I scored a big pile of swap cards yesterday, including these beauties. I love old swappies and either save them or use them to package my brooches and pedants on. I had an urge, (after seeing others collections in Flickr and blogland) to re-live a girlhood pleasure and get swapping. I have many double ups and think it would be a very fun "Big Girls" activity.....got it, want it, NEED IT!
ooooh, love the cards you found! How delicious! I too collect swap cards, and regret deeply not holding onto mine.... I don't really know how they disappeared..... I'm thinking of using some of mine as swing tags on my products.
ReplyDeleteI have some cards I'd be happy to swap!
You have to sit side by side & speed through the ones you don't want to swap.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh - they bring back so many memories of 1970s playgrounds! I think I even had one or two of the cards you show here (the little tiger and the owls look very familiar).
ReplyDeleteI long for the wonderful, huge stash of swapcards I had as a child!
Kirsty - you're totally right! There were even a couple of special benches in the playground that were dedicated swapcard seats :-)
ReplyDeleteMine were all stuck neatly into a big scrap book. I wonder if they are still "at home", i.e. Mum's place ....
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'd be up for a swap card swap! It was great to meet you today at our unveiling...
