Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge
Romance

This vintage photo of the boy and girl just looked so romantic to me, I knew I had to use it for the weekly challenge at Inspiration Avenue. They appear to be dreaming about their future together, and who knows if they will end up together or if cruel circumstances will force them apart? They could be like Romeo and Juliet, or maybe they grew old together and had many children and grandchildren! The story could go in so many directions!  The swan seems romantic to me, maybe because his neck is half a heart.

If it is too small to read, the heart says . . ..

Your voice is sweetest music
I never can forget,
Someday I hope to hear it
Say something sweeter yet

. . . and came from an old valentine.

Visit Inspiration Avenue Sunday afternoon to see all of the romantic entries  for this week. If you are feeling creative, join in next week (theme to be announced on Monday) with an entry of your own. The medium is up to you ~ there is photography, jewelry, paintings, and more. If you work in another medium, we'd be excited to add something new to the mix!

  1. They look a bit like Heidi and her goatherd Peter to me - so lots of lovely children and grandchildren! I must say all this romance is making me feel a bit soppy! Perhaps I'll watch a good old romance tonight on TV - maybe You've got mail...

  3. Lisa, I like the idea of Heidi and Peter. Yes, that's who they are!

    Luthien, you're right, the people in vintage photos do look more romantic. And I don't know why...
