To all you Ravin' Mavens, from me, the former DJ Cherrybomb... you are ROCKIN'!

To all you Ravin’ Mavens, from me, the former DJ Cherrybomb… you are ROCKIN’!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, Mavens!!! I hope that everyone is being showered with love, no matter who it’s from — lover, sweetheart, children, family, friends, or secret admirer (#hubbahubba)! Cupid visited our humble headquarters in the night and left Mini Maven all kinds of little lovebug tokens of sweetness for my “Loverbuggers Baby”. Our extended family all sent lovely valentines with pink & red goodies galore, also. Last night our whole ravin’ household went out to dinner at this FAB new joint called Back in the Day Cafe, which was chockablock with wicked funtastic retro artifacts from the 50s through the 90s — it was grand & a real high time! This morning Darling Hotbuns & I attended Mini Maven’s Valentine’s Day Breakfast & Books CelebrationΒ at school (that was a splendiferous way to kick off the day, even though we already started our festivities last night ::beam::). Mini Maven has her Valentines all filled out for her classmates & comrades, as well as some sugary treats & a heartfelt Valentine froggy covered in hearts for her teacher. Darling Hotbuns & I are exchanging lovey-dovey fun stuffs tonight after Mini Maven & I do holiday crafts & make red velvet cupcakes! This is shaping up to be the very BEST Valentine’s Day EVER!

So, for all of you dear darlings, I have collected a series of fun vintage Valentine’s that signified my kinds of Valentine greetings to you. #smitten I think you’ll see why I chose the ones I did, and have a magically delicious day of LOVE, Dollfaces!

From the typewriter-collecting, overly verbose Mama Maven to all you dearhearts!

Can't have a vintage Valentine without a futuristic nerd reference!

One of these days I will have my Vespa, but for now I will give you one on a Valentine. :)

One of these days I *WILL* have my Vespa (with a sidecar for Mini Maven, of course!), but for now I will give you one on a Valentine. πŸ™‚

Keep calm & LOVE on, Mavens!
