I really like vegetable and fruit images for the kitchen. I bought this card of three radish embroidery appliques at an antique mall, thinking they'd be cute on a card. They're pretty old, company name is The House of Franken, address is 1400 Broadway, New York 18, N.Y. So pre-zip codes. Full price they were 59 cents, I got them for 30 cents. I made my own plaid free hand with gray, tan, black and red markers. I searched for vegetable puns and 'you are so RAD (ish)' came up. Do young folks still say 'rad'??? I found the vintage seam binding at Goodwill. Pretty old package, never opened. This was lots of fun.

Since I am ‘rad by marriage, I say yes. This is such a charming card, crisp and clean...the handmade plaid adds whimsy to those uber cool appliqués! I would have picked them up as well. Love the font...does it have a name? Puttin’ in my favs.

I love this! Great arrangement-your nice plaid really compliments the radishes. I love the backstory! That address is just below Times Square and on the eastern border of the Garment district

Jean, your cards always make me smile. All of them are so different. Love the veggie theme on this as well as the appliques. You always think outside the box making your cards so unique. I bow to you for the home made plaid too! Perfectly done!
