The postcards are from the collection of letters that my grandfather sent to my grandmother while in France during WWII. He did not write on these, but sent them per her request for some pictures of the buildings in France.
Doesn't the Eiffel tower just shout, "Je T'aime!"
The small pitcher came from Homegoods.

There's no place more romantic than Paris in Springtime is there?
Beautiful roses, such a deep gorgeous colour, I imagine they are sweetly perfumed, n'est pas?
Ohh la la!

Christie, The postcards are wonderful, but especially so since you know they were sent from your grandfather to your grandmother. Love the little pitcher. Thanks for linking. laurie
How pretty, the the rose-filled pitcher is beautiful. The postcards are such a sweet and lovely memory.
Wow, what a great story to go with those postcards, something you will treasure forever. The pitcher is absolutely gorgeous, I wish I had as much luck as you all do finding these great treasures.
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
A lovely nostalgic Romantic Valentine vignette... the postcards do evoke Romance and the Love your Grandfather obviously had for your Grandmother... and Roses, well, they speak the language of Romance ANY day of the year! *winks*
Happy Valentine's Day... Dawn... The Bohemian
