This is not a super old card -- it's a Leanin' Tree design, likely from the late 1990s -- but I loved the sentiment and the detail in the artwork. The cover features an original painting by artist Clayton Nicles. I'm sure if you double-click on the card image you will be able to see it better.
Look at the lovely details: -- a ball of green yarn and a basket of knitting beside the rocking chair; a teacup and bowl of apples at the ready; the teakettle heating over the fire; a well-worn Bible on the mantel.
The tree is simply trimmed with popcorn strings and clip-on candles.
Gifts are everywhere including in the pocket of the plaid jacket hanging on a hook at left.
And the dear message: "In every home, in every heart the lights of friendship glow." Don't you love that? Somehow in our world and culture today we have gotten away from that.
I want this sentiment to be true of my heart and home. Wouldn't you agree? Let's keep the lights on for friendship!
Lovely sentiment in the card. This makes me think of the Little House in the Prairie decor
