A delicate vintage greeting card featuring two small birds nestled amongst blossom-covered branches, accompanied by its original vintage envelope. The soft pastel illustration, decorative border and printed seasonal verse give the piece a gentle, nostalgic quality that feels equally at home in a frame, journal or ephemera collection.

The card bears a handwritten inscription to the reverse, adding another layer to its story and reminding us that these small paper treasures once carried personal messages between loved ones.

With its faded colours, signs of age and quiet charm, this is the sort of ephemera that collectors are drawn to, not despite its imperfections, but because of them.
