On the forth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
I love retro and every time I walk in to a store, if there is an Anne Taintor display, I am always drawn to it. Time usually flies quickly as I lose myself while reading all of the fun, witty captions.
I first shared my love of Anne Taintor with you in a post last year and I am so excited to share these designs with you again.
They carry everything from stationary to shot glasses and although my favorite item is no longer available (a passport cover that said “We all have our baggage.”), I have my eye on a lot of their magnets and lip balms.
Their holiday cards are a great item to have and send to loved ones over the holidays. The package I received said “all she wanted for Christmas was a nap”. I can’t wait to send these out to all of the hard working ladies I know. Send your holiday greetings out in retro style this year with Christmas cards from Anne Taintor.
Anne Taintor has generously offered one lucky This Bird’s Day reader packs of Christmas cards as a giveaway (ARV $50).

“he fully appreciated the eroor of her ways” Interesting.
“an attitude is a terrible thing to waste” – just for my daughter
I think my favourite phrase has to be I’m going to be the most popular girl in rehab! but I also love Gay apparel was putting it mildly for Christmas cards.
I used to have postcards from Anne Taintor on my cupboards in my first apartment.
i love the saying…..”she was one plum pudding from a yuletide meltdown”
I don’t suffer fools gladly… but I do gladly make fools suffer
LOVE IT!
I liked bite me

This one sounds so fitting for a single mom like myself…
…and then the children cleaned their rooms, got mommy her drink, and went straight to bed. The End.
LOL … I really like “why don’t you go Xerox your ass?”
“Stop me before I volunteer again” is my choice.
I’ve been coveting the Xmas cards with the caption, “”gay apparel” was putting it mildly.”
My favorite Anne Taintor is really hard to pick…love LOVE her xmas cards…but this is one of my favorites all around…
…and then the children cleaned their rooms, got mommy her drink, and went straight to bed. The End.
“can I retire now?”

I really like the quote:
did somebody say “open bar”?

My favorites are “what’s a nice girl like me doing without a drink in her hand?” and “stop me before I volunteer again”

I LOVE Anne Taintor… I have these Christmas Cards from a few years ago that I keep in my box (refusing to give them away), because they’re hilarious… I had a great time browsing the site and chuckling at the cards. My Holiday favourite is: “Fortunately, she had remembered to stock up on the Prozac before going home for the holidays” also loved “She was one plum pudding from a yuletide meltdown” …

I like the comment, because I’m a mother…that’s why.
“Choosy moms choose beer”. So true!
Gotta love ‘Domestically disabled’ – didn’t know Anne Taintor could describe me so well!
It’s so hard to pick as I like so many of the captions but I think I’m going to have to go with “Why yes, I am that kind of girl”.
as promised, she served him his balls on a tray
favorite saying….i dreamed my whole house was clean…i wish!!!
ta-daa! now let’s have a cocktail…
My favorite!!she was one cocktail away from proving his mother right
“Choosy moms choose beer”… LOVE IT!
“I love NOT campimg”!
“all I want for Christmas is a nap”

“as promised, she served him his balls on a tray” as well as “domestically challenged” cuz that is so me!
“hell yeah, I’ve been naughty!”
“I cheat at reindeer games”
Frugal is such an ugly word
“An attitude is a terrible thing to waste” is my current favorite.
My new fave for Christmas is-
“the mistletoe wasn’t the only thing that was going to get hammered”
I laughed out loud!
I like “I love not camping”. Friends will tell how true this is of me.
armed and dangerous

I have so many favorites! “High maintenance doesn’t begin to cover it” “Honey, you couldn’t handle half of me” “She was one cocktail away from proving his mother right”. My holiday fave is “Hell yeah, I’ve been naughty!”
My favorite is “Choosy Moms Choose Beer” of course!! :)
There are so many phrases that I love, but this one defines me, “oops! I spent the grocery money on shoes again…”
“domestically disabled” totally applies to me. i’ve been an anne taintor fan and friend since before the world knew who anne taintor was. in fact, i have at least one of her earlier collages that she made by hand. now that’s OLD.
My favorite phrase for is, “Fortunately, she had remembered to stock up on Prozac before going home for the holidays.”
My favorite is definitely “fortunately, she had remembered to stock up on Prozac before going home for the holidays”. Makes me think of my in-laws. :)
I like – frugal is such an ugly word!
I like “You’re never too old…to try something stupid.”
I meant friend
I like “it’s called a “condom”, Daddy…write it down”
The key word is “alleged”
Favorite saying :)
Each new caption I read found me a new favourite! I really like the “You saw Mommy kissing no one, understand!”
I have many favourite captions, but loved this one: “why, I’d be delighted to put my needs last again”
“the mistletoe wasn’t the only thing that was going to get hammered” this one really cracks me up, nothing like an extra glass or two during the holidays!!! i love all of anne taintor’s stuff!
These are great! this one is hilarious:
martinis… they’re not just for breakfast anymore
I like the themes portrayed on the cards that is the women back in history. It is retro alright!
These are all so cute. I really like the Christmas sleep one, but even more I like the “whoever said laughter is the best medicine had clearly never tasted scotch”!
All I want is an umbrella in my drink is a good line!
Sorry, I’m backtracking here.
I got so excited about this.
I love the saying
“high maintenance” doesn’t even begin to cover it
lol
Wow, I get to give birth and change diapers. That about sums it up for me right now!
I like the “Because I’m the mother that’s why” :)
I like your blog!
“choosy moms choose beer”
One of my favorites “and to think that I’m only using one-tenth of my brain!”
I enjoy retro as well and Anne Taintor is the best!
I LOVE Anne Taintor!! Fave phrase is “are you certain you want to interrupt my coffee break?”
