Birthday Greetings

This lovely birthday card was sent in 1909. The message reads:

This is to wish you a happy birthday. We received your cards yesterday. I am going to write soon. Momma is at Prospect. We are all well. Hope you are well by this time.

Dora

Stockholm, Sweden

I have a friend who is in Sweden right now, because his sister is receiving a Nobel Prize. How exciting! To celebrate, I am posting this card of Stockholm, which appears to show policemen or soldiers in a horse-drawn carriage.

My friend reports that Stockholm is a beautiful city. I'm sure it looks much different than it did in this picture from 1906.

Birthday Greetings - Silk Embroidered Card

I'm only familiar with the French silk embroidered cards, but this one was made in the United States, presumably right around 1920. If you're interested in silk postcards, Bill from the U.K. has a great website.
