Okay, collectors, here ya' go!
Did you know that Norman Rockwell painted a series of 5 advertisements for Red Rose tea back in 1958? In the 1980s, postcards of these prints were included in boxes of Red Rose in Canada.
P.S. You can find these postcards very reasonably priced at - where else? - eBay!

I've never seen these before...neat! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome - and nice to see you here, Teashop Girl!
I have never seen these either. My what we learn here at Uniquely Tea.
Well, I really missed the boat on that one. I drank a lot of tea in Canada in the 1980's, but I guess it was my Tetley period - I don't remember the postcards.
I've seen one or two of these designs but did not realize they were a set. Wouldn't they be pretty framed and hanging together? Hmmm ...

I have a set of the 5 8 x 12 prints and the 3 post cards. Still in original mailing envelope from a Red Rose Tea promotion. I went on eBay to check prices because I want to sell mine but I didn't see any of these prints. Could I be looking in the wrong place? If you know where they are posted, please respond. Thank you.
