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!
