'C' is for Christmas

Here's the last of the classic 50's and 60's xmas art for 2010 from my greeting card collection, apologies for not actually getting it up before the turn of the New Year, but continuing health issues and a painful day spent at the hospital brought on this unforseen delay (so I went ahead and cheated and set the publish date back a day!) I also want to take a second here and thank everyone who has become a friend to this blog... I know it's alot different than THOIA and not everyones cup o'tea, but if you really do like retro art and vintage pop culture fun in general, then you will surely find something to like here occasionally. See ya in 2011!














Xmas Ain't Over Yet...

Thought you'd seen the last of the vintage xmas cards this year, eh? The truth is I have TONS, but of course I can't show them all, after all, what will I post next year? So here's a quick handful of favorites from my collection: cute kittens, cozy couples, fuzzy reindeer, and just overall grand design in color, typography, textures and illustration. Hope everyone had a great holiday!
