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!

A Gift for your Mother

Here's the perfect gift for your mother in law.  I love this humorous, vintage card!  I would suspect it's from the 1950's.  What do you think?
Happy Mother's Day!

Christmas Greetings



 A beautiful Christmas postcard, with a bright-eyed Santa and lots of holly leaves.



The back of the postcard.



Apparently, the post office was open on Christmas day 1909, notice the December 25 postmark.

Almost Caught

You'd better watch out... you'd better not pout...

A bright Christmas illustration.  The postmark is December 23, 1919, in Fulton Ohio.

Holiday Birds



This little greeting is unique - it is a bit longer and narrower than most post cards.  The message is holiday, however the scene seems so fall or spring with the green leaves and little sparrow.  It's a bit puzzling.

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!

Christmas Elves

To get you in the holiday mood, the jolly little elves wish you Merry Xmas!

This card would be delightful on your own homemade cards, as a scrapbook embellishment or in a seasonal collage.

The postmark is Fonda NY, Dec 22, 1911.

Caption this!

Not sure who looks more disturbing, the girl or Santa...
