Fun and Sun - Postcard Friendship Friday #105



I have a special spot in my heart for Kewpie dolls.  My darling Sissy Clytie has been going through some boxes of cards saved by our sweet little Grammie.  Sissy happened to come upon some postcards she thought I would like.

I lived with my Grandmother for several years before I met my husband.  Grammie and I were best friends--this card is one of those I'd given her.  Our grandmother loved little dolls, especially Kewpies.

In light of the weather here in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, I am celebrating the idea of sunshine, spring and warmer weather.  It has been grey for WAY too long!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

*  NOTE: You don't have to stick to the theme I choose each Friday. Just put up the postcards you love and tell us why you like them.

*  REMINDER: Comments and links which contain advertising and do not refer to any of the following; Postcard Friendship Friday, mailboxes, the Post office, postcards or the love of postcards, will be deleted.

The Sun's Travel


The sun is not a-bed, when I
At night upon my pillow lie;
Still around the earth his way he takes
And morning after morning makes.

While here at home, in shining day,
We round the sunny garden play,
Each little Indian sleepy-head
Is being kissed and put to bed.

Here is another old poem, and illustration from my beloved, yet tattered book of Children's Verse, which was published around the turn of the century.
