To My Love, Old Crayoned Valentine from Alice with Woven Paper Heart Corners carved alabaster The sculpture measures 6 inchesIt may be Halloween season, but in my book it's always time for a Valentine, and I could never wait until February to share one as charming as this, made by Alice for her Aunt Hazel a hundred years or so ago I'd guess. I love the big bold red crayoned heart, but the woven paper hearts at the corners make it especially special. 5 1 4" x 4 1 6" and in good condition, bright and bold, with a little loss to the top right woven heart.
