Beautiful Christmas Scenes

I'm guessing these are from the early 1930s (?).

In any case, they are richly colored and beautiful. There's no writing on the backs.

An Odd Christmas Card from Granny

This is one of the oddest Christmas cards I have encountered.

I like it because it's addressed to Eric Brasie of Brasie Corners, New York. The town was obviously named for his family. I also know from another postcard addressed to Eric, that his father was the postmaster.

Here's the back of the card.

To Ruth from Ethel and Fred

Ethel sent her sister Ruth in London a few cards - one from Felixstowe and one from Folkestone.

Here are the backs of the cards in the same order.

The message reads:

Dear Ruth just a card to ask you if you can put me up for one night as I shall be home on Thursday and shall probably go to the flat on Friday. I shall not come until after xx o'clock as I shall be calling at mothers first hope you are all well Love from Ethel

The message on this one is a little harder to make out, but seems to say:

14 Warren Rd Folkestone
