't know of her stories, they are set in old England when propriety ruled.

I kept wondering how in the world did she find a picture of the exact figurines!
They kinda remind me of ones my mom used to have. They were George and Martha...yellow and black and I have looked for 40 years for some!
