I did a cursory search for information on this vintage food label, but came up with nothing. "Verhampshire" is a contraction of Vermont and New Hampshire. And "sugarhon" seems to be a contraction of "sugar" and "honey." This must have been one incredible sweet concoction!
The red flap does lift, and under it is a bee on a bright yellow sunflower. Winter still has a grip here and it seems spring must be hiding somewhere else.

I like it a lot! Wish I could see the bee & sunflower!

I tried to scan the card with flap open but it doesn't open all the way. I'm really pleased with how thecard turned out though so I'll probably do the same technique again.

Bring on the warmth. I really don't want to skip spring and go directly to summer. We do have a lot of pollen and the bees are getting active here though. Nice card, PostMuse.

Everyone's been buzzing about bees on the blogs!
It must be on the verge of warmth!

You cannot see the bee. Is it alive or dead? Like Shroedinger's cat? sure. And with colony collapse, well, it might have just flown to Australia. I hope the recipient isn't allergic.
When I'm in VerHampster, I'll look for evidence of sugahon, or honegar.
TGIF.

Schrödinger's Bee .... very funny! I might have to do a whole bunch of postcard with bees behind flaps.
I'd love to buy those labels from eBay, but I'm afraid of eBay.
