    Cool antique store find.

    I was lucky enough to snag this neat hand-drawn envelope at the local antique store today.

    Very neat little find.

    Excellent find! Just hope no one criticizes him for the length of his kilt.

    How slick!

    My grandfather Murdoch Macdonald used to do similar watercolor cartoons. Made his own Christamas cards for many years.



    Now gotta dig them out and see if he did any Scotsmen.

    Thanks guys! I'll have to dig around downstairs to see if I have a frame that would work.

    Ron...I've always loved hand-drawn envelopes and post cards. The only one I ever personally received was from a tattoo artist back in the mid 80's. You'll have to post some more of your grandfathers work if you can.

    What a great find, Al.

    I wonder what the post office would do with an envelope drawn up like that nowadays?
