Birthday card, something to read about
These messages are not available just to the English speaking world; greetings are available in many different languages. The Blue mountain cards company was started in the early 1970s by Boulder, Colorado couple Stephen Schutz and Susan Polis Schutz as a vehicle for their hobbies (illustration for Stephen, poetry for Susan). They began by combining Stephens artwork and Susans free form poetry to create poster prints that embodied their shared feelings about life, love and nature, very much in keeping with the hippie culture of the time. Blue Mountain was originally conceived as a poster print business after Stephen and Susan persuaded a local Boulder bookseller to sell several of their prints on consignment. The business took off with the posters popularity; soon other area stores began carrying the prints.
