Birthday cards are one of those things we take for granted and most do not survive the day they are received.
They are displayed in a prominent place and then carefully put away or end up as tomorrow’s rubbish.
All of which is a shame given the care, thought and feeling that often goes into selecting the card.
So with that in mind I am going to share some that have been given to me by Suzanne.
All date from the early decades of the last century and are a delightful comment on what people sent as birthday wishes just a little under a 100 years ago.
This one dates from 1915 and was sent by William.
I don’t have the name of the birthday person but in the same collection there cards to a Dorothy and also an Edith and with a bit of time and some detective work I might get closer to a name.
