Greeting cards with envelopes, 5 cards in a pack, with pictures from a painting of Vigdís Ingvadóttur (1864-1957) or Vigga, the last wandered woman in Iceland.

Vigdís Ingvadóttir (1864-1957) or Vigga as she was called, was the last wanderer woman in Iceland. She was born in N-Hvammur in Mýrdal, Vigga was not appreciated in her own home and left to wander when she was only 10 years old.

Vigdís mostly wandered between homes in Mýrdal and was always welcome everywhere. She was very happy when she was handed some rags, buttons, wool or ribbon, because she used them to decorate her clothes. Vigga was intelligent, knew a lot of poetry and was quick witted.

Artist of the painting: Eva Dögg Þorsteinsdóttir
