Hello Handmade is offering these wonderful valentines this year. The handwritten, hand-painted valentines are inspired by Jane Austen with their elaborate folding and a wax seal. Each valentine features Shanna Murray's illustrated swallows as well as a personalized, customizable note penned in Betsy Dunlap's calligraphy.

Alternatively, artist Mara Zepeda is also offering hand-calligraphed valentines. She "believe(s) that mail (and writing by hand) matters." Currently, she's offering some beautifully calligraphed and vintage postage adorned valentines for sale via her Etsy shop, neithersnow. I really like that she lets you pick the postage suite for your valentine.
