The sentiment on most of these is very sweet, but not so much on this one.
About Me
- Christine H.
- 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 charming greetings on those sweet post cards. They remind me a bit of the Ole and Lena characters from Minnesota! They are funny, and cute!
ReplyDeleteOuch! Rolling Pin!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe rolling pin card is a little hostile....haha
ReplyDeleteI'm moving and while packing and sorting found a rolling pin. Now I know what to do with it. I'll just have to find the right man.

Funny!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at some of my Dutch cards the other day. I'm wondering how this whole style started.
ReplyDeletegreat cards!
ReplyDeletei just love how the addresses have just the name,city,state! the street doesn't have a number..love it!!
You know, I didn't realize there was such a series of these postcards. I know they are stereotypical but I still love them. Except the last one, not so much.) Thanks for sharing them, Christine.
ReplyDeleteLike the colors and forms on the third one, but think the last one is definitely the best. I doubt many women clobbered their men with rolling pins, although they probably wanted to sometimes- it is alot more likely that the men were doing the whacking, but don't know if there any cards joking about that... It actually brought up fun memories of my grandmother chasing me around the house with a wooden spoon when I was a kid and had acted up- she was all bark and no bite though when she caught me!
ReplyDeleteNot just a great selection of cards, but a great selection of handwriting as well.
ReplyDeleteThere seem to be a lot of comic cards with a woman hitting a man with a rolling pin.
ReplyDeleteI love the rolling pin card.
