Look at this interesting little find. It appears to be calling cards with wishes of good luck, all in German. I'm just trying to decide if the fancy stitching went on before or after the cards were dropped off by visitors. I'm guessing the stitching was put on afterward ... anybody?
Hello! I'm Trina and this is the blog for The Paper Flea Market (which is becoming Jubilee Flea next month!) My online store and studio specializes in paper + fun old stuff. In addition to being a shopkeeper, I'm an artist and paper enthusiast. I adore paper and old things and see potential in everything. My artwork includes greeting cards, art journals, mixed media pieces and clever handmade home decor, and has been published in "Country Living", "Somerset Life", "Art Journaling" and "Greencraft" magazines. My cards were included in the book "1000 Handmade Greetings" and can currently be found at specialty boutiques across the country. I also sell my work at pop-up boutiques and flea markets. Please contact me for show dates and locations and for wholesale card orders at thepaperfleamarket@yahoo.com
How cool is that!!! I think that some very frugal stitcher used the cards as supports for her stitching samples!!!!
