A charming Christmas card

 To kick off Christmas in July here in my Christmas kitchen, I thought I'd share one of the vintage cards in my Etsy shop.  This is just a delightful Brownie card with six different miniature scenes.  It's a little card, measuring about 2 1/2 inches by 5 3/8.  If you notice, the scenes tell a story.

First comes the shopping.  You can see that maybe a nice roast and some groceries are going to be purchased.

Then the cooking begins.  Note the observer looking in the window to check the progress of the meal.

The cook does a bit of judicious tasting.

Christmas dinner is served with a flourish!

That's a lot of dirty dishes!  The older children pitch in to help.

Grandma and one of the little girls tackle the mound of dishes, while the hostess collapses in a chair and mops her brow.  I know just how she feels, don't you?  That could be me in that yellow chair!

Below is the message inside the card, in a nifty vintage font.

Hope you've enjoyed this little card and its story!
