My Aunt is a thrift store extraordinaire...
all I have to do is tell her I would like something and she gets it for me for next to nothing.
I am blessed!
She has my list... which includes
Arts and Craft Supplies
Stickers/paper for the computer
Small tables
Scrabble Games
Lawn chairs
Pfaltzgraff Filigree
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry
The other day she dropped off a whole bag chock full of computer papers and inside were just a few of these note cards...
I imagine a mom having these back in the 1970's writing a sweet letter to her son away at college... or a young girl using them to write to her sweetheart who was serving our country.
I am so grateful to my Aunt who saved them from the thrift shop!
They are awesome!!!
The daisy ones came with stickers for the seal
The mod flower ones are dated 1974 in roman numerals ~ the year I was born!
I am so excited to use them and to share them...
I am giving away 2 of each card to someone who shares my love of card writing...
just leave a comment and the hubby will pick a name at random on Wednesday evening!

This too brings me to the topic of SNAIL MAIL...
I personally dislike that term.
Not only is it an insult to the postal service... it is an insult to people like myself who love to send and love to receive cards and postcards in the mail!
So that is why I am participating in a POSTCARD EXCHANGE...
Won't you join us??
Oh and check out this link... it is fun!!
Visiting from New Friend Friday! And yes, I love to send and receive mail too! Nothing like a hand written thank you card :)

I love these little notecards! And mail is my most favorite thing. I love the holidays because I get tons of Christmas cards! I hang them up all over my house. It's awesome. And that cake your mom made---WOW! It looks amazing. Did it taste good, too?? Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi! I'm stopping by from LBS. I love your postcard find! My best friend and I just made a pact to send each other a hand written letter at least once a month. We live 500 miles apart, and while we talk online nearly every day-there's nothing like a handwritten note. Not to mention it's so fun to get mail that isn't bills! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful. I have a favorite thrift store that puts them all out - if there aren't sets they sell them individually. I buy them too and save them in a suitcase for when I need to write a note. I love the top one!!
ReplyDeleteHi these are beautiful. I'm visiting you from New Friend Friday.
ReplyDeleteBut please don't enter me into your drawing.
I am a new follower and I wouldn't feel right.
However, I'll definitely enter another one of your giveaways in the future.
Love your background, too.
Beautiful Cards! I'm feeling lucky because today's my Birthday...Thanks!
