Vintage Christmas Cards...

to end the week with.

Starlit Carols
from an original painted with the mouth by Arn Uff.

Sadly I cannot find any information on Arn who also painted

Festivities.

Child of God
from an original painted with the mouth by Bruce Peardon

Bruce was an Australian who also wrote and illustrated several best-selling children's books. 

Silent Night
from an original painted with the mouth by Irene Schricker

Here's more of Irene's gorgeous work

I did scribble the details down somewhere before I popped this one in the post, but I can't find them anywhere and Saint Anthony's not listening! 

this is Irene's too (and it's one of my favourites)

And I know you won't mind if I end with a pic of the Jedster

our little space dog.

  1. Irene's paintings are my favourites! They are so simple and colourful.
    St Anthony is always engaged because my mother has him on speed dial.
    Does this mean Jed got the all clear?

    My Dog does not do well with cones. He HATES them with a passion and is pretty much petrified of them. *Eeeep*

  6. They're lovely, I bring out my few vintage ones every year. Along with all the glitter and glue encrusted ones from the kids, obviously.

    I hope you're all well, I've missed everyone's blogs. What happened to poorly space dog? Does he have any fancy dress parties to go to? He could be a martini

  8. Poor poor Jed, hope he pulls through this, esp. as the weather is not nice to be wrapped up.Did you keep the bathmat bag or did it go "missing"?,you could re wrap and let your parents feel grateful they have had a cherish heirloom returned,ha. Liking the second card best.

  10. I had a boss many years ago whose son painted with his mouth. It's amazing to me what beautiful work can be done by people who don't have the use of their hands. You've shown us some outstanding cards by some incredibly talented artists. Thank you for sharing them.

  11. My mother prays to St Joseph to find her a car park - she swears by it! Not sure what the connection is ....

  12. Aren't those vintage cards so much nicer than what is available now-a-days?
    Hope Jed has been behaving himself with that cone around his neck.
    Keep your eye on your post..your dress is on it's way :)
