The message scrawled on the front of the card says:
Awful sorry I could not get down last night but was at Delhi yesterday and was so tired I could scarcely dance to bed. Heard you had a big time. Am as tired and lazy today as if I had danced all night.
I assume that Molly sent the card. She appears to have lived in Lake Delaware, New York, which is just outside of Delhi, in an area of upstate NY between Binghamton and Albany.

Lovely flower hat thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by... I love hiking up Beacon Rock. I had no idea about the "blowing it up" plan! Glad that didnt happen! Have a good rest of the week :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great phrase "so tired I could scarcely dance to bed" - I suppose that's preferable to being so tired you can't hold up a big hat.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

That's a great picture, and I liked the dance to bed phrase too.
ReplyDeleteOh,I love that phrase, too! Fun post for the day and that is SOME hat! Have a great week!

Beautiful antique postcard. I just found one in a used book I purchased. Yours is great for H!
ReplyDeleteI have never looked good in hats, but maybe that one would do the trick! lol In England, all the ladies wear huge hats to weddings. Thanks for popping in.
ReplyDeleteChristine, The message makes the postcard very special. At first I thought she meant "the deli" then I noticed the postmark. Postcards are fascinating and you make them very entertaining!
ReplyDeleteFascinating hat and message. Special H, for sure!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. I bet it was fun to wear hats like that!
ReplyDeleteI love vintage postcards. This one of the pretty lady in her huge hat is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFascinating to think of where this postcard came from, who is the person that wrote it and what happened to her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit! Have a nice day!
I love old postcards, sometimes just as much for the charming personal messages they carry.
