Mildred's Birthday 1952 from Ruth
This beautiful wildflower card has a slip-in pocket with a packet of seeds tucked in. Believe it or not, there are still seeds in the packet! I wonder if they would germinate after all these years ...
I'm not sure who Ruth was, but she must have been a good friend who knew Mildred loved flowers.
I wonder when Mildred's birthday was ... this was postmarked May 9th, which is MY birthday! That is so fun.
Really? It's posted for your birthday? Maybe there's a reason you and Mildred have so much in common. What a lovely card, and such a sweet friend. I would have loved to have known Ivor and Mildred. Even their names sound wonderful together.
I love this card! Friendships grow if we cultivate them with Love, Kindness and Patience! (the seeds for life). Amazing the seeds are still there! I hope your glorious garden grows lovingly and strong from these little seeds of friendship. Love and Light, Nina P.
I save cards and letters ... I have boxes full of them. Most of the older cards I have were rescued from a dumpster several years ago, and have been in storage ever since. Others I find at the Goodwill Surplus store nearby (where I buy them by the pound, so they are nearly free).
It is time to liberate these treasures and share them with the world! I am especially interested in cards that have a personal touch, so I will include any and all writings that make these cards so fun. Many are still in their original envelopes, and I will include these as well, since they also tell their own stories.
Thank You
Thank you Marge, for this award. You warm my heart and soul.
As life changes, I find myself far from what my dreams had imagined. Reality has found me caring for my elderly mom who is sliding deeper into Alzheimers ... every day has become a unique challenge. The best I can do is to try to life as normal as possible for those around me.

ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious about those seeds too! Are you planning on planting a couple?
ReplyDeleteI think I might try to!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting and I'm curious about the seeds too. You will have to let us know if they sprout!
