Liz challenged me to show my collection of bridge tally cards. I don't play bridge. My mother played bridge when I was a child, but that was years ago. Somehow I have acquired a collection of tally cards..I think it must be the graphic attraction.
Unopened cards in original packages with flowers and cats.
I love these dogs near the line of laundry.
Even the type faces they used on the interior of the cards are charming and sweet.
These came from the auction I hit in Kansas this past fall.
St. Patty's Day
For the dog lover
These are in a pad form.
Charming ladies
The tally part of these cards are quite fancy.
Short and sweet on this challenge, It you want to stick around maybe we can play a game of bridge...I've certainly got the tally cards. Three no trump? I double!
If you have an idea for a future collection challenge, please leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of ____". I will see what I can pull from my stash.
happy day.
My spinster (and I mean it in the kindest possible way) Aunts were fantastic Bridge players - I would spend some time with them in the Summer and they would let me play Bridge - I loved it, but for the life of me I can't remember how to play - I imagine it would come back fairly quickly if I were to try.

I hope you have a proper card-table tablecloth in front of you. I am not a tally collector, but those graphics and the typefaces sure are sweet.

That collection is super cute ! I love tally cards too - although I have never been much for playing card games. You are making it look like fun however !

Those dogs are too cute. I love a good tally card. It is like a sweet little greeting card. So glad you found something cute this way. I am wondering what your collection of vintage tins looks like. I have a thing for bread boxes with decals?

All that's missing Laurie is your Lodge Badge and your speech for President! Loved this post, and your photo puts it over the top! E
