Last year around this time I did a Valentines day post with several vintage images of couples “In love” during the 1940s and 1950s. For today’s post since we are close again to that special Love Day, I thought that I would do a part 2. Mainly because I have been seeing so many really great photos that I just HAD to share with you (you know me and my weakness for great vintage photos). Lets take a peak at what I have found.

That’s a better looking bachelor than the one on TV. What a “hoot!”
Lol I have to agree with you!
That last photo made me beam ear-to-ear. Valentine’s Day needs a lighthearted side, IMO, and that delivered it big time! 🙂
