Spooning in the Moon

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.
Project ideas: use in a scrapbook lay out, use in a larger collage with a sweet quotation, use as a greeting card, use your imagination!

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!

(You should be able to click on the photo to see a larger version.  This should work on any of the cards posted on my blog.  If you right click to save an image, please respect and use for personal projects only.  Do not sell.)

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.


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