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!
