This little Spaniel reminds me of a stuffed dog I had when I was a little girl. It had long soft hair which I would brush until it shone. I wanted a real dog just like her. I named her Fluffy.
When I was a teenager my youngest brother used to take her from my room to sleep with at night. I remember being SO annoyed at the time--but now that I'm older I think its rather darling.
I love the memory of your brother, too. I can just picture a cute little guy in pajamas. These dogs are quite popular now in San Francisco. They are incredibly sweet!
Howdy Beth Happy PFF to you :) Oh my what a sweet card and your little brother truly added to the pleasure of reading your post. Thank you sweet lady for sharing today. Blessings of joy to you . Happy Trails
Very cute little dog and if Abe had his way, we would have another, but I don't want to go through housebreaking a dog, running him to the Vet's by myself and all the other things you have to do with a pet. Right now we have a cat and that's enough at one time. LOL Going old and lazy. I don't know much about abbreviations on the computer, so what does PFF mean.
The title of my blog, "The Best Hearts are Crunchy," comes from a comment made years ago by a five-year old girl, as she thoughtfully perused a tempting box of Valentine's Day candies. She is probably a grown mother by now, with children of her own.
I loved what she said so much, I wrote it down on a napkin.
About Me
I am interested in vintage cards, postcards, history, people, art, drama, old books, music and photography. I enjoy discovering the root meanings of words, I love stories and I like writing.
Fills My Eyes
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.
MY "CYBER" POSTCARD COLLECTION
Over the years, I have gathered together a large "cyber" collection which I often refer to for Postcard Friendship Friday and Guest Heart Thursday.
I don't always remember where they came from, so if any of these wonderful postcards, cards, or other ephemera came from your site, let me know and I will add a link to your blog.
Copyright information can be found at the bottom of this page.
Hearts and Flowers
I have collected vintage cards, fairytale books, postcards, old photos and art pieces since I was a small girl.
Even before I could read, I spent hours looking at old cards, coloring books and illustrations in my fairytale story books. I am sure my love for art and even my own drawing stylings came from my fascination with them.
Mail was so rare, I saved every card and letter I received as a child. Some of those nostalgic items will be shared on this blog.
Quite a few of the vintage pieces I have collected reflect the life and times of history itself. The cards, postcards, antique photos and art from my collection are dated from the late 1800's, through WW2. Many of these old cards come from our darling little Grandmother Jenny. I have also included some items from the early 1950's which were given to me by my precious Gramma Gladys and dearest Nita.
In a very real way, this Blog is my way of honoring these marvelous inspiring artists and the ongoing influence they've had in my life.
I hope you will enjoy the beauty, tremendous skill and sometimes whimsical work of these long-gone artists as much as I have over the years.

Adorable card. The dog reminded me of a puppet spaniel we used to have in my parent's car. His head nodded and twisted with the movements of the car.
Sweet little Spaniel card and an even sweeter memory of your little brother taking your Fluffy to bed! Hugs, Coralie
My family had a cocker spaniel when I was a baby and I thought it was a really big dog then.
How precious! I love the pink bow.
I love the memory of your brother, too. I can just picture a cute little guy in pajamas. These dogs are quite popular now in San Francisco. They are incredibly sweet!
You see the King Charles spaniel in old paintings too. Cute picture and great story.
What a great card! Love the idea of your little brother borrowing your little spaniel!
Aww!
I have talked about getting this kind of dog, I just love their faces!

Adorable doggie card! I think I vaguely remember "Fluffy". I had "Rocky". Aren't memories fun?
Precious story... beautiful dog. Thanks for sharing PFF!
