Birthday Greetings

No, it's not my birthday, but it's been a while since I've done a post, so I thought I'd dig through my backlog.

This birthday card collection was a find this past summer. I'm not sure if they were all for the same person on the same birthday, but seem to be from the same era (1950's).

Given my penchant for vintage toasters, this first card was a favorite.



I can't tell if the googly eye is original or not.

Apparently, a Father's Day card "popped" in there.



The grand finale is this "exploding" card that unfolds for additional pictures and wishes.

    1. Yeah. Get drunk, eat some ice cream and candy and ride the "Rolly Coaster". What could go wrong?
