Back to School

I love this humorous vintage note card.  Since my kids went back to school last week, I thought it might be appropriate...

Laundry Line Notes

I have been finding more treasures - looking through boxes that have been stored away for years or while cleaning out the drawers of an old dresser.  Post cards, note cards, greeting cards galore!  Here's the first few to share, from a set of pretty note cards I found in the back of a drawer of an old desk; there are about 10 different designs, here are two, with the center one being what the backs look like - a little post card.

I love the kistchy laundry theme .  These would be great for scrapbooking or collage.  Feel free to "borrow" and use the image.  Right click the image and save to your computer for later use.  There are a few more images in this collection, I will post them over the next few weeks.  Enjoy!

Googly Gator

This googly gator gets me every time - he has a squeaker embedded in between two layers of card.  When ever I pull a new card to post, he gives a squeak!

Welcome to my Kanga-Room

Thought I'd send you a picture of our room!

I think the color travel card is so funny.  I am not sure what the yo-yo has to do with the scene, but the Kangaroo looks pretty annoyed.

HOT!

It's been HOT here!  This funny illustrated postcard comes in many incarnations, each with a different desert-climate city on the top panel of the sign.  I have several of them, each with a different city.

Western Saturday Night

I love this silly card from the 50's.  It's fun to look at all the detail that went into this illustration.

Is this what your Saturday night looks like?

Vacation is over

I thought this was a humorous vintage card - it pretty much sums it up.

Now, to get back to reality.

Wild Rose

A great reproduction, color postcard, labeled "Rosie 1909" 

I love how goofy she is - what a silly card.

Another little piggy...

This is a lighter take on the pig card:

A fun vacation card proclaiming: "Met a lot of suckers here!"
The illustrations is a bit playful and fun on this color, vintage postcard.

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!

Happy Birthday, Dear Friend!

Happy Birthday, dear friend!
A lovely vintage card with a sweet little poem.  This one was published in 1909.

The Whole Family

Did you spend the holidays with your family?  Hopefully they didn't look like this:

It is such an interesting card, with writing space on the front, as well as the back.  The back says "POST CARD" but has no other markings.
I think the black and white illustration is so clever.  Take a look close up:

And, I hope your family gatherings are more pleasant than that one!

Great Expanses!

A little humor to lighten your Monday...

A vintage, illustrated card.   This one is undated but was used in the 70's.  Judging from the texture of the paper and quality of the printing, it is much older than that.  A great vacation postcard from the "wild west"!

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!

Shamrocks and voilets

A beautiful shamrock card to start the week - looking forward to St. Patrick's Day.

Animal Badminton

A little levity -

I love this color illustration of the squirrel and rabbits playing badminton.  It certainly evokes springtime, doesn't it?
It is such a cute card - The illustration is somewhat reminiscent of Beatrix Potter.  It is also similar to the Shopping Kitties card I posted last fall.  There is something charming about cute animals doing human tasks.
A lovely vintage card.

Wisconsin

Greetings from Wisconsin....With this vintage, large letter postcard.

The back of this unused card tells of all the attractions of Wisconsin.

Thinking of the people of Wisconsin as they continue to make history.

Happy Rally Day

Happy Rally Day!  This little gem of a card is a Rally Day Invitation - a reminder of a bygone holiday.  Celebrated to honor George Washington's Birthday, this year's Rally Day is February 23.
The card is a cute, color illustration showing three children with alphabet blocks.

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.
