Vintage Deal of the Day: November 12, 2009

{You know, I adore sending out Christmas cards – actually I love sending out cards for any holiday, special event or just to say hello to a person I hold dear. I’ve already drafted my 2009 winter holiday mailing list, but before I finalize it for certain, I want to track down my cards for this year. While searching I came across these delightfully chic vintage inspired cards from Fred Flare, which are part of a set of three different designs that seem to telegraph the wonderful style of illustration that often peppers cookbooks, magazines and just about all manner of publications during the late 50s and early 60s. If these festive cards are calling your name, bop on by Fred Flare and pick up a package of nine cards (three of each design) for $14.00 (US) – according to the site “5% of the sale price of the cards will benefit causes like the Best Friends Animal Society and the Arbor Day Foundation”, how fantastic is that?}


Have you begun thinking about your holiday card list yet, or do you prefer to wait until the Thanksgiving dishes have been cleared away before even contemplating anything to do with Christmas? Have you found your cards for this year, or are you on the prowl for an affordable, adorable set of winter stationery at the moment, too?
