This is a lovely unused 1940s Artistic note card featuring three flower baskets against a lovely shadowed background of soft yellows, purples, blue and pink. Two baskets contain flowers in shades of pink, blue, white, lavender, and yellow. The third basket is white on the inside (no flowers) because it is the opening described below.

These Handi-Note cards feature a small cut-out "window" near the top, and I suppose that is where one would write the recipient's name: "Dear Mary" or whatever. In this particular card, the "window" is oval and takes the form of the inside of the top basket. How fun!

The inside of the note card is blank, and the back features several flowers in purple and lavender, plus a leaf or two, against a touch of soft yellow.

The card measures about 4 inches across and is about 5 inches tall. The little oval "window" near the top of the card measures 1 1/4 inches across and about 1/2 inch tall at the wide part of the oval.

This card is in near-perfect condition.

The card has its own envelope which has aged to a cream color. The envelope is made of a slightly silky paper.

This sweet vintage card could be used in any springtime or summer vignette or display, or it could be sent to a very special friend. It might also work well in scrapbooking or paper crafting projects.

Because this is a found object, it is offered in "as-is" condition. It was found by me, along with literally hundreds of vintage treasures, in the actual New Hampshire attic of a non-smoking household.
