Put on your Easter Bonnet!

Nostalgic Easter Greetings!

Today, I want to share a few of my Easter cards. I don't have a lot of these in my collection, but I'm always on the lookout for more! It is antiquing season, so I may get lucky this spring and summer!

I really don't know anything about this one but I thought it was cute.

 It is a one piece flat card, almost like a valentine

                                             This is a Hallmark card from 1947 and has fuzzy flocked bunnies.

                                                 This adorable standup farmer card  is a lot of fun

This Piggy bank card has a lot of dime slots inside.

This is a giant flocked stand up Easter bunny card. 

I don't usually collect such large cards but I was drawn to this one and made an exception

This duckling is "blinged out" with a glittery sequined jacket to add extra sparkle.

                                            I thought this was a darling Mommy Easter Card

 I love this one. The woven basket is very realistic and conjures up memories of Easters of long ago.

This one was a recent birthday present from my wonderful daughter...LOVE IT!

I thought this card was kind of creepy. There is something about the bunnies and the garish colors that is a bit unsettling. I think the bunny eyes look a bit demonic or something. 

I hope you liked reminiscing with me and viewing my Easter greetings. I want to wish everyone a blessed Easter weekend!

Stay nostalgic my friends,

Mary

Happy April!

Nostalgic greetings!

I hope everyone is enjoying April so far! Where I live, the April showers are in full force!
Again, I am going to feature birthday cards for 4 year olds since it is the 4th month. I don't have a lot of 4 year old cards, but I really like the ones that I have. I'll share a few today and a few more later in the month.

This was a recent Ebay find, hand-dated Dec 1949

I don't have any details on this one, but it reminds me of the Wizard of Oz , I guess because of the dog and the brick road and the Emerald color. I am likely the only one to see a connection...it probably does not relate to it all!

This is another Ebay purchase. No details to share though.

 I love this one because the boy reminds me of  a character from one of my favorite children's books , The Best Surprise of All.  Well, I googled the book (see below) and I guess they don't look THAT much alike, but nevertheless it reminded me of the book. I guess it's the kind of closed eyes and that smile?!

This was one of the first cards from my collection. It was given to me by my friend Lisa (she is an expert antiquer, and finds great cards for me!) I don't usually keep envelopes, but I liked this one for Dallas Weigle From York, PA who was turning 4 in 1942! I love the colors in this card and the fact that it is a smaller card than many in my collection.
Stay nostalgic!
