More Vintage Stickers
More Ephemera
More Things French
These sweet little seals or labels feature gummed adhesive on the back, which must be water activated for them to stick. This feature certainly dates the seals as most stickers and labels today are self-adhesive.
We love the golden embossed border and letters, too. So elegant and old fashioned. They are vintage 1960s old stock that has never been used.
However, we suggest that you use a sponge or some other item to apply the water (rather than licking them), or use an additional paper adhesive.) Because these are vintage, we are not quite sure of their whereabouts on their trip to us! So, we'd like you to be careful.
Each seal measures 1-3/8 inch by 7/16 inch

Mini Cactus Birthday Candle Holder
More Candles (Including Refills)
Artisans in Izucar, Mexico, first crafted these ceramics as votive offerings for the church. Hand-made and painted Tree of Life candelabras were originally used to burn candles and incense in church ceremonies, as they represented the Garden of Eden. Today the vivid trees adorned with fruits, foliage and figures are made in a variety of designs. Each of these pieces hand painted so colors will vary. This cactus holder resembles the tree of life, but features the mighty prickly pear cactus that
Each candle holder is different as they are all hand made, but they are all very similar to the illustrated candle. They measure about 2-3/4 inches high and vary in width. The holder is made for a birthday candle.
The artisan painting is finely detailed and absolutely wonderful! We're adding a 24-candle box of our favorite - all beeswax dipped taper - birthday candles for extra measure!

Note Card - Perfect for Teenagers

So, I never heard this quote. But, others here at SilverCrow did! They liked it, but not as much as I did. You see, I've not had my own kids, so I only remember being the teenager who needed such advice:
ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING HARASSED BY YOUR STUPID PARENTS? ACT NOW. MOVE OUT, GET A JOB, AND PAY YOUR OWN BILLS - WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING.
-John Hinde
Artist Simon Drew of the UK has also illustrated the back of the card as well - and we ALL love this quote:
'There are three ways to get something done; do it yourself, hire someone, or forbid your kids to do it.' Mona Crane
The inside is blank for your own provocative message. Each card is packaged with a brightly tinted envelope that matches.

How Did All These People Get Younger Than Me? Pinback Button
We're not sure how it happened. But it did. I remember when President Kennedy was running for office. My Dad was amazed that someone as young as he was (they were both born in 1917) could be president! Wow! Now the President of the United States is younger than I am! How did that happen!?
This cool little purple and purpler button helps you question such happenings and lets everyone else know what you're thinking, even if the English isn't perfect:
HOW DID ALL THESE PEOPLE GET YOUNGER THAN ME?
This little button (1-1/4 inch) will quietly help you spread your concerns!

Paper Refills for the DIY Music Box
When this arrived here at SilverCrow, we all dropped everything and started to play with it. And, we've not stopped! This is probably one of the most wonderful products we've ever found to offer to you. There is no sweeter sound than that of a music box - whether mechanically wound (as this one is) or wind-up.
This boxed kit includes the crank box (that makes the actual music), a very special hole puncher, 3 blank music paper strips (with the upper staff printed on it) along with one pre-punched music strip with the tune, Happy Birthday. Of course, there is an instruction booklet included, too. But, if you're like we are, we started without reading the instructions.
We also discovered that it's great fun to run your song through backwards, and upside-down and upside-down and backward.

Happy Birthday - a voice, a self, a soul. (woman at mirror)
From KOCO NY, this square greeting card offers a birthday philosophy for someone who is dear and very special to you (and lots of others!):
a voice, a self, a soul.
I am a woman. Sometimes I am called a girl. I am myself. I believe in the everyday. I wonder
about the beginning of time. And if thoughts have colors. I value people, & feelings I look for hidden meanings. I try to see both sides. I often think that life is like poetry. That I worry too much.
That I haven't taken enough risks. I cherish stolen moments.
The spaces between the lines. I sing out loud with the radio. The blues. Because I have a voice. I can create A reality within myself. I believe in the spiritual nature of all life. I am I. I am. And, inside:
for all that you see in yourself & others, happy birthday

Happy Birthday - i believe in cobalt blue
More Picasso
From KOCO NY, this square greeting card offers a birthday philosophy of the color blue - as well as thoughts from Picasso:
Color has a musical quality. Always interacting with adjacent tones, the sound of blue will change right before your eyes. The color of an object depends both on physics and laws of perception: it is both measureable as reflected light and contextual as an experience. The blues is a kind of sound, a series of moods and a range of hues. Colors in relation to each other are a dynamic demonstration of reality unfolding. Art is an aesthetic act; blue is one of its movements. Egyptian blue, indigo blue, true blue, rhythm & blues. "When I don't have red, I use blue." - Picasso i believe in cobalt blue.

