Be Mine & Love is Divine

Nostalgia is finding value within the little moments and our larger memories. As a member of the Photomyne family, we know the past holds a special place in your heart, and we welcome you to our weekly newsletter of nostalgic photos.

Amour. Liebe. 爱. Amor. любовь. Love. Today, February 14th, is Valentine's Day, our yearly chance to share the love and tell our favorite people just how much we care about them. Originally a religious feast day, Valentine's Day became the holiday of love in the 13th century and has since evolved into one of the biggest international celebrations of love and romance.

We knew Valentine's Day was popular, but did you know that an estimated 145 million Valentine's Day cards are sent each year? The holiday has definitely become one of the world's most anticipated events. And although Valentine's Day is marketed as a couple's holiday, Valentine's Day is ultimately about celebrating love and affection in all its forms, the perfect opportunity to send a card, give a box of chocolates, or support your favorite local flower shop to tell your loved ones exactly what they mean to you.

So, will you be our valentine and tell us your favorite Valentine's Day memories?
