A Wonderful Discovery

I have been doing some cleaning, sorting and straightening in my studio area. It's something I try to do every year about this time. Sometimes I discover half finished projects. (Yes, I'm as bad as the next person about that.)

And other times I find wonderful treasures.

I like to go to auctions to see what bits of vintage this and that I can find. Quite often the best finds are those that are buried deep in a box I bring home. This is one of those treasures.



A deck of cards made for the game of Rook. Rook is a trick-taking game, usually played with a specialized deck of cards. The game of Rook was introduced in 1906 by Parker Brothers. A Rook is also a member of the Crow Family. Hence the Crow on both the box and one set of cards.



I think these cards will be awesome to use in a creation! I shall have to consult my muse......
