Favorite Things: Vintage Birthday Cards

I'm still on my organizing kick. Yesterday, stashed away on the bookcase in the dining room found these little birthday cards that I picked up at the Salvation Army thrift store a couple of years ago. They looked so cute and springy that I had to string a little clothesline and hang them up with tiny clothespins.

The back part of each card has an outfit that the child can colour, so the little character on the front can wear it, paper doll style. The kitty-cat, for instance, has a nurse's outfit, and the poem inside says:

Here's
A birthday kitten -
Cute as can be,
And you can
Dress her up
Like a nurse,
You see!

[Update: Like these cards? Kim in IL is posting a day's worth of Valentine cards.]
