Things I Love Today: Playing Cards

Spring brings up thoughts of leisurely afternoons spent playing cards games and solitaire at the dining room table with a glass of tea. Wouldn't it be fun to play with a set that has a little more style?

This Hungarian artist sells packs of gorgeous hand-designed playing cards for $42. And you can find fun vintage sets online, like this Etsy seller's handsome vintage set that must have seen quite a few rounds of bridge. Could be a fun idea for a Valentine's Day present.

Those look fun.

I think of card playing as more of a winter or rainy day activity. When spring hits, I want to be outdoors walking on the beach or tending my vegetable garden.

Funny you should mention it -- I spent last night with my son gluing all of the hearts cards to his Valentine's box. I'm putting a picture up on Thursday.

LOVE these cards, too.

I also love looking for vintage monogrammed Tiffany playing cards on eBay. I think a new set would make a smashing hostess gift.