Mini Tree of Life Birthday Candelabra
These wonderful little candles arrive 24 to a box - delightfully made of corrugated cardboard and tied with natural raffia. These are the candles we include with our Mexican Tree of Life Mini Candleholder! These natural candles are a subtle ivory color.
Beeswax candles are handmade of 100% pure beeswax and cotton wicks - no metals are involved. They are healthy, too, as they are naturally made of flowers by the bees themselves - of course, people help turn the beeswax into the actual candles!
They are of course, natural and clean and hypoallergenic. When burning, they create a delicate hint of a honey scent and fill the environment around them with negative ions and positive energy.
Because beeswax is a renewable energy source, you'll be helping the environment as you celebrate getting older.

Happy Birthday - i heart subjectivity.
From KOCO NY, this square greeting card offers a birthday philosophy that is good advice for anytime:
Subjectivism is the idea that all knowledge is restricted to the conscious self and its sensory states. It's a theory stating that the only valid standard of judgment is that of the individual. An objective truth is different than a subjective truth. T? F? The sky is blue. T? F? My experience of what happened is the same as "what happened." T? F? Artistic expression emerges from a person's inner world, not the external world. Hold on to subjective experience.
i heart subjectivity.
it's your strong inner voice that has the outer world come alive happy birthday

Happy Birthday - i work for what's real.
From KOCO NY, this square greeting card offers a birthday philosophy that questions being and reality, or does it?
what is reality? how do we know what's real? is a flower more real than the idea of a flower? realism, as a modern philosophical notion, is the idea that physical objects exist independently of their being perceived. is a social worker's reality more real than a painter's reality. is it possible for something to be real & not have a physical existence? is reality really only about literal truths, non-fictions, & actual happenings or is there a reality within each of us as human beings? as les mccann once said to eddie harris, "try to make it real compared to what?"
to the possibilities you bring into reality (& into my life) happy birthday

Pin the Tail on the Cat Game
Perfect for parties - Birthday and Hallowe'en! Cut out the nine numbered tails (one for each life) and stick a pin or add a piece of removable tape in the same end of each tail. Place the cat on a sheet hanging in a doorway or against the wall.
Give each player a tail (and be sure they remember their numbers). Blindfold each player in turn, whirl the player around once or twice.
The now-disoriented player must step forward and pin the tail in the first place s/he touches, using only ONE hand.
The winner is the player who placed the tail against the proper place (or closest to it). Be sure to have a booby prize for the one who pinned the tail the furthest away.
Designed for children, this game has proven even more fun for adults!

Wedding Tree of Life Candle Holder
Natural Beeswax Birthday Candles
Multi-Color Beeswax Birthday Candles
Artisans in Izucar, Mexico, first crafted these ceramics as votive offerings for the church. Hand-made and painted Tree of Life candelabras were originally used to burn candles and incense in church ceremonies, as they represented the Garden of Eden. Today the vivid trees adorned with fruits, foliage and figures are made in a variety of designs. Each of these pieces hand painted so colors will vary.
The figures on the trees may be owls or birds and the trees themselves differ in shape - some as in the illustration, others with branches and even some cactus. No two are alike, so please let us choose one for you. They measure about 2-3/4 inches high and vary in width. The holder is made for a birthday candle.

Letterpress Note card - Somebody Far
More NoteCards
We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! The vintage illustration of a globe, slightly tilted and the old-time font of the verse accent the richly textured paper. And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.
The old-fashioned sentiment is perfect for so many occasions: birthday, thinking of you, the new year (whichever you celebrate), retirement, and so on:
Somebody far away wishes you many happy returns of the day
The 3-1/4 by 5-1/4 inch size is just what you need for those short messages and quick thank you notes.

Celebration Crowns for Very Special Celebrations
Queen of Hearts Crown
Three festive designs are die cut in unique crown silhouettes. These magnificently printed collages incorporate images reproduced from antique sheet music, Victorian scraps and Dresdens, Spencerian writing, paper lace and many other antique bits and pieces from the artist's collection.
A luminous folded paper banner heralding the sentiment CELEBRATE is applied to the front of each crown. The back of each of the crowns is printed with an elegant Spencerian presentation certificate that can be filled in to commemorate that very special occasion or achievement. And hand-applied iridescent glitter adds a magical sparkle.
Aside from the traditional use - as a coronet for the star celebrant, why not use one as a centerpiece for the celebration? Crowns are printed on sturdy, pliable specialty paper, with colored eyelets laced with silken ribbon at either end. Tie the ribbons together for wearing.

Chinese Chop - Happiness
All Chops & Hankos
HAPPINESS - how many times we wish this for others (and ourselves)! SilverCrow's hand-carved Chinese chop set arrives in a beautiful green brocade case with your soapstone Chinese seal carved with the characters meaning HAPPINESS.
Obviously perfect for a birthday, but certainly appropriate for any celebration - birthdays, graduation, engagement parties, etc. Or, use it next to your signature - even on checks - that way you can always wish people happiness (even if they won't know it for sure.)
Accompanying each set is a traditional porcelain covered dish of red tael ink.
Of course, each seal is a bit different as the artisan carved each by hand. We are certain that you'll be as charmed by your seal as we are.
The image is about 7/8 inch square with a hand-carved square as its perimeter.
You'll find this wonderful one as a gift for yourself or someone who is quite dear to you.
