The Summer Girl -Postcard Friendship Friday #517

What a lovely young woman!  I can't even begin to imagine anyone from this time period wearing such a hat!  But back then, it was all the rage...  Imagine having to wear long skirts all throughout the day.  I'm so grateful to be living in 2020!

I hope you have a beautiful weekend, dear Friends.

Autumn is Here -Postcard Friendship Friday #239

I love this postcard--this girl is magnificent in her Autumn array.  She's just perfect for today's Postcard Friendship Friday.  It is hard to believe only a week and a half ago, it was over 90 degrees outside!  On the official first day of Fall, an Autumn storm swept through, and it has been storming off and on ever since.

It has been a hard week for a number of reasons--May the remainder of this week be pleasant and sweet for all of you, dear ones.

Enjoy the crisp Fall air, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday.

Reluctant April Fools -Postcard Friendship Friday #114

I have many good memories associated with April Fool's Day.  We celebrated my sweet Grandpa's birthday with lots of goodies--and lots of fun.  I still miss Grandpa--he was my best friend growing up.  I would have a hard day at school.  As soon as I got home I would walk across the field to tell him all my woes.  I can just see him sitting there, listening to the tearful confidences of a tiny girl of six or seven.  He was so kind and gentle to me.

Later in life, as I became interested in vintage ephemera and the history behind it all, I was astonished to find so many pictures of people hugging fish! 

This trend was born centuries ago, when some folks refused to change their celebration of the new year from April 1st to January 1st.  Those people were considered, er, stupid--like a young fish and pranks were played upon them.

I love this postcard.  The lady has such a funny look on her face.  She does NOT look happy to be hugging those fish.  She is enduring until the picture taking is over.  Heehee

Have a lovely day and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Long-Haired Beauty

I just love these old postcards! Isn't she beautiful?

When I was a little girl, every Sunday Grandma, Grampa, Uncle Dale, Dad, Mom and the rest of us kids would pile into the old car to drive to church. On our way there, I remember seeing a lovely older woman who would regularly walk through the field next to the road with her silver knee-length hair streaming out behind her. I was fascinated--she was so beautiful.

As a small girl, I made up my mind to grow my hair as long as hers, so that someday I could walk through a field in the early morning sunlight, with my glowing hair drifting into the breeze.

My hair is nearly to my waist and the shiny silver is coming in. (grin) Perhaps I'll make it yet!

I Love My Rug -Postcard Friendship Friday

The beauteous lady is truly lovely, and seems to have great affection for that bearskin rug she's leaning against. If you enlarge the picture, you can see the look on her face belies the body language of her pose. In fact, the expression on her face is a little unsettling. (Eeek!)

Somehow, though, something about this postcard makes me laugh. I don't know what it is, except the title I Love My Rug totally fits! (grin)

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
