I love this card! Something about it is so charming - the two balancing on the edge of the sliver of moon, the happy moon face and it's changing expression, the dusting or tickling of the moon's nose, the clumsy man slipping, the woman catching him....so much in these two photos. So fun.

Caption this!
This is one serious baby! Not sure what to make of the outfit and the menacing looking toy clutched in his hand. What do you think?

Baking Bread
Perhaps these two are baking bread for the holidays...I guess there were no child labor laws in play at the time this old black and white photograph was taken. There is no postmark or correspondence on the back of this postcard. If you look closely the big oven on the left says "CHICAGO" at the top - perhaps a Chicago oven company.
What a funny old photo!

Tango Club
Another crazy German card. Just like the one I posted earlier, all the people are on ice skates. These six, all women, are in costumes. Probably originally black and white photograph with hand colored touches with a vibrant pop.
This one would make a great party invitation or be fun in a funky collage.

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