Aren’t these lovely?! This is an antique French Postcard, or Carte Postale, circa 1898… that has French Sheet Music on the front! The song is called Envoi de Fleurs (Sending Flowers). I researched this one a bit, it was originally written in the 1860’s and I actually found a recording of it on You Tube. You can listen to this charming song Here. if you like! I’ve included the back of the Card as well. A nice piece of Ephemera for your Collage or Mixed Media Projects!

Thanks, Karen! I guess way back then you’d send a song on a postcard, now we’d make a mix tape.
