Love this!! This is an adorable little French Advertising card, that features two sweet birds, a nest and some eggs. So pretty!! I’m wondering if this may have been from a series… I only just have the one. Lovely for your collage projects!
So Beautiful Karen, and I too will be finding a project for this!

Oooooooooooooh! Really like this one. Last night I found Mary Jo Koch’s collage card kit at TJ Maxx. At $5 it was the best money I’ve spent in a long time. If anyone gets a chance to pick a set up, I recommend it.

Thanks much, This will be on something in my Mothers bedroom.
This little bird card is so sweet. Thanks for sharing the one card you do have. This would be so sweet transferred onto a pillow or a table runner. Can hardly wait to use it. Been trying to figure out how to reverse things with my printer for transfers. I’ve looked in the brochure that came with printer but no luck. I have an HP photosmart D110 if anybody knows how to do reverse images on it. I have to admit that I’m pretty digitally challenged so need explicit how-to’s. I don’t know who Mary Jo Koch is but I’ll sure look for her collage card kit. Was just at the new TJ Maxx in Grand Junction, CO the other day, didn’t know where things were. About the only area I really looked in was the home section.

Hi Karen, thank you for sharing this lovely card.
I guess theses cards (this one and the flamingo one) may have been created as reward cards for pupils (they were so fashionalble in France from the XIXth to mid XXth century), because the sentence at the bottom of this FAUVETTE (garden warbler) says: egg shown in full size.
The sentence at the bottom of the FLAMMANT says: egg shown half-size. A bit educational, don’t you think?
Yes Verderonne, I do believe you are correct, thanks so much for pointing that out 🙂
