About This Design
Portuguese valentine's love handkerchiefs magnet
This folk design is inspired by one of the most popular Portuguese folk-art patterns. It's a hand-embroidered Valentine's message in symbols and words but today we can find it in clothes, shoes, also in tablecloths and kitchen towels, and accessories. Lenços dos Namordos or sweetheart’s favors or Sweethearts´ handkerchiefs, - also known as Love handkerchiefs - are an old girly Portuguese tradition. It dates maybe from the 17th century. In Northern Portugal, in the Minho region, embroidered handkerchiefs were used in the flirting or conquest of a man's love. They were a romantic public declaration. The handkerchiefs' squares were made of linen or cotton and had embroidered messages dedicated by a young woman to the man she is in love with. The woman would send it to the man and, if her love was returned, he would use the handkerchief in public. In case he didn´t, the girl's romantic dream was over. Often the handkerchiefs have rhyme and misspellings in cursive handwriting because women were not enough schooled so they would write like they spoke, and married young. These motifs mean reproduction (branches), love (dove, heart), the union (the key that unites two hearts), loyalty (dog), and nostalgia (messenger pigeon with envelope and ship). You can also find blackberry vines, bouquets, butterflies, religious symbols, etc. Linen is embroidered in cross stitch, running, and stem stitches. This charming Portuguese tradition inspired this product that is ideal for romantic couples or any romantic celebration, for example, Valentine’s Day, Wedding Anniversaries, Romantic Birthdays, or for any occasion when one feels like surprising a sweetheart, a wife or maybe a mother or a sister, with a sweet and loving surprise.

Amazing we could get such a cool CUSTOMIZED softball magnet for such an affordable price...like $3.50 I think?! Of course my granddaughter loved it with her own initials printed on her favorite sports ball! Perfect, exactly as it looks online.

The magnets are very well made and the magnet on the back of the design takes up most of the surface area which results in a strong bond with your fridge. If you are using this to hold up papers, shopping lists, etc, it does an excellent job. I was very pleased with how this turned out. The lines are sharp, the design is clear and a clear protective coating or cover keeps the design well protected so if needed it can be wiped clean without damaging the design. I would highly recommend.
