Dolly Wood and Dolly Dutch

I found this one online... Isn't it a beauty?  I'm SO curious as to the dolls--they look handmade, or maybe they were a toy which was available long ago?

I tried to find them online, but Dolly Parton's Dollywood was all I could find.  If you know anything about this wonderful postcard and the dolls depicted here, please let me know!

Have a lovely week!

When the Owls Begin to Hoot -Postcard Friendship Friday #476

This has to be one of my favorite Halloween postcards.  The child in the clown costume, sitting in a pine tree with owls over the full moon...and a stack of Jack o' lanterns to boot.

When the owls begin to hoot!

Quickly don your Mummer's suit,

Steal softly out and don't be late,

For Hallowe'en decides your fate.

I love owls and have often heard them singing softly in harmony in the forests of my childhood.  I know where that term "hootenanny" came from!  Owls really do sing in harmony.

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Here's Some Luck -Postcard Friendship Friday #475

I adore black cats, and I love the idea good luck follows them.  I have a wonderful little kitten, SnowBug Da'Bean, who has long black fur and is a regular clown.

He's a blessing to me, that's for sure.  Have a lovely weekend, sweet Friends.  Happy Halloween and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Merry Hallowe'en!

I adore the artwork of Ellen Clapsaddle.  Her paintings of children remind me of my own when they were small.  She catches the essence of the mischief and beauty of childhood. 

Here two little girls are playing a familiar Halloween game, peeling an apple, then throwing the long peel over one's shoulder to see what letter of the alphabet it resembles when it lands.  The theory is that letter is the first initial of the guy or gal one might marry someday.  Haha

Have a great week.  Fall is here--but winter is not far behind.  Blessings and hope to you dear ones.

Watch the Flickering Flame -Postcard Friendship Friday #474

I like this postcard because of the cat.  The tiny black cat I dubbed "SnowBug Da'Bean" turns out to be a main coon.  In four months he is the size of my full-grown cat!  When he's full grown, he may be the size of a small dog--like the plucky black cat in the postcard.

Have a lovely weekend, Friends and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
