Thanks so much to everybody who turned up at the Surplus Sale on Sunday. I’m gathering things for the next sale and I photographed my collection of vintage greeting cards today. It is mostly 1970’s, some older and it is spectacular. And huge – more than two and a half pounds.
I got this collection 5 or 6 years ago at the park slope flea-market – it was part of someones estate. This lady was a pioneer – she was scrapbooking before it was invented – some of the cards are very carefully cut -I guess to be part of a collage or gift tags or maybe new cards populated with mismatched characters ( I love that idea).
Wow, did the photos bring back memories of childhood. I saw many of the cards that my mom used back then, a lot of the Hallmark brand she loved so much.
Thanks for a jolt from my past.
