It was a birthday for J the other day.
One of her birthday cards came all the way from Vietnam and bought by a relative on a visit there this summer.
It's incredibly beautiful and the Vietnamese lady is a hand paper cut and it stands up in the middle of the card:
Wouldn't it be good if you could buy hand cut cards where we live?
That is a lovely card. Such a thoughtful gift.
ReplyDeleteWe can buy locally hand made cards here but not as exotic as J's.
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to her.
Thanks JayCee. I think it is the most beautiful card I have ever seen.
DeleteIt's beautiful, and worthy of being kept, I have a memory box, which I keep photo's (mainly grand children's school ones) and special cards, I don't keep every card as it would be far too many. Hubby and I started reusing the same card a couple of years ago, we do it for mothers/fathers day, birthdays and christmas, it's a bit of fun and quite a saving.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea Marlene. A Memory Box sounds so nice.
DeleteThat is indeed a lovely card Dave. Belated birthday greetings to Jean. I doubt that you got her a birthday gift as having you in her life is itself like a continuous birthday present.
ReplyDeleteThanks YP. I bought her a pair of Jeans and some socks. My birthday is in December. I hope I get a bottle of Dalwhinnie Scottish malt whisky. My favourite!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely card and very thoughtful of the sender. I love the Vietnam person with the shoulder baskets. Very Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers move Rachel. I am glad you like the card. We think it is beautiful. Thanks Rachel.
ReplyDeleteThat's even better.
DeleteYes.
DeleteA business opportunity.
ReplyDeleteYep. Somebody good with scissors Tasker.
ReplyDeleteVery special! Happy birthday, J!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debby.
ReplyDeleteBirthday cards are not a thing around here. That is very special
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Linda. It's amazingly beautiful!
