Or do I need an inhaler? Apparently, I need two since this winter has given me the flu and a very unsexy cough that won\u2019t seem to go away but I digress. February is the month of LOVE. What better place than the Alameda Point Antiques Faire to find something sentimental for your beloved? If the romantic holiday fills you with dread, don\u2019t despair; woo yourself for Valentines Day. After all, who knows you better? Find yourself the perfect love gift. Here are some shopping suggestions I gave in the latest issue of The Point Magazine (Feb\/2011) for you\u00a0retro lovers to get in the vintage Valentine spirit at The Point. Because February 14th will be here before\tyou know it.<\/p>\n<p>Ladies, wear a frilly frock with\u00a0a vintage apron with heart shaped pockets and concoct some love for his tummy. Find some vintage bakeware at the point, such as cupcake pans &amp; an old vintage rolling pin, (like one I found \u00a0at The Point with red handles) and head to the kitchen. Even if you\u2019re single, bake some cupcakes for the office or your neighbors and add some pink frosting &amp; heart shaped sprinkles. Spread the love all around. Here are some ideas to get your heart racing (as if antiquing isn\u2019t enough).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_280\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-280\" href=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/vintage-fashion-faire\/flirty-tips-trends-funny-valentine\/attachment\/22006\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-280\" title=\"22006\" src=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/22006-440x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/22006-440x480.jpg 440w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/22006-137x150.jpg 137w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/22006-550x600.jpg 550w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/22006.jpg 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 50&#39;s apron like this one can be found at Alameda Point (Sold online at Heavenly Lingerie)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Buy vintage love letters and postcards. Sending an email to your object of affection with the subject line: BE MINE is not romantic! Set your flame\u2019s heart on fire the old fashioned way, with a love letter. Use someone else\u2019s prose to convey your true feelings, but it\u2019s even better than a Hallmark card.<\/p>\n<p>Vintage books with love stories or poems can bring out the romantic side. Imagine reading each other old tomes by the fire.\u00a0Pick up some vintage wine glasses and buy a vintage bottle of wine at your local wine store and read each other something written\u00a0in a bygone era.<\/p>\n<p>Heart Shaped Vintage Valentine Candy Boxes\u00a0are collectible because they make us feel nostalgic for our first loves and remain popular today. The old boxes are so beautiful and are a great way to store love letters, or odds &amp; ends. I recommend storing your vintage hankies or gloves. Whatever you use them for, heart shaped boxes make pretty displays. The older boxes, back in the day, used to be filled with chocolates made with secret family recipes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_281\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-281\" href=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/vintage-fashion-faire\/flirty-tips-trends-funny-valentine\/attachment\/6a00e553a4097c88340120a802d540970b-500wi\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-281\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-281\" title=\"6a00e553a4097c88340120a802d540970b-500wi\" src=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e553a4097c88340120a802d540970b-500wi-440x414.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e553a4097c88340120a802d540970b-500wi-440x414.jpg 440w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e553a4097c88340120a802d540970b-500wi-150x141.jpg 150w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e553a4097c88340120a802d540970b-500wi.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-281\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Look for vintage Valentine candy boxes at the Alameda Point Antiques Faire (Such Pretty Things)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t tried vintage lingerie, Valentines is the perfect excuse to give it a whirl.
