For more wonderful things in pink, visit Bev at How Sweet The Sound!
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.

If you know any historical information concerning these cards, photos and postcards, I would LOVE to hear from you.

My Mom had a box of these cards, they were really large. Have a great vacation with your sister.
That is adorable. Happy Pink Saturday and also Happy Thanksgiving.
Darling card Sissy...I'm doing okay...we have a real nasty winter storm passing through for the next few days...spent all day trying not to be blown away now it's snowing to beat the band...it's a sorry thing when you live in the Rocky Mountains and you're sick of winter on November 20th...LOL.
Glad to hear you are feeling better...have a peaceful weekend...Love you.
What a sweet little card! I'm late making the Pink Sat. rounds this week, I will probably finish next Saturday, LOL! Have a great week, Nan
