A Week of Christmas Wishes is really special.<br /><br />Your cardss remind me of ones my mother glued onto construction paper pages and tied together with yarn. I wish she hadn't glued them but I'm glad to have them.

My mother scrapbooked a few cards, such as those from Christmas we spent in England when I was one. I must confess I usually throw mine out after a year or so.

You are so good to pull every little clue about individuals from things and it makes me wonder what future generations will learn about me from the way I do things.

Maybe because an orderly mother might impose more discipline, in general, to her children who then grow up and embrace disorderliness with a passion. I have a tremendously disorderly niece whose own daughter has become a compulsive neatnik. She's the only one who can find anything in their household. The pendulum swingeth a wide swath. That said, I love the cards!!Helen Killeen Bauch McHarguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042488205276127209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-87440842113936232032015-12-19T17:38:46.249-05:002015-12-19T17:38:46.249-05:00Lovely cards, so nice that they have been kept, ev...Lovely cards, so nice that they have been kept, even in a strange order.<br />Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090018804016223955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-64778321317707984892015-12-19T10:55:37.755-05:002015-12-19T10:55:37.755-05:00What a wonderful heirloom to have passed down to y...What a wonderful heirloom to have passed down to you. I love vintage cards and they seem so much prettier than many cards published today. Over the years I have compiled six Christmas scrapbooks of cards, poetry, quotations etc and enjoy each year looking back on them.

My kids & my husband drive me crazy with the way they put pictures in their photo albums in no particular order - whether by season, holiday, or even year! They just slap 'em in there any old way. When I need to remember when something happened, I need only go to one of my photo albums to find out because I keep everything in precise order. I don't know - maybe I'm just too fussy. Oh well.

I just found a newspaper ad for my great-grandfather's music store that says they also sold fine stationery, including fringed Christmas cards.
