In honor of Card and Letter Writing Month, I dug through my big box of stationery and cards and found my vintage cards.To tell you the truth, I don't remember where they all came from. Some were in my Granny's things, and some I bought at thrift stores.
I don't know much about vintage greeting cards, so I really don't know how old they are. Only one, the card with the little angel sitting on a mushroom writing a letter, is dated, and it says MCMLV, which is 1955. And, the engagement card is obviously from the 1970s, I'm guessing. I remember when those cards were popular. In fact, images such as that were on all sorts of things, spiral notebooks, necklace pendants, bracelet charms, etc.
Somewhere, I have several vintage Christmas cards, too. I've never quite figured out what to do with them. I've thought of framing them and arranging the framed cards in a grouping on the wall. But, I've never gotten around to that. I have duplicates of some of the cards, so I could send some with letters or use them in collages.
Does anyone collect old cards? If you have any, how do you display them? Why do you collect them?
Give me some ideas!
