Love Is....
Love Is......
The "love is" theme was extremely popular in the late 60's/early 70's. Pictures of these two adorable sad-eyed kids were EVERYWHERE. They were on jewelry, school supplies, posters, statues, pillows, blankets, dishes, shirts, and every other thing you can imagine. Everyone loved them. They were sort of the precursor to the much more expensive Hallmark "Precious Moments" craze that came just a little later. Every one of them had a different "love is" sentiment so you could find one that matched specific things you loved about the important people in your life. They were really cute, even if they did saturate the market just a bit. I had forgotten all about them until I came across them online which is surprising because I was a big fan and I had tons of "love is" items when I was growing up. I thought they were adorable and very, very sweet.
