My great-grandmother Mary Theresa Sheehan Killeen Walsh
saved many of the Mother’s Day cards sent to her by her children and
grandchildren. The only child not represented in her collection is my grandaunt
Lil. That surprises me.

Terrific collection of cards. I love getting cards & I save them carefully.
ReplyDeleteI am not a card saver. I am sure my 3x great-grandchildren will be disappointed.
DeleteThat is interesting about no cards from the one daughter. The other cards are so sweet. Happy Mother's Day!

All I can figure is that Lillie lived with her mother, so maybe she didn't feel that she needed to give her a card.
DeleteIt is amazing you still have them! They are wonderful, I love old cards.
ReplyDeleteActually, I just got them a few weeks ago. My aunt got them when she cleaned out my grand aunt Helen's house. The cards are glued into scrapbooks.
DeleteWhat beautiful cards, Wendy. I haven't seen such lovely cards in a long, long time. Hope you enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteI love these cards because they are so different from today's style of cards.
DeleteWhile I loving having this type of thing from my ancestors, I've never thought about saving my own. Sad.
ReplyDeleteSame here!
DeleteMy grandmother's didn't save theirs. Or if they did, they got tossed out along the way. My mother saved many and I must admit that I save them too. None as beautiful as those you shared here though.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you share your vintage cards, they are so beautiful!
