Southern Valentine
|February 13, 2015|
It’s not that Southern love is necessarily any better than other regions . . .
we just have a different way of expressing it.
“Gimme’ some sugar” isn’t about the white granular substance you buy in a bag at Piggly Wiggly.
And of course, Rhett Butler had a way with words (swoon).
(Thanks, Margret Mitchell).
And there are many years on the Gulf Coast (like this year) our Valentine’s wishes are crossed with Mardi Gras wishes.
So honey-pie . . .
 enjoy your holiday, with someone you love.

Swoon! I love that line from GWTW 🙂
Yes, it takes some of the steam out of it, knowing that a woman really wrote the line, but the way Clark Gable delivers it, always gives me a chill down my spine!
In my NC house, I covered walls in a guest bath with framed antique Valentines. Your post made me nostalgic but I think I sold all of them. Happy Valentines Day!
What a pretty idea! I remember my grandmother having a box of old Valentines like this I used to sit and look through like they were a magazine. I truly detest the “new” flimsy, non-imaginative Valentines they have in stores now! That makes me a Valentine’s Day Grinch, I guess.
I agree I collect old valentines and I just love them. With all the technology today why
can’t they make beautiful ones like they used to.
I think you’re on to something, Judy! Certainly, some company somewhere makes beautiful Valentines!
I love all the Southern valentine, especially the one saying “You’re the butter in my grits”. 🙂
Hope you have a great Valentine’s Day.
Thanks, sugah pie, you too!
Cute,cute Valentine post. I love that picture of you and Lois Lane. It always makes me smile.
That Lois is such a ham!
What a perfectly delightful post! I adore the seashell heart.
Have a beautiful day dear one!
Thanks. Those are actually shells I’ve found on our local beaches, and I took the photo on top of an old trunk I have.
Oh my gosh, loving these southern valentines! Butter on my grits is just too darn cute!! And how clever is the word shawl? lol!
hugs,
Jann
Great southern Valentine’s greetings. I happen to think it just doesn’t get any better!
Sending FSC a big hug…………………
Adorable Leslie Anne, we can’t help it if life is just better in the South 🙂 Love your sea shell and Mardi Gras hearts, and the new Mardi-tines Day holiday!!
