More Saint Patrick and Things of Ireland

More Babies

Saint Patrick was actually born on the British mainland and then kidnapped and shipped to Ireland as a slave, working in the mountains as a shepherd. Saint Patrick is often associated with driving the snakes from Ireland. While it is true that there are no snakes in Ireland, this may be more mythical, representing his effort in converting the Irish.

Saint Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland and of many individual churches and dioceses throughout the United States. He is patron to those in fear of snakes (ophidiophobics), those who have been bitten by snakes, and of excluded people, and of engineers.

Saint Bridget (aka, St. Brigid) was a great lover of the poor. She was born to a Lord of Ireland, who arranged a marriage for her. Determined to create a life of devotion to God, she pled her case to the bishop who arranged for her to take her vows quickly. She was quite beautiful and it is said that she denounced her beauty and prayed to have it taken from her so that no man would be attracted to her. Her prayers were answered until her vows were taken - and then she re-gained her beauty. Some say that Saint Patrick himself was the bishop who heard her final vow.

Saint Bridget is that Patron Saint of Travelers as she set up so many convents throughout Ireland despite the terrible conditions of the 5th and 6th centuries when she live. She is also patron to babies, fugitives and sailors.

Our lovely medal is made of silvery metal in Italy.

See Saw Margery Daw Plaque

Cat & Fiddle Button

This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque measures about 7 inches wide by 5-1/2 inches high. The whole story is here:

Hey-diddle-diddle
The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away
with the spoon.

This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.

The cow jumping over the moon is the delight of so very many children of all ages! The actual meaning is a bit fuzzy. Some say that it represents the rise of Richard III to power. Others suggest that it represents the constellations in the spring sky. Still others attribute the little poem to a description of Queen Elizabeth I and her good friend Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. She often referred to him as her lap dog.

In Amy Airbus's (sic) unlikely babies, something new has entered the world with the irreversible impact of raw feeling made visible. -Richard Avedon

This is not merely a book of baby pictures. the 49 tritone images in this 64-page hardcover represent the tincture of all life and more - joy, trauma, exhilaration, curiosity, torpor, love.

The little die cut is made of lightweight cardboard rather than paper, so there are lots of possibilities.

Deftly trimmed, the back reads To: and From:, so you can just punch a little hole to easily make it into a tag. The tag measures 5-3/8 inches wide by 3-3/8 inches high.

First published in 1985, Good Dog, Carl is beloved by so many (after 200,000 sales)! We bought this book when it was first published in a wonderful (long gone) boutique in New York City - right when it was first released. We are still just as charmed by it today as we were then.

Carl is every child’s favorite Rottweiler, the dog with the dexterity and responsibility of an adult. Carl takes care of the baby Madeline when her mother is away. Lunch is bread and butter on the floor, followed by a quick hop in the tub, a speedy blow dry and back into the crib – just in time for Mom’s reappearance.

THIS BOOK IS SIGNED BY ALEXANDRA DAY AND A STAMP-PRINT OF THE REAL CARL'S PAW.

Of course, there are lots of big babies out there who might love this as well.

We bought this in an old, old craft store in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania neighborhood before it "went modern".

Jack & Jill Plaque in Blue

This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque from Invicta measures about 8 inches wide by 5-3/4 inches high. Jill and Jack are running with their pail as a couple of bunnies and a bird look on. It is made of light pink hard plastic and includes the Jack and Jill Nursery Rhyme:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.

There are so many sources of origin claimed for the Jack and Jill rhyme, that it is hard to know which is true. Many nursery rhymes began as satirical poems regarding the politics of the day. Still others were meant tell the stories of history to children, modified to help soften the harsher news.

Some say that Jack and Jill is the story of the beheading of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. Others insist that it was modeled after a fairy tale about 2 childhood friends in Norway. And still another associates it with the British monetary unit, gill, and the jackpot that ensued for the country.

This postcard features a reproduction of his Good Morning/Good Night Baby series. After having taken a large number of photographs of babies in the morning and at night, he created a collage of the children in different stages. This one is Good Night - featuring putting the babies to bead or bathing them. Almost everyone of the little ones is crying.

There is a sweet picture of a girl and a boy on a teeter-totter made of a log and plank, accompanied by a bunny and some birds. It is made of light blue hard plastic and includes the Margery Daw Nursery Rhyme:

See saw Margery Daw,
Jacky shall have a new master;
He shall have but a penny a day,
Because he can't work any faster.

This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.

In researching the meaning of this rhyme, we have found that it probably wasn't meant for children in the first place. It was most likely a worker's rhyme used by men sawing large logs of wood using two-handled saws - to help them keep time. It's origin appears to be in the 18th century and Margery was a poor country name, and Daw meant an untidy person. Working rhymes generally contained references to wages and eventually made their way into children's lives through their working fathers - just as the see-saw did!

Vintage Pastel Mêlée Bouquet

Bright Spring Bouquet

Our enchanting little bouquet of flocked paper forget-me-nots is reminiscent of those special decorations of the 50s. These tiny paper flowers arrive in a bunch which can be easily separated so that you can use the individual blooms.  There are about 8 little bunches of about 5 flowers each. Add a brooch pin to the back and you'll have the perfect corsage for springtime and summer gatherings.

SilverCrow's bouquet is a mélange of pastel colors featuring pinks, blues and a touch of yellow and cream in some of them. We fell in love with this special bouquet as it reminded us of flower embellishments from our early years. You'll be delighted with the special care taken in making these diminutive buds. We only have a limited amount, so don't delay!

Because of the colors, this would add a delightful touch to a baby shower favor.

Saint Anthony Medal

St Anthony Medal

Saint Anthony of Padua was born a wealthy nobleman, but, much to the consternation of his family, he became a poor Franciscan Friar. He was such a wonderful speaker, that it was rumored that even the fishes loved to listen to him.

St Anthony's patronage is very broad, but he is best known as the patron who helps retrieve lost things. He also protects sailors, pregnant women and the poor and starving.

Our lovely medal arrives alternately with an entreaty, such as pray for us, or with an image of St Francis of Assisi on the reverse.

Library Date Due Slips

Well, you can't have a library without expecting people to return the items they borrowed! Our time-honored date due slips are ungummed. Traditionally, a small line of glue across the top of the slip holds it in the book. The librarian,  of course, expected to lend the book many more times than possible with a single slip - so this method of attachment made it easier to replace the used slip!

Of course, there are most probably a million new innovative ways to use these slips - particularly for baby showers or baby gifts.

Pink Plastic Nursery Rhyme Plaque - See Saw Margery Daw

More Vintage Items

See Saw Margery Daw in Blue

This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque measures about 8 inches wide by 5-3/4 inches high. There is a sweet picture of a girl and a boy on a teeter-totter made of a log and plank, accompanied by a bunny and some birds. It is made of lovely pink hard plastic and includes the Margery Daw Nursery Rhyme:

See saw Margery Daw,
Jacky shall have a new master;
He shall have but a penny a day,
Because he can't work any faster.

This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.

In researching the meaning of this rhyme, we have found that it probably wasn't meant for children in the first place. It was most likely a worker's rhyme used by men sawing large logs of wood using two-handled saws - to help them keep time. It's origin appears to be in the 18th century and Margery was a poor country name, and Daw meant an untidy person. Working rhymes generally contained references to wages and eventually made their way into children's lives through their working fathers - just as the see-saw did!
