Just a Note...

This is a card from the late 1950's, part of the collection given to me by my darling Gramma Gladys. I adore the loyal little pooch with his ear up. He's listening to the notes and seems to like what he's hearing.  I especially love the musical aspect of this precious card.  This is a note from a friend which brings melody to one's heart.

Friends who bring music into our lives--not just the kind we hear with our ears--but the music of a smile, words of encouragement, prayer, hugs, and loving kindnesses, are rare and wonderful. 

My sweet Friends--you know who you are--how I thank God for YOU!

Christmas Notes

This is a card which was sent to me in the 1970's. I adore this little elf and his appreciative audience.

A Merry Christmas note to you!

Ah, 'Tis the Harpist!

I adore art Nouveau. This is an illustration I simply could not resist. I love this style--in fact, I yearn to draw this way. There is something so graceful, so lovely about the flowers, hair and women of this period, which fascinates me.

Art Nouveau features "organic, especially floral and other plant-inspired motifs, as well as highly-stylized, flowing curvilinear forms." Ah, inspiration, indeed!

Friends Like You

Here is another card from our Darling Grandma Jenny's collection. This beauty was from her dear friend Ruth.

There is a kind of music to friendship. A cadence, a lovely rich melody which resounds throughout life. The truth is, friendship puts color to the music of our lives.

Indeed--I am so blessed by YOUR friendship. You know who you are, my dears. You put the music into living.
