got an order this morning from a dealer friend who sets up in warrenton, for a product that we make and wanted to share - i take old vintage and victorian era postcards scan them and enlarge them and put them on cardboard with easel back and a little envelope.
for the last 3-4 years we sold these ourselves at both warrenton and canton and always did real well with them. the original cards are part of our personal collection - of over 10,000 - that we have been collecting for the last 25 years.
its fun going through the cards and remembering when i got one or another - sometimes i remember and sometimes i don't. lol!
anyway, when i get bored, i will highlight a few of the cards, for fun, with glitter paints and accent them with curly wire strung through holes i drilled at the tops - sometimes, i will accent the wire with raffia - all to show the customer what can be done with these -
so, i just finished highlighting this st patricks day card and wanted to share - i am going to include it with the order for them to show their customers.
i think that is thistle with the clover - but i could be wrong.

Hey Toe, what a great idea!! The CWGS used to be run by Stephanie, but she left and we haven't been back to do another show. I can't remember who took it over, it may have been Chris. We probably won't do another show w/ them until the summer. Have a great weekend, T
