Vintage Hallmark For Christmas

I've also been finding vintage Hallmark items for Christmas at the thrift shops lately.
Like these sweet little pins - as if I didn't have enough pins already!
And some pretty place mats with a nice tree in green and blue:
I really like these:
A vintage advertisement (it's kind of rough - from the back of a magazine, I had to cover up a big rip on the side there!):
Adorable snowmen on a BIG paper party tablecloth:
Another snowman, another "Jolly Holidays" table cover:
Some unusual fold-up cards with a corn husk angel for the holidays:
And my favorite find is this fabulous vintage "Hallmark Guide To Beautiful Packages":
For me, the presentation is as important as the gift inside, so this
super booklet from 1969 is right up my alley!
Oh, how I love the "pretty paper, pretty ribbons"........
So many lovely ideas with all sorts of gorgeous gift wrap, ribbons, and bows!
Time to wrap this post up!

Hardly anyone wraps a gift anymore. Decorative bags are so easy and fast.
But... I love to wrap gifts too. Guess we are just a bit old fashion. That's a good thing.

Yes-- most people throw stuff in a gift bag these days. Love the old Hallmark designs. Wish they would release a "retro" line of cards and gift wrap. I'd sure buy some!
