Midge & Mondo Pines Field Mouse Greeting Card
$ 5.00 USD
5 x 7", blank inside
On a separate sheet, accompanying the Art Poster:
Midge and Mondo get on like a house on fire. And whenever they’re around, everyone knows it - there is such a spark between the two; it is both electric and contagious.
No one knows how or when the pair met; they’ve just always been. Daydreaming, talking, or simply cozied up with each other reading. Usually, if the latter, it’ll have something to do with cars. Mondo’s four-wheel love is the iconic Porsche 911, while Midge fancies a beefy 1969 Corvette L88 with the ZL-1 big block.
But, when reading turns to daydreaming, they chatter away about restoring an oldie: a 1949 International Harvester Half Ton. They found the mix of curves and power absolutely titillating. Heaven forbid (for the community at large) they should actually ever get it built, though. How on earth they’d negotiate the steering wheel, the gears, and the brakes clearly hasn’t come up in conversation.
Albert Finnegan Black Bear Greeting Card
$ 5.00 USD
5 x 7", blank inside
ON THE BACK OF THE CARD:
Albert Finnegan always appreciated a good tea party and hosted them often. But he got to thinking, “Why serve dainty finger sandwiches and delicate petit fours when I have all of these blueberries from up the hillside? I'll serve nice BIG pieces of pie. A-n-n-n-d I'll serve them on dinner plates, even if it is only mid-afternoon!” So he did.
Albert's tea parties were always a great success due, in part, to his generous portion sizes. But it was his charming personality and make-you-weak-at-the-knees recipes that had everyone coveting an invitation. So, after much encouragement from the neighbourhood, Albert and his love, Eleanor, opened their waterside patisserie, Portage. Dawn 'til dusk, they are serving up all sorts of sweet treats. Swim, slither, walk, or fly to Portage; eat on the patio or take away. But get all you can while you can because, come the first sign of snow, the culinary couple will be packing it in for the winter
Murray Maynooth Moose Greeting Card
$ 5.00 USD
A standard 5" x 7" greeting card with a blank interior.
From the back of the card:
Murray Maynooth, a very gentle spirit, is a veritable Thoreau on four legs. He lives in an off-the-grid, solar-powered geodesic dome constructed entirely of found twigs whittled to perfection by his old friend Ford Buckminster the Beaver.
Being a staunch vegan (his favourite autumnal treat is baked butternut squash with birch syrup), Murray spends his mornings foraging for berries and vegetables and crafting his harvest into wonderfully tasty treats.
Afternoons have him leisurely toot-tooting around the neighbourhood on his trusty bicycle. Not simply for the exercise: he loves the social that his daily ride offers. Stopping to chat at nearly every house, Murray always leaves a much appreciated package of preserves. The exchange of ideas is always invaluable, providing the pith for his ever-developing philosophies.
