Happy Family - Happy Pink Saturday

This card was in my darling little Grammie's collection. She kept every baby card she received--including my brothers, sisters and cousins (1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins). I believe this one was for one of our cousins.

Happy Pink Saturday!

Thank you for sharing your pink card today, that your precious Grammy had kept all these years. I love that the card was to The Family. Cards today do not share this at all. The say welcome your baby girl or boy. Not near as beautiful as they were years ago.

Thank you for sharing. I love seeing the vintage cards that each share now and then. This is one of the sweetest ones yet.

Have a beautiful Pink Saturday sweetie. May it be filled with sunshine and happiness. Country hugs..>Sherry; May 1, 2010 at 9:34 AM

Hearts and Flowers

I have collected vintage cards, fairytale books, postcards, old photos and art pieces since I was a small girl.

Even before I could read, I spent hours looking at old cards, coloring books and illustrations in my fairytale story books. I am sure my love for art and even my own drawing stylings came from my fascination with them.

Mail was so rare, I saved every card and letter I received as a child. Some of those nostalgic items will be shared on this blog.

Quite a few of the vintage pieces I have collected reflect the life and times of history itself. The cards, postcards, antique photos and art from my collection are dated from the late 1800's, through WW2. Many of these old cards come from our darling little Grandmother Jenny. I have also included some items from the early 1950's which were given to me by my precious Gramma Gladys and dearest Nita.

In a very real way, this Blog is my way of honoring these marvelous inspiring artists and the ongoing influence they've had in my life.

I hope you will enjoy the beauty, tremendous skill and sometimes whimsical work of these long-gone artists as much as I have over the years.
