Green indeed... so why does the fella on the first card have a club/stick? I know us Slovaks wielded little willow whips at Easter in the old days, but it was all in good fun!
That's the finest St. Patty's Day cards I've seen. That top postcard takes the prize. What a great collection! I think the stick was used to beat color-blind folks away that tried to pinch him.
A heartfelt thanks and farewell to my readers. My last post (the thousand and first!) will be on November 7, 2012. The blog will remain online, but there won't be any new posts as I need to make time for other things. There is a chance I'll be back, but if so it won't be for awhile. I hope you'll take the time to peruse the archives.
How To Find Things
There's treasure in the archives, so here's how to browse and find what you want:
1. Enter a search word or phrase in the box below - anything from Princess Grace to Prohibition or Graf Zeppelin.
2. Or, go down to the bottom of the page and browse the "Cloud of Tags". The number next to the tag indicates how many posts have that tag. Clicking on it will bring up all of them. (I realize now that it doesn't always bring up all of them. If there are a lot, then it will only bring up the most recent ones, but if you click on older posts at the bottom then it will bring up more.)
3. You can also go through the archives by date. Just click on the triangle next to the year or month to open the list.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
Very nice, and ecologic, too.:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards!
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed how the shamrock is morphing into a four-leaved clover these days? I'm glad these ones aren't. Sláinte.
ReplyDeleteSheila,
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that. I think there needs to be some shamrock outreach and education - accompanied by beer, of course.
Thank you for sharing them. They are all so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are great cards! The first one in particular is a fabulous design.
