Vintage St. Patrick's Ephemera from Janet

These items were inside my March exchange envelope from Janet. She addressed the tiny envelope and it is so pretty in person. I don't think the photo does it justice. The other items are much cooler in person as well. There is something about the way the old printing and die-cutting was done that gives it a cooler feel. It's probably a good thing  I never allowed myself to seriously collect vintage ephemera.

I think Janet inherited a nice stash and is sending it out to people she knows will appreciate it.
 Below is the greeting inside the little shamrock card. Very interesting wording.

The little lady has a tab to fold to make her stand up. I think she is a place card. So cute.

My mother used to get so peeved that Irish people had their own holiday and the rest of us didn't have one for ourselves. I felt obligated to be indifferent to the holiday. Then my daughter fell in love with an Irishman - so now I get to celebrate. Colin has probably gathered that I was pretty excited to get some cute little half-Irish grandkids. Although, they are the most feral children I have ever met - so that's gotta be the Irish, right?
