VINTAGE GREETING CARDS

Oh such a wonderful find with these sweet vintage greeting cards.  It’s a pile of about 30 — birthday, quite a few graduation, a few get well cards, from the 1930′s on up until about the 1970′s.

Here’s a pop-up from the 1940′s.
There are so many more super neat ones with glitter and feathers and foil mirrors. Just so so neat. I have absolutely no idea what I’ll do with these, but I just couldn’t pass them up. They were headed for the garbage — if you can believe that!
Perhaps I’ll list them in the supply category of Etsy. Someone crafty should know what to make with these lovelys!

    My mom just gave me a box of my baby stuff that has a lot of cards like this, and I was born in 1967! I think things stayed the same for about 25 years!
    I’ll be posting my Christmas in July Giveaway soon. Looks like you’ve got a few others doing it, too, which is great; the more traffic the better! Will you be posting links to everyone’s giveaways as we put them up?
