I'm afraid this card is not as effective as it could be. Never mind that it's lacking the romantic embellishments of cute little cherubs and lacy bows and hearts. What's more important is that the featured vegetable looks like a turnip, and with no red coloring to prove its identity as a beet, it could be just about any tuber. Two hearts that rutabaga as one. Yes, I think that's it!
Here's a card with the same message:
It's quite lovely and romantic, but I'm not sure how the pipe fits in.

ReplyDeleteI have a small collection of vintage postcards. I decorage the Christmas tree every year with the holiday themed ones. This year, I turned many of the correspondance sides out, to view the beautiful old handwriting and postage stamps.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog!
Weird sentiments, but still very neat...just the fact that they are vintage even. Love the writing on the back. 1913...that's really cool!
