I am back after the busy Holiday weekend and I hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving Day!  I have been thinking of you sweet friends and will get around to visit everyone. :)

Since Christmas is right around the corner I wanted to share with you one of my favorite antique Victorian greeting cards.  I have always loved this card as I think it has such beautiful garlands of pink forget-me-nots and the embossing and die-cutting is just gorgeous.  This really is a small card, only about 4" tall, but when opened it is about 9" long.  There is a sweet poem inside, "Christmas Wishes" written by Frances Ridley Havergal. I hope you will click on this link to read more about her.  She was an extraordinary and amazing woman who dedicated her life, with all of her heart & soul, to our Lord Jesus in the 1800's.     

She was quoted as saying, "I committed my soul to the Saviour ... earth and heaven seemed brighter from that moment; I did trust the Lord Jesus."

I hope you will enjoy this card as much as I loved sharing it with you.

 

Until next time~

Love & Hugs,
