my super fantastic friend peta pledger (who makes amazing vintage style dresses for me and is also the next best thing to a life coach/psychiatrist) has an amaaaazing collection of vintage ephemera. and being the super fantastic friend she is, she let me borrow some of it for a while and paw all over her precious finds and generally go bananas and photograph it to share with you! so occasionally you’ll be seeing things ‘from the collection of ms peta pledger’. i’m calling them ‘groovy greetings’ because i like cheesy alliterations. first up, a very cute invitation card for a ‘kitchen tea’.

if i recall correctly a kitchen tea is like a bridal shower, but you give kitchen themed gifts, so- toasters ahoy. i really don’t get the wedding shower party type things but if you get cards like this its ok by me! this makes me think of some groovy bride to be getting all sorts of cute kitchen stuff. most of it orange. some of it with toadstools on it.
