Clusters of people are making their way to the village church which is the center of the scene. The unusual colors used and the very slightly futuristic look of the church (especially the windows) make me think this is an early 1960s card with just a bit of a modern "space age" feel to it. Tall, spare, leafless trees surround the buildings.
Inside the card is this greeting in two colors and two pretty vintage fonts:
Also inside the card is another version of the same scene, drawn from a different angle with the houses and church on snow-covered ground and the turquoise sky behind them. In this approach to the scene one also sees a few evergreen trees ...
They really don't make Christmas cards like they used to! This is a small, simple Christmas card, probably from a boxed assortment, but it sure has character. Christmas joy to you!
I lovely card indeed, it reminds me of simpler and precious times! I agree they do not make cards like they used to! I have found a few boxes at The Christmas Tree Shoppe.
ReplyDeleteI am getting in the mood for Christmas, I have enjoyed watching Christmas movies on the HallMark channels.
Have a blessed week.

I'm getting in the mood for Christmas too, having done all of these Christmas in July posts!
DeleteI think I already have my Christmas cards for next year ... bought them on after Christmas clearance.
I love Christmas Tree Shoppes! Sure wish we lived closer to one.
You find the best vintage treasures!
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks, Vicki! Most of them are from the house I'm cleaning out.
DeleteYou always have the most beautiful cards. I agree, vintage cards were simpler, but so lovely. The paper had a different feel to it, almost like a stiff tissue paper or a parchment.
ReplyDeleteYes! The ones I've looked closely at have quite a variety of paper textures. More cards were embossed back then, also.
DeleteAnother beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucie! The color is one of my favorite things about it.
