Valentine Pockets

For years I've been gathering old lace and linens, hankies and ribbon.
Pretty bits and pieces from flea markets, thrift shops and estate sales.
Perfect for making Valentine pockets.
 Scraps of vintage papers for writing a little love note are in each pocket.
 There are antique photos and tiny doilies.
 Very old buttons made of glass and pearl.
 Broken jewelry bits and sewing notions.
 Hat pins and
 tattered hankies.
 Bits of old wedding gowns.
Some have pockets in the front and some are in the back.
Some are for hanging up and some are for wearing.
I love how all the layers of fabric and lace look all tattered and torn and pretty.
These are almost ready for shipping out to loved ones.
