I am playing along with Cindy's Eye Spy meme each Sunday. This week the theme is Eye a spy ... a collection.
So may I present my (now vintage) swap card collection.
I wonder if you can pick which decade I collected these in?
Thank you to Cindy for hosting Eye Spy and also for letting me choose the theme this week. To discover more collections, head over here.
I'm guessing they are from the seventies. Are they?
ReplyDeleteThey are cute!
Oh no! Your post made me cry! I have a post coming up (if I get around to it) about things I've lost including my lost swap card collection! I still have one album but the best one is gone (I think I've accidentally thrown it in the bin) Treasure your beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I had no idea that you collected vintage swap cards. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh they're lovely! I still have my swap c ards too- I had a plan to photograph them and put them on dolls' dresses. We mucst compare collections!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely 70s Karin. And I am laughing Curlypops, because they weren't vintage when I collected them ... they were new ... and have become vintage - along with me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking at my own vintage collection recently, 2 albums full. One is dedicated solely to matching pairs of baby boys and girls (sad or what)
ReplyDeleteThe whole swap card thing must have passed me by growing up in the UK - I have never heard of them. This makes me sad because they are beautiful and I know I would have loved to collect them too.
ReplyDeleteGreat Collection HB
Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI still have mine and my big sis's ;)
These are beautiful! I never saw these as a kid either, but they are great! They are precious little works of art.
ReplyDeleteooh look at all the colours :D really nice collection!
ReplyDeleteI do believe that you and I are exactly the same (ahem) vintage.... and I had lots of the same cards when I was a kid in the 70's. I let them all slip into oblivion (or into people's current "vintage swapcard" collections?).
ReplyDeleteI would of never guessed - there you go. Thanks so much for this weeks theme.
ReplyDeleteI recognise many of those cards from my own collection of the same vintage :)
ReplyDeleteMine are long gone now - off to the Oppie in the early 90's I think..
oh they are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh my! What delightful images. Such fun.
ReplyDeleteI too used to collect swap cards in the 70s and still have them all, neatly displayed in a series of folders.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing yours - I think we may have some of the same ones.
Oh, I wish I still had my huge swapcard collection. I recognise a couple of the ones you show here ......
ReplyDelete*sigh!* happy days!
oh cool! thats what i collect too...you have some great ones!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous Liesl, loving the mushroom one. Reminds me of the swap cards I had as a kiddie, but never kept (darn it!)
ReplyDeleteYou've made me want to join in on this theme, even though it's a week late (oops).
That is an amazing collection! I am impression... and more than a teensy bit jealous!!!
