Sometimes I can't think of a treasure for Tuesdays, but the other day I found an old photo album that had my old swap cards in it. I used to love collecting swap cards. Those that had dogs, cats or horses were especially cherished. I used to dream of all the lovely dogs I would love to own and could only wish longingly for a pony!
Those days seem so long ago...
I thought I would share some pics of my cards. I did have many more but with time and a little sister many disappeared.

Those are such fun.... I'm surprised you haven't traced those cute little drawings (eg little girl with the apple tree) for stitcheries.... such lovely cards... I don't think you see them like that anymore...

I think it is lovely that you have this wonderful collection from your childhood. Very special.
ReplyDeleteoh my god how I loved my swap cards wish I had kept mine. Going to the shops to pick the ones that took my fancy....... those were the days no computers for us.
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous, what a great collection. Of course I adore all the animal ones but I must confess I was a bit of an Astro Boy fan too. Thanks so much for sharing today.
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely treasures.
ReplyDeleteCertainly bring back fond memories for me. The last one was one of my most favourite as my family always had black and white cats.
These bring back so many memories! I'll have to have a look for mine.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun collecting these cards... thanks for the wonderful memories your cards brought back to me. I loved collecting these and I think I've passed the card collecting genes onto the boys!!!
ReplyDeletehow lovely to have such wonderful memories to share x
ReplyDeleteGreat collection, love the dogs as well as the horses !
ReplyDeleteI loved collecting cards and scraps, what lovely memories.
ReplyDeleteMy son used to love collecting cards too. We used to go on Sunday drives and he would spend his pocket money! He looks back fondly now too..
ReplyDeleteHi Marina what lovely memories from your childhood and wonderful that you still have them to whisk you back down memory lane when you want. Great treasure.

I can't believe that you still have them! I am sure that I had those cats and some of the horses. They bring back very fond memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection! I can see that you love animals as I do.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing it all!

I've just popped over from Peg's blog. Those swap cards bring back lots of memories. I think I may still have my cards somewhere in a cupboard. Must look for them!
