I couldn't believe when I opened this box at an Antique store recently to find these sweet Tally cards!
I didn't expect to find anything so cute when I lifted this lid. I don't know how Bridge is played or what pieces it comes with but these cuties were not what I was expecting. I just liked the pretty box!
Along with these little cuties were these sweet ring shaped Tally cards.
I was amazed at how well their crepe paper bonnets and bows had held there shape!
The lady that checked me out commented that she had seen those and thought they were cute but since she didn't play bridge she decided she didn't need them! Can you imagine? Buying these little sweet cards and using them for bridge?
I wish you all a wonderful weekend, Lindsey

What an amazing find, Lindsey--well done!!! I certainly wouldn't use those crepe cuties for keeping score--much better things to do with them, I think! Have fun creating!!!
I think you will come up with some very fun uses for these little sweeties. What a super find I love them.
What a cute find! Double luck or should I say triple, or even better multiple. Have a great weekend too ladies!
Oh such a treasure.....
I am a bit jealous, Oh I love it.
The fine colours and the lovely hanging card....oh such catch.
Nice weekend
Very sweet, you just had to buy the box! I love those sweet little faces! Hugs, Diane
These little bridge accountants are simply scrumptious! What an incredible find! Like something you see in a wonderful dream and as you wake up, you try to hold tight, TIGHTER! But, alas, it fades from your fingers' grip... *sigh*
NOT this time, you lucky dog, you!
How adorable, Lindsey! How fun to open that lid! It must have given you a real giddy up! ♥
Hi Lindsey,

They totally rock, Lindsey! I am looking at those crepe paper beauties thinking how sweet they would be on a place cards, or a spring lunch menu or something like that. You will have to find a way for us to re-create them. Enjoy your new peeps!

Lindsey, Fainting in Ohio! Oh my goodness! Just letting you know I have a fun swap just beginning. I have saved you a spot just in case, but not to worry at all if you pass this one by. You have been one busy paper gal lately! Again, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful find! Have a great weekend! Elizabeth
Those tally cards are the cutest thing I've ever seen! That's why we go in search of a treasure ...sometimes we find one..or two! They are beautiful! ♥
Oh my gosh Twyla, those are so much fun! What a find! I'll look forward to hearing how you will display those cuties. (GASP! I can't imagine anyone using something so dear, makes me feel faint.)
Happy weekend!
What a totally cool find! Isn't it fun to open the lid to a 'mystery' and find those?!
Lovely : )
Never seen any think like them before. Great find!
They tried to teach me how to play Bridge when I was going to college and that is one game that I couldn't understand all of the terms. They are so cute and you don't have to use them for that.
We had rain sleet and snow, now we are back to a Heavy Mist. I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't gone out to move the car so they could finished blading the driveway. Take care.
Really super great!! What a treasure!
Hugs, Lisa
That is a WONDERFUL find! Those little girls are stinkin sweet and I bet you will have fun with them!
Happy Weekend Lindsey and Twyla!
Warmly,
Deb :)
