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.
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.
