Vintage Mother's Day Card with Puffed Satin Heart
More Greeting Cards
More Mother's Day
Vintage and nostalgia lovers will treasure this card. It was originally published many years ago. In fact, the original price was only 50¢ each!
The 7-1/2 by 5-3/4 inch card features a satiny centerpiece with a printed rose. The entire front is lightly glittered about the delicately beautiful design. Made by Stanley in Dayton, each card arrives with the original envelope.
Parts of the cards show wear, but we think it adds to their charm. Whether you give this to your mother for Mother's Day, or you choose to use it in your art, we know you'll enjoy the old-fashioned charm.
On the outside, it reads:
To MOTHER on Mother's Day
Just like many other cards from the early to mid-20th century, the card was made of folded paper, giving a much richer appearance. Once opened, the card reads, in a vintage-style script:
The right thing to do,
And the right thing to say.
That's the dear wisdom
Of Mother each day..
There's nobody like her
Unselfish and true,
And nobody ever
Had a mother like you!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

How to Humour a Husband: The Mother's Guide
More Books
First published around 1920, this book reflects a time when a woman's place was very much in the home. Now with the lapse of time this book has become both a fascinating and amusing read, though care should be taken regarding any medical advice given.
Some excerpts:
Make a mental note of anything that displeases your husband in the house, and, if reasonable, obliterate the fault.
Some husbands are like pet dogs - they need nursing to keep them in good temper.
There is nothing more disagreeable in life than a home where jarring and quarrelling is the keynote on which they start and finish each round.
This quaint little book certainly illustrates the changes made over the last century. But, it is charming and there are gems of great advice inside, too.
This makes a great little extra gift for the bride-to-be.

Note Card: Ten Commandments & Mother
Artist/philosopher Brian Andreas has created the Story People®. And, we are totally enamoured by his works. The sentiment is truly inspirational:
I asked her why she never told us about the Ten Commandments & she said she wasn't ever that good with numbers so she loved everything as best she could
& I remember thinking who needs all those rules anyway with a mother like her around.
What better childhood can one remember. This card is good advice to a new mother, thanks to your mother or just a kind thought for anyone who may remember childhood fondly.

Many Moons - Art Postcard by Duane Michals
Duane Michals' moons are clever and curious, definitely evoking a smile.
His black and white drawing of a many-moonlit night is accompanied by his poem:
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY, IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THERE WERE MANY MOONS. MY GRAND MOTHER HAD A MOON, AND MY OTHER GRANDMOTHER HAD ONE TOO. WE HAD A MOON OVER BACKYARD, AND MY BEST FRIEND ART HAD MOONLIGHT IN HIS BEDROOM FROM HIS MOON WHEN WE VISITED OUR RELATIVES IN CHICAGO, I WAS NOT SURPRISED TO DISCOVER THEIR MOON. THEN ONE NIGHT, AS WE RETURNED FROM A VISIT TO MY GRANDMOTHER I WATCHED OUT OF THE CAR'S BACK WINDOW AND SAW HER MOON FOLLOW US HOME. HER MOON WAS OUR MOON THERE WAS JUST ONE MOON ! NOW THE SKY SEEMED SO EMPTY.
