Vintage Hungarian Christmas cards #77

Today is the big day when the children find little treats in their clean and shiny boots in Hungary. That was St Nicholas (Mikulás) who visited them during the night and put his tiny present, mostly candies to the boots.

Well, this is why I have brought you here, to the blog a special postcard. I have to tell you that I was so lucky I could get this card. 

This is not a card which was printed in Germany, Italy or elsewhere in Europe in big quantity. This was printed in Hungary! This image was on the wrapping paper of a chocolate bar made in the Hungarian Chocolate Factory, in Szerencs.

St Nicholas's (Mikulás) bag is filled with Szerencsi chocolate bars and candies. The edges of this card are gold and I just love the colours of this card.

This postcard was posted in 1939.

Brown-Turquoise wooden box with gold flowers

Do you know the "chocolaterie" Jeff de Bruges? If not, you can hop to their site if you click on the name. But right now, all you have to know about them that this is a French-Belgian chocolaterie and their defining colours are brown and turquoise. 

So I wanted to create boxes with these lovely colours. And at my second try when I was making the round box I had found the exact colours I needed. These are: Marabu Dark Brown and DecoArt Indian Turquoise. 

I'm not really satisfied with the photos I made but believe me these colours are those colours :-)

Onto the top I embossed the flowers of the Paper Artsy Eclectica Kay Cerley 01 and 02 with Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder.

Now I have two big chocolate boxes to give them away :-)
