And here with a silver die-cut ribbon just above it, which looks quite a lot in form like ribbon-tied hair wreath memento of the era. I'm just a sucker for these, such pretty and delicate things delivering sweet sentiments. And here a pasted verse on the front and then a handwritten one inside, beginning with this excellent bit: \u003cem\u003eNo rubies on the Indian shore \/ Outshine thy noble mind. \u003c\/em\u003eAnd then, to end: \u003cem\u003eAbsent but not forgotten. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 1\/2\" x 3 5\/8\" closed. Good condition, with one small area of loss to paper leace along left edge near top as visible (a few leaves on the tree I believe.) The pink paper behind it not glued, never was, just inserted. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48307999572222,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_5928_70aea7ae-7d1a-408d-abca-b738a5be5873.jpg?v=1780333147","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/yes-ill-remember-thee-c-1840s-paper-lace-valentine-with-mirror-and-handwritten-verse-inside","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
