Dear friend,
Thank you so much for shopping at Alison Rose Vintage. I’m Alison Rose and I define myself as an old soul with a generous heart. I’m deeply passionate about words and giving. I’ve been mailing letters, cards, and gifts to family and friends on a regular basis for 25 years, forming very special bonds. I started this business to help you connect with your loved ones as well.
I was born and raised in West Virginia, lived in Ohio and Massachusetts for many years, and now reside in East Tennessee near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In addition to pouring my heart and soul into Alison Rose Vintage, I also love to snuggle my dog, read, volunteer, and explore beautiful places.
Keep in touch with me on social media @alisonrosevintage.
With love,
Alison Rose

Sometimes people will say that Valentine’s Day was created by greeting card companies just to make money. But the first mention of Valentine’s Day was actually in one of Geoffrey Chaucer’s poems from the 1380’s—over 500 years before Hallmark existed. In fact, way before manufactured cards and boxes of chocolate, people exchanged poems, love letters, and handmade cards for virtually no money at all. Read how to show your love on Valentine's Day for less than $1.00.
