Near our house is a hole-in-the-wall antique store (a description that is nothing short of accurate). Among the smokiness and the clutter inside is a treasure trove of neat little knick-knacks and other cool finds. Last weekend, I came across a pack of stationery and greeting cards presumably having all belonged to the same recipient, a mother who kept her correspondence saved together for years and years.
Among them were birthday cards from 1920s, 30s and 40s, including cards she may have held onto to give with her own gifts...like the one featured above. Maybe it's because our Gravy Kid Wavey is also four, but I found this card to be really interesting. For its time, the card is very intricate with die cutting, multiple colors, shimmery paper, and even a little cut out for a peek-a-boo cat inside:
More photos of my vintage treasure to come.
