A dedication to love

My Love will be performing in Amsterdam. A new recordcompany Appletree records flew him over. Woohoo. I'm happy. Our hearts can hug again.

Dedicating love i scanned a couple of stickers from my old "Love is ..." sticker album from when i was still a little girl. I never made it to collecting all the stickers needed to fill the album, but i do got plenty to enjoy going through the pages. I must say there is a lot of old fashioned believes portrayed in the illustrations. Woman stays at home, cleans after the hardworking man. But then in other illustrations it makes up for that by honoring the woman and spending time together.

Kim Casali created 'Love Is...' back in the late 1960's when she drew the little pictures as love notes for her husband-to-be

Since most of my blogvisitors don't read or speak Dutch, let's translate, we go from left to right, top to bottom.

Love is ...
"... being a good listener."
"... listening even though you don't believe it."
"... finding a moment to call her all the time."
"... typing loveletters instead of invoices."
"... someone to cuddle all night."
"... celebrating your first anniversary and looking forward to the 25th."

Hi

I stopped by your page looking for Love is and found the cute panels you have scanned. I collect Love is and I was wondering if by any chance you have your sticker collection scanned. If you do and would like to trade please contact me. I have Love is from different years and would love to be able to own a few of the Dutch sticker scans.

Thank you,

Ivonne

I was searching for some stuff of "love is..." sticker album, when i found your blog. Really amazing! I also collect them when i was like 7years old..now i am 20 and i would like to see them again on the stores. My mom told me that when she was also a little girl, that album existed. So, i am just waiting for the day that this amazing album return. And believe me,,,i will be the first in the line to buy them.
