This is a vintage card from the 30s or 40s that I found at the Marché aux Puces de Vanves. At first glance there appeared to be no inscription inside. But when I unfolded the card, in the interior was a lengthy love letter penned by a forlorn Frenchman to his future bride. So sweet.I hope this Christmas, wherever you are in the world -- whether you have the gleaming snow or not -- brings as much cheer as that little bird and as much warmth as the yellow light shining from the cottage.
Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année, y'all!

What a wonderful find. I love Marché aux Puces de Vanves and make sure to include it in every visit to Paris. I went a week ago last Saturday and I can tell you it was COLD. And, as usual, my favorite finds were well out of reach Euro-wise (I am always amazed at the price of some of the trinkets) ...yet I managed to find a few treasures :-) I'll be posting some pics from there soon.
Joyeux Noël and a very happy New Year to you too, Polly :)
Joyeux Noël !
Joyeux Noël to you to, and I hope Père Noël finds you wherever you are. Yes Santa Claus, there is a Virginia.
Jay: touche'! That line got a round of laughter at Christmas Eve gathering tonight (with full crdit to you).
I hope everyone gets happy visists from Pere Noel.
And to all: One thing I miss most is the oysters at Christmas in Paris.
It's not only the oysters, but the salty kisses can't be beat.
Merry Christmas with love,
Mary
Joyeux Noël et excellente année 2009 à ti et à ton blog !
