Greeting Card - A fantastic tradition
We've all experienced that fantastic rush. It's the week before your eleventh birthday, the school bell sounds, you hop on your bike, you ride furiously all seventeen blocks home, throw the bike in the dirt, run to the front porch and check the mailbox for that special birthday greeting card from grandma and grandpa that live up North. If it's not there you bow your head, pick up your bike, put in the garage and wait for Mom to mend your spirits. If the card is there, your young hands tremble with delight as you carefully open the envelop so as not to tear the beloved contents.
A greeting card is a long and well-loved tradition dating back generations. From Christmas to birthdays to graduation to valentine's day to a baby's birth a well-timed card has always served as a lovely and simple acknowledgment of momentous occasions in everyone's life.

(ContentDesk) October 5, 2005 -- Toronto accessories designer Mary Rajotte knows winter.
Growing up in the Great White North has taught her a thing or two about how to dress when the mercury falls.
It has also made her realize that one doesn't have to be unfashionable to be warm.Out of this knowledge and experience, collarettes were born.
Not quite a scarf, but definitely just as functional as one, Sparkle & Shine Design's mini-collars are hand crocheted and embellished with dazzling glass beads. Scalloped edgings, also beaded, add a touch of the girly-girl without being over-the-top cutesy."There are three great things about our collarettes," Mary says.
"They are not as bulky as a full-blown scarf. They are all made with cotton yarn to keep you warm. And they are definitely more fashionable than that polyester one you got in your stocking last Christmas!"Current designs available now at www.sparkleandshinedesign.com include the Valentina - a fashionable...
