Vintage Cards

A little while ago after coming back from France I showed some of the vintage letters and post-cards I bought at a flea market, and mentioned that I would show some of the cards I would make.  Well, I've been busy chopping them up (seems a shame, although what else to do with them?) and they are now recycled into cards.  Here's a sample - the two bottom left -



These letters and postcards from France were dated 1927, 1957 etc.



As you'll see, I also made some cards out of a recycled Daily Mail Nipper Annual, 1939, mostly black and white, a few colour.  There was very little colour used in those days for Annuals, so the coloured pages are a little rarer.  I bought the 1939 Annual from a shop selling bric-a-brac in Exeter back when we went there for the day whilst staying in Lyme Regis.  You can tell what I spend all my time doing when I'm on holiday!
