DAYS AND KNIGHTS OF CAMELOT – PAPER DOLLS

I posted Morgan le Fay a while back, a copy of the doll in this book.  At that time I stated I really would like to get this set.  Well patience paid off and someone was selling and I got to buy it.  I really really enjoy it.  On the back of each page Mike told the story of the character. It has many pages, so will be posted over a few nights, with the co-operation of my equipment.

FAIRYLAND “SWEET BLOSSOMS” NOTE CARD

This is another card from Marilyn, she has a basement just filled with lovely cards, stationary, and all kinds of paper items.  This arrived on the day I scheduled my surgery and it was so wonderful for cheering me up  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Marilyn, you always know what will please me and make me happy.

The artist are Jean and Ron Henry –

It is published by Flame Tree Publishing in the United Kingdom. Card #FB 12

On the back  of the card is this extract from A Midsummer-nights Dream by William Shakespeare:

• Fetch me that flower;
• The herb I show’d thee once:
• The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid,
• Will make a man or woman madly dote
• Upon the next live creature that it sees.

The Angel wings and the moon are done in glitter.  Notice the butterfly and the bees.  The stars are raised but I cannot tell if it is done with glitter by feel.  Those tiny fairy faces are all done so they have a different look to each one.

This is a lovely painting, and of course that is what greeting and note cards are, miniature are work.

IT IS STILL THE CHRISTMAS SEASON – MORE CARDS

I will still post some Christmas cards this week.

The verse reads:

• Greeting of the
• Season and every
• good wish for the coming
• New Year

This was published by the Drawing Board Greeting Card Co. The artist was Arlene Noel and is #4-1393  I received this back in 1982 while I still lived in Ohio from my friend Marilyn.

Haven’t received one of this in years.  It was on top of a can of popcorn given to my by the Credit Union we deal with at work. When you open it, it plays the tune “Oh Christmas Tree”.  There is no name of a publisher on it, but I could easily drive Korey nuts listening to it.

When you open this card up there is a very pretty picture of a poinsettia with pine boughs all done in red ink at the top of the verse which reads:

• Merry Christmas
• and Happy New Year

This was published by Plus Mark, an American Greeting Company and is number 12830-5A

Received from Marilyn in 1989, she has the access to some wonderful stores in Cleveland that sell unusual cards and items.  Times like Christmas make me wish I was wealthy enough to fly back to Ohio to do my shopping.  Maybe it is the fact we get no snow, but Fort Lauderdale does not seem to get into the Christmas Spirit the way they do up north.
