'Tis the Season



 for happy mail from Tiggy in Scotland. Tiggy made her card with a lovely robin motif. The European robins are so sweet.


For those that like to look at postage stamps, this very pretty stamp of the Magi following the star to Bethlehem.


The inside sentiment


Tiggy included information on how she printed the cards with her Letter press

Handset Letterpress
Front Cover: Block made in 1950s
Bells and Birds cast in 2016
Inside: Lead fount Madonna Ronde 36 pt cast in 1920
Song "Red, Red Robin" written in 1926

Thank you for the lovely card, Tiggy.

      It's too bad the sun won't be out today. It would have been beach weather!

    What a stunning card. I haven't made mine yet, but I sure like what Tiggy sent you from Scotland. That's a great postage stamp, too. It's always great to get real mail (happy mail), isn't it?

    You made me smile, thank you - never saw the bird here, though (but then I live in the city - Ingo sure would say, yes, saw some!).
