This little piggy...

This card is not very glamorous!  A color photo of a sow and her piglets - the back of the card says "Almost a Dozen."  And, if you count, there are eleven little piggies in the photo. 

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!

This is an interesting old photo card.  It seemed so faded, I hesitated posting it onto the blog.

Original photo - faded and forlorn.

But when I used the "auto color correct" the details came through.  I think that the details are so interesting.  They seem to be sitting on some porch steps in front of a door, there's a rug beneath their feet.  She has a bird pattern on her stockings.  He's wearing a large pinkie ring and white socks. 

Antique photo postcard, color corrected.

The postcard was used, but there is also writing that says "Mabel + Jim" What's their story?

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!

Happy Birthday, Dear Friend!

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

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.

What a funny looking pair on this antique photo postcard.  Father and son, perhaps, or two brothers?  You decide:

Junior:  Aw, Pa, don't you whup my head again.

Pa: Son, I said put that hat on straight and look at the camera.

Junior:  Aw, Pa, my hat's too small!

Now, add a caption of your own...
