  5. I love old vintage papers and books. You have quite a treasure with your find. Don't you just wonder who the invitation was sent to and if he attended the event?

    Happy holidays,

  7. Your Christmas Invitation is like my Christmas Menu post that I did today for VCM. It is amazing to think that a piece of paper from decades ago can be found and appreciated for today. Thanks for sharing. A very Merry Christmas to you.
