Last week I found a shoebox full of vintage greeting cards at a local antique mall and this adorable little girl was in the mix - you can't really tell but is has glitter around the door and on her sweet pink dress!
this is another card from the box - the other pink is covered in glitter
this was at the bottom of the box, I HAD to post this because of the tiny little pink ribbon at the top of this graduation announcement from 1926 !! It is in mint condition!

That's all for today - wanted to get my "feet wet", now it is time for me to go view all the other great blogs!

I love vintage images SOOO much! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Robin! Thanks for visiting at The Writer's Reverie - thought I'd drop by to say "hi" - and gush over your finds! That 1926 piece is a find - I love old things. Your greeting cards are nice, too. I have four bins full of my grandmother's cards - she kept everyone - dating back to the 1920's. I'd love to do something with them - but my aunt wants me to just "keep" them. Ya!
Joy!
Miss Kathy
What a great variety of pinks you treated us with.

Wow, what fab finds! The vintage illustrations are wonderful.
What a brilliant find - I'm so jealous! And I love the girly card as well. You have a great 'eye' (and a lot of luck, obviously - I rarely come across things like this).
This week, my contribution is a desktop screensaver calendar. Happy Pink Saturday from the UK!
The images are smashing but the little Birthday girl has my heart. Happy Pink Saturday!
Thanks for sharing your vintages images. I especially like that 1926 announcement!
What a wonderful illustration book - I'd love to use a couple of those pictures in my altered art. What a treasure! Happy Pink Sat.
