Joy to Your Heart - Postcard Friendship Friday #104

Just recently, hearing about the crash of my external hard drive containing years of scans and my vast collection of ephemera, my good friend and Bro Phil sent this wonderful Christmas postcard.

I know Christmas is long past, yet still I find myself humming Christmas songs as I do my work around the house.  For me, the holiday is all year long and every day.

Though spring is just around the bend, I love the beauty of this postcard--the little girl in blue, holding holly leaves, surrounded by sparkling icicles.  She makes my heart happy!

Have a lovely day, everyone!

A Feller Needs a Valentine - Guest Heart Thursday

This has to be one of my favorite Valentines.  This young fellow's face is full of pathos--as is the whiskered pup, as he sits at his master's feet.  Don't you just love his patchwork coat and untied shoe?  What a dear young man.  Just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.

A Valentine Message - Postcard Friendship Friday #103

I love Valentine's Day so much I just had to share this lovely postcard I found on Card Cow.  I love the wonderful postcards there!  I have special permission from the owner to use these lovelies for Postcard Friendship Friday.  There is a link in the sidebar if you'd like to visit--if you love postcards as much as I do, you'll find yourself lost in a world of beauty and humor.  I'm grateful to Card Cow, especially since my external hard drive crashed and I no longer have access to my scanned collections of cards, illustrations, photos and such.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Garden of Love - Postcard Friendship Friday #101

This 1940's Valentine's Day postcard seemed appropriate for this day, as the earth awakens, blossoms and unfurls itself from winter's clutch.  If you look closely, you can see the tiny metal rivit, which causes the girl's head and arm to move!

Yesterday my neighbor brought over a bouquet of green leaves which have tiny white flowers adoring them.  The aroma from those flowers fills my kitchen as it wanders into the dining room.  It is the fragrance of spring--indeed, whenever I catch a whiff, I feel the heady joy of Spring Fever surging through my mind.

I love gardening. Throughout spring and summer one can find me crooning over my plants, telling them how beautiful they are, and bidding them to grow for me. (grin) I know--it's a little crazy to talk to plants, but I do. It is probably my imagination, but I think they grow better for me when I talk to 'em.

Have a lovely day everyone!  I'm so grateful the sun is shining here today.
