And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that have never been. —Rainer Maria Rilke

These lovely letterpress cards reflect the hope with which we face each new year. Two snowbirds—juncos, in fact—perch close together on a silvery branch, crowned by Rilke's simple invocation. The message inside each 5"x7"New Year's card reads, "May you find happiness throughout the coming year." An ideal way to greet friends overlooked in the Christmas rush; also great for thank-you notes. Set of six cards, with envelopes.
