It is Great to be 8!

Nostalgic greeetings!

I wanted to share my 8 year old birthday cards, since this is the 8th month. I didn't have a lot of 8 year old cards but I had good card karma at antiqing last weekend and found 4 different 8 year old cards...it must have been meant to be!

                                                   This one is hand-dated 1941

                                         This one is hand-dated 1951, and is from Hallmark

              This was one of my first cards after I started my collection, and it was found by my friend Lisa on one of her antiquing expeditions

I hope you're staying cool...It has been a hot week! Stay nostalgic!

Sunday School Greetings

Nostalgic greetings to you!

Today, I wanted to share another part of my collection. In addition to collecting antique greeting cards and valentines, I also collect Sunday School postcards. Apparently, churches used to send these postcards to children when they missed a week of sunday school. I would like to find more history about them, and if I do I will blog about that at a later date. I only have a few so far, but I am always looking for more when we do our antiquing. Here are the ones I have so far.

I don't really know how old that these are, but I do know that I am drawn to them when I see them, so because of that, a new part of my collection began.

Stay nostalgic!
