From the Collection

Handmade greeting cards made by Florence (McKeown) Decatur (1898-1983), wife of Fred J. Decatur (1901-1977). They were given to Elsie “Dolly” Gordon (1929-2011), from 1979 to 1982. The cards are mixed media. They feature in paint, ink, and textile. In most cases, there are tatted flowers.
