Mother's Day
Saint Gerard Majella was the son of a tailor in Italy. He was quite devout but suffered bad health and was not able to become a Capuchin monk as he wished. He later became a Redemptor monk and was falsely accused of impregnating a woman, who later recanted and repented. Because of this, Saint Gerard has become well known as the protector and patron of pregnancies, expectant mothers, childbirth and motherhood. He has also been known as a an antecedent for the falsely accused.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a treasured representation of the Blessed Virgin Mary that has been associated with a Byzantine icon or image of the same name. There is some controversy about the original date of the image - ranging from the 13th through the 15th centuries. The actual icon is in Rome and has been there since the late 1400s.
This is a highly recognizable image of the Virgin Mary holding the Baby Jesus in her arms. Catholics have prayed to the Blessed Mother to intercede on their behalf, with her son, Jesus, for help. Perhaps the reason for the popularity of the image is Mary's gaze directly at the viewer, rather than down at her son, conveying her care for the world at large and individuals in particular.
This image is particularly special to us as it was our Grandmother's favorite. Although we never knew her, we have heard of her patience, kindness and open arms of love. And, this lovely medal features a very detailed image of Our Lady.
It measures 1 inch high (including the loop) by 1/2 inch wide. We're showing two medals so that you might see each side.

Saint Anthony of Padua was born a wealthy nobleman, but, much to the consternation of his family, he became a poor Franciscan Friar. He was such a wonderful speaker, that it was rumored that even the fishes loved to listen to him.
St Anthony's patronage is very broad, but he is best known as the patron who helps retrieve lost things. He also protects sailors, pregnant women and the poor and starving.
Our lovely medal arrives alternately with an entreaty, such as pray for us, or with an image of St Francis of Assisi on the reverse.

More Saint Patrick and Things of Ireland
Saint Patrick was actually born on the British mainland and then kidnapped and shipped to Ireland as a slave, working in the mountains as a shepherd. Saint Patrick is often associated with driving the snakes from Ireland. While it is true that there are no snakes in Ireland, this may be more mythical, representing his effort in converting the Irish.
Saint Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland and of many individual churches and dioceses throughout the United States. He is patron to those in fear of snakes (ophidiophobics), those who have been bitten by snakes, and of excluded people, and of engineers.
Saint Bridget (aka, St. Brigid) was a great lover of the poor. She was born to a Lord of Ireland, who arranged a marriage for her. Determined to create a life of devotion to God, she pled her case to the bishop who arranged for her to take her vows quickly. She was quite beautiful and it is said that she denounced her beauty and prayed to have it taken from her so that no man would be attracted to her. Her prayers were answered until her vows were taken - and then she re-gained her beauty. Some say that Saint Patrick himself was the bishop who heard her final vow.
Saint Bridget is that Patron Saint of Travelers as she set up so many convents throughout Ireland despite the terrible conditions of the 5th and 6th centuries when she live. She is also patron to babies, fugitives and sailors.
Our lovely medal is made of silvery metal in Italy.

Of course, there are most probably a million new innovative ways to use these slips - particularly for baby showers or baby gifts.

Rare BLUE Plastic Nursery Rhyme Plaque - Hey-Diddle-Diddle
More Vintage Items
Cat & Fiddle Button
This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque measures about 7 inches wide by 5-1/2 inches high. The whole story is here:
Hey-diddle-diddle The cat and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.
This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.
The cow jumping over the moon is the delight of so very many children of all ages! The actual meaning is a bit fuzzy. Some say that it represents the rise of Richard III to power. Others suggest that it represents the constellations in the spring sky. Still others attribute the little poem to a description of Queen Elizabeth I and her good friend Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. She often referred to him as her lap dog.

Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after.
There are so many sources of origin claimed for the Jack and Jill rhyme, that it is hard to know which is true. Many nursery rhymes began as satirical poems regarding the politics of the day. Still others were meant tell the stories of history to children, modified to help soften the harsher news.
Some say that Jack and Jill is the story of the beheading of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. Others insist that it was modeled after a fairy tale about 2 childhood friends in Norway. And still another associates it with the British monetary unit, gill, and the jackpot that ensued for the country.

Made right here in the SilverCrow Studio, our Baby Girl Ornament is made of new and vintage German components. Our baby scrap is from the early 20th century, as is the real-metal tinsel star.
Package of 2 White Stork Dresdens
More Dresdens, Die Cuts & Scraps
How special these are! Our little Dresden storks are matte white, but made in the tradition of Dresdens of old. Use them as is - the embossing and cutting is absolutely superb! Or, hand color them with markers or paints - we think them loveliest when watercolored. Then, of course, you can add them to an ornament or package for a baby gift - or as favors for a baby shower. We even think that coloring them pink just might let us believe they could pass as flamingos.
The embossing on these reliefs is superb, as is the cutting. These are new but are made in the same fashion as they have been for many, many decades! Each stork measures about 1 inch wide by 2 inches high.

Plastic Nursery Rhyme Plaque - See Saw Margery Daw
This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque measures about 8 inches wide by 5-3/4 inches high. There is a sweet picture of a girl and a boy on a teeter-totter made of a log and plank, accompanied by a bunny and some birds. It is made of light blue hard plastic and includes the Margery Daw Nursery Rhyme:
See saw Margery Daw, Jacky shall have a new master; He shall have but a penny a day, Because he can't work any faster.
In researching the meaning of this rhyme, we have found that it probably wasn't meant for children in the first place. It was most likely a worker's rhyme used by men sawing large logs of wood using two-handled saws - to help them keep time. It's origin appears to be in the 18th century and Margery was a poor country name, and Daw meant an untidy person. Working rhymes generally contained references to wages and eventually made their way into children's lives through their working fathers - just as the see-saw did!

Hand Glittered Note Card - Babies & Stars
We are absolutely delighted to present this terrific Barbara Schriber Designs notecard. It seems only natural that we'd offer such delightful images that are hand glittered with German glass glitter!
These little babies and stars are ready to carry your message right along. We're particularly fond of the little girl sitting on the happy slice of the moon! The glitter accents are in just the perfect spots to highlight the image! Best of all, once the glitter is exposed to air, it may tarnish, which adds to the vintage feel! Of course, each card is accompanied by a matching envelope.
Because this card is accented with glass glitter, please use care when handling the cards, and of course, such products adorned with glass glitter are not suitable for children.

Vintage Pastel Mêlée Bouquet
Our enchanting little bouquet of flocked paper forget-me-nots is reminiscent of those special decorations of the 50s. These tiny paper flowers arrive in a bunch which can be easily separated so that you can use the individual blooms. There are about 8 little bunches of about 5 flowers each. Add a brooch pin to the back and you'll have the perfect corsage for springtime and summer gatherings.
SilverCrow's bouquet is a mélange of pastel colors featuring pinks, blues and a touch of yellow and cream in some of them. We fell in love with this special bouquet as it reminded us of flower embellishments from our early years. You'll be delighted with the special care taken in making these diminutive buds. We only have a limited amount, so don't delay!
Because of the colors, this would add a delightful touch to a baby shower favor.
