"Really, now, I am not sure this is what I signed up for."

Flowers for Mom

Happy Mother's Day!

This is a lovely embossed and gilded flower postcard.  The back is a blank, traditional postcard back with not identifying markings.  The front is colored, cut out, and embossed.  It really is a pretty card.  Perfect for mom on Mother's Day!
Have a lovely day!

Girl with Geranium

I love this beautiful hand-colored springtime postcard. There is just something about it that is so sweet and innocent.  This comes from an undated, hand-colored photo card printed in France.

I'm thinking of you...

(front of folded card, 3.5 x 8 inches)

I love this adorable friendship card.  There are no other words to describe this kitschy-cute character other than adorable, right?




(inside of card, 7 x 8 inches)

  This is an un-used, vintage thinking of you card.  The details on the front are raised.  The outline of the question mark is metallic gold.  What a cutesy vintage gem!

Secret Pal!

Did you ever have a secret pal?

You know, the kind that left little gifts and played tricks.

Vintage Secret Pal - April Fool card.  The card is embossed, has metallic accents and a "gem" inset in the flower.  It's are great card!

Hearty Birthday Wishes!

Happy Birthday, my friend!
A week filled with birthdays and celebrations! 

I love this quirky vintage card.  It has a beautiful flower horseshoe and it's fuzzy!  What a fabulous vintage card.  Who wouldn't like to receive a furry floral birthday message?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my 12-year-old daughter!  Wow! 
(Beautiful, vintage color and gilt postcard with relief texture.  I love the colors and the sweet meadow scene in the center.)

Feeling Under the Weather

 Hope you're not feeling ill...

Enjoy this little gem - a sweet vintage get well card.  The paper is textured, the edges are scalloped, and the colors are bright.  A sweet and sappy delight.

Hearty Greetings

With Hearty Greetings

and Best Wishes

for a Merry Christmas

This sweet little, hand colored post card photography gives a floral Christmas greeting.  The back of this card says Printed in Saxony.  It is unused and has no postmark.  I don't know what era, but I am guessing 1910-1920's.  What do you think?

My daughters told me today is the first day of the twelve days of Christmas - so soon!  The holidays really have been sneaking up on me this year!

Poppy

A colorful Poppy greeting...with a melancholy message.



POPPPY - Consolation
"As full blown poppies, overcharged with rain,
Decline the head, and drooping, kiss the plains,
So sinks the youth."
