Use of Our Images and Text
We've found many of our images and blocks of out text on Facebook, other social networking sites, and blogs. We do appreciate the interest and don't mind but PLEASE give credit to the VintageValentineMueum.com for any of our images or quotes you post. A link is a FAB way to do that and very much appreciated.
No commercial use of our photos or text is permitted. Be advised that many of these valentines are not actually old enough to be considered "in the public domain" yet and my photos of these cards are certainly not "in the public domain."
Please, I appeal to your sense of fair play, be respectful of the time, effort and money spent that the writing and collection of images here represent. If you wish to re-blog our text or images or otherwise re-publish them on the web or in print, please do NOT use them IF you are unwilling to credit this site for them. It only takes a second to give proper credit for what I have freely shared with you.
