Valentina Story

Item #5297

(February, 1996) Even good witches celebrate Valentine’s Day! Valentina is a matchmaker who uses sweet hearts to put sweethearts together. In her hands are two “Soul Mates,” and other candy hearts by her long, black skirt say “Love,” “Hug Me,” and “Be True.” These tiny conversation hearts have been around since 1902 and are printed with over 100 different messages, including “Love” in 27 languages! Valentine’s Day is Valentina’s favorite holiday, and her witch hat is decorated with a big red heart. This good witch wears heart-shaped earrings, and if you look deep into her eyes, you’ll see even more hearts. Her lucky coin is a Delaware Bridge token, for she is the bridge that brings lonely hearts together.
