Retro? Vintage? Cards........
Ooooooh I have been drooling for days. When I was first offered these, I had no idea what I would get, except that they were a box of old cards. from the 1950’s and 60’s
When I opened the box.....the smell of old......and aged envelopes
So I was going to chop them up for crafting, but when I saw them....nooooooooway, they are just too beautiful, and the sentiments inside.....so lovely
So I have decided to sell them. I will keep some for myself.
I have some mostly multiples of some, and a couple of single ones
I will price them between £3.00-£6.00 each, and will price them but just wanted to show them off. They are old, so please, some of them are a little bent, but in really good condition. The envelopes are aged..you will see the picture
Drool, drool, drool...if you like.........there are 88 different designs!!!
I'm a bit like you, I bought some 1940s and 50s Women's Illustrated magazines for crafting but couldn't bear to cut them up so I now have them casually laid around my house!
ReplyDeleteMy Godmother has an antiques barn and she has some lovely old cards, postcards, letters invoices and the like
Take care

THANK YOU ROOBY - I'M AMAZED HOW MANY OF THESE I ACTUALY HAVE IN MY CASE OF FAMILY CARDS,THAT WERE KEPT MY DEAR DAD WHEN WE MOVED HIM IN WITH US WHEN HE BECAME ILL, IT WAS SO STRANGE SEEING CARDS I'D WRITTEN TO FAMILY AND OVER THE YEARS THEY HAD COME BACK TO MY DAD. I'D HOPED YOU HAD GOT SOME OLDER ONES. BUT DO REALISE THOSE ARE GETTING MORE DIFFICULT TO GET, AND I REGRET USING SOME OF THE THE VERY OLD CHRISTMAS CARDS I HAD FROM HALMARK FROM THE 50'S OF THE 'FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOUR HOUSE' AS I REALISED THE PEOPLE I SENT THEM TOO DID NOT APRECIATE THEM. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THEM WITH ME, IT STILL MAKES ME LAUGH HOW IN THOSE DAYS WE SENT CARDS ONLY - TO 'MOTHER AND BABY'!! WHERE AS NOW WE SEND IT TO THE WHOLE FAMILY OF COURSE MUM+DAD AND THE NEW BABY AND ANY BIG BROTHER AND SISTERS GET INCLUDED. HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED, AND THE SUCESS CARDS HAVE CHILDREN WITH CIGARS IN THEIR HANDS. OMG. TAKE CARE SWEETIE HUGS BARBARA IN BEDLAND XXX
