A Happy Christmas - Guest Heart Thursday #251

I love this artist's work.  This young girl looks so much like my sweet Friend Emily.  Those eyes, that lovely face, that heart-shaped mouth--they're so familiar!

We had a wonderful Christmas.  I know people have been praying for me and for my family.  I'm so grateful--God heard your prayers for us.  Thank you--you know who you are.  ((HUGS))  I pray your Christmas was a happy one, too.

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Heart Hat -Guest Heart Thursday

I adore drawings and artwork from this time in history.  She looks a lot like drawings of the Gibson Girls which were popular around that time.  Then, large eyes, rosebud lips and peaches and cream skin were the ideal.  This young lady, with her heart hat seemed just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.

Have a lovely weekend!

It's a Bull's Eye! -Guest Heart Thursday

I have a wonderful collection of  old Valentine cards.  It all started years ago, when I was in my early 20's.  I went to an estate sale in my town and for $1 bought an entire book of old Valentine cards, which were pasted inside.  What a wonderful find!  I also have a large cyber collection of old cards and postcards, like this one.  It is great to have a place to share them.  

Does anyone know what kind of flowers those are???  Have a lovely weekend all you heart-lovers!

A Gift of Love -Guest Heart Thursday

 
I love this postcard--I was looking for a heart in the rose, just so I could post it for PFF!  I found one, too--right where the fairy is sitting, there's a perfect petal heart.  I would LOVE to play inside a rose the way this little fellow is--wouldn't that be fun?!  

Have a lovely day!

The Waiting Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Isn't this young woman beautiful?  Her complexion rivals the rose.  I do love the way the artist painted that rose.   And with the lovely maiden portrayed inside the enfolding heart, I thought this postcard perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

Don't Step on a Bee Day -Guest Heart Thursday

Over the past year or so, the Willamette Valley, here in Oregon has some experienced tragic losses of bumble bees and honey bees due to pesticides.  It breaks my heart to see this.  I've always loved bees--especially the bumble bees. 

Bees are important to everyone in the world.  Without bees, pollen would not be spread.  In the United States alone, honeybees pollinate more than 100 food crops, including apples, zucchini, avocados and plums. The bee population is in such crisis, experts are convinced we are one one step away from disaster.  

In light of these facts, to celebrate a special day in honor of bees seems just right to me, and perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.

Have a lovely day, and make sure bees are safe and welcome in your yard.

American Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

This does not have hearts in the picture--but it does have the word hearts!  I enjoyed the stunning borders of this postcard, and those children are adorable.  It appears the boy is a budding dress designer, eh?  He seems to be making the flag into a gown for the girl.

Happy Guest Heart Thursday, and Happy Fourth of July!

Greet My Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

This postcard is so sweet--I love her bloomers, and the way her wings sprout from her shoulder blades.  The flowers on the heart and hearts in the basket are such a dear touch.  Just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!  The note to her Mom on the back of the postcard, is, er, interesting.

Potted Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I had a lovely time with my friend, who came to spend Wednesday night and Thursday with me.  What a wonderful time we had!  We walked, talked, laughed...ah, we had SO much fun.  She and I also worked in the garden for over two hours.  Wow!  It looks SO lovely.  

I thought this funny postcard, with cherubs and heart flowers was perfect for Guest Heart Thursday--especially after a lovely afternoon of gardening with my darling Friend.

Little Heart Holder -Guest Heart Thursday

I adore the added detail which must have been added by the photographer.  This little one does NOT look happy to be holding that heart, or having her picture taken.  I surmise she'd rather be outside playing!

Have a sweet day and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Gift of Love -Guest Heart Thursday

I love the roses and the immediate appeal to the eye is just wonderful.  However, I am mystified as to why this little cherub would be roasting two hearts over a fire in an anvil!  Perhaps the idea is to set two hearts on fire?  Maybe that circle upon which the hearts are hanging--is a wedding ring?!

Any ideas?  (grin)  Have a lovely day, and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

This Heart's For You! -Guest Heart Thursday

It looks like she is saying "this heart is for you."  I love these old photos.   I have seen this girl and another French girl, in many photos taken around this same timeline.  There's something so sweet about them--and I love the feel and style of the photography.

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
