Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Nostalgic greetings!

Today I am being a bit indulgent and sharing a few baby girl cards, since I am celebrating my birthday today.
As my husband so kindly told a shopkeeper in an antique store we were visiting today, I am an antique.

Even though he was correct, he didn't need to say it out loud, did he? :) But in all seriousness, he DID take me antiquing all day and made my birthday VERY special! Too bad Valentine's Day is over because I picked up some adorable Valentines today! I'll just have to blog about those in 2015!

So, let me share a few of my favorite baby cards.

                            This one is actually from 1953, so it is actually 10 years older than I am.

                       

                             
This is a classic baby girl card, with the flocked baby blanket, giving it that fuzzy texture.

                                              This one features flocked baby booties.

And finally, I HAD to feature at least one stork card!

Stay nostalgic, and keep checking in to see my cards. Love viewing the greeting cards? Remember, you can always subscribe and get an email everyime I post new cards. 

Nostalgically yours, 

An older (and wiser?!) Mary

Nostalgic greetings AND Top of the Mornin' to Ya!

Since it will soon be St Patty's Day, today I am posting the only St Patty's Day card that I own. I actually just purchased this one  last weekend at a quaint little shop in the Cincinnati area called The Covered Bridge.

                                                  This one is hand-dated 1947.

                 I like Pat's letter on the back from his Aunt Meta, so I had to share it too.

In case you're like me and don't know what Begorrah means, see the definition below from dictionary.reference.com

Stay nostalgic,

March is here!

Nostalgic greetings!

It is hard to believe that it is already March. This month I am featuring cards for 3 year olds since it is the 3rd month. I may also have a few other surprises as the month goes by. I personally have always loved March because it is the month I was born and it marks the beginning of spring.

Here are some of my 3 year old cards. I don't have as many 3 year old cards as I do some of the other years. I am going to have to search for more when I am antiquing this spring and summer.

This one features a metal button that says 3 years old.

This one is hand marked 1950

This one also features a metal button that says 3 years old. it has a real 3-D quality and really looks like a stuffed horse.

This one is hand marked 1950, and is from Hallmark.

this one is from Wishing Well Greetings.

 That's all for now. Here's hoping for spring, right around the corner. I'm becoming nostalgic for warmer weather, devoid of snow and ice.
