Is It Vintage - Happy Families Playing Cards

Do you remember the game? I do but I didn't play with these cards, we had more common cards - I remember. These ones I found from Imatra, Eastern Finland. We visited flea markets and one place was full of funny things like these playing cards. I think these can be from 1920-50's. What do you think?

I found my family or I found my occupation, haha...there's no woman photographer - it's a man's world in these cards. Wife is only making her daily make up but...well, things change don't they? We make changes by doing things differently.

Is It Vintage is one of my blog's series. I post it once in the month. If you want to see more of these go here. 

I love old and frayed. I love things with stories and history. I wonder who has played funny games with these pretty cards? I hope they have brought a lot of joy to their owner or owners. Maybe we can play Happy Families with these cards on Christmas Eve. What are you going to do when you are waiting for Santa Claus?

  1. Funny cards! Good that times have changed… We might really be playing cards while waiting for Santa, or watch the starts and hope to see him for the first time. Just to find out that - oops - he managed to get in and out without being noticed. I wonder how many years I will still be able to play this game with my kids...
