Antique Envelope of 14 Golden X's is vintage bowling pins I couldn't resist the graphicsPerhaps my favorite find of the week a very old envelop with this beautiful inked X across the face of it, and 14 paper thin golden brass X's inside. Perhaps these were left over from cut stencils, or perhaps they were cut to use as templates, I am not sure, but they strike me as perfect valentines now or the perfect single valentine, with the 14 of them serendipitously corresponding to the 14th of February. Just lovely and like a very special feeling
