Oh I really enjoy that first one, those little ones are just darling, and you know Mommy and Daddy are waiting on the other side of that door...But, the second one...reminds me of today's fast pace...they only signed their names! Hmm what does it cost to say hope you're doing well! or something don't you think!
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!
Lovely postcards, the first one especially, and of course the message leaves a whole bunch of questions unanswered :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love Christmas in the Land of Children With No Faces!! Guess the artist never made it thru that drawing lesson...
ReplyDeleteI really like these cards. They are wonderful.

ReplyDeleteLovely postcards
ReplyDeletesuch sweet postcards!!
ReplyDeletethe first one is my favorite!!!
Christmas Blessings to you!!!
I love the messages you find on the backs of cards! Early texting but without the bad spelling. :)
ReplyDeleteI think what fascinates me most about postcard messages is the evidence that people are the same, whether born now or a hundred years ago.
Cute cards. The first one reminds me of my childhood, but the second is my favorite.
