A Jolly Halloween -Postcard Friendship Friday #189

When I was a child, "us kids" loved to play beneath a tall fir tree in the woodlands behind where we lived.  We played there so often, the earth had become packed hard like a floor.  We would sweep the tree needles from the dirt floor with the fragrant ends of fir branches.

In October we sometimes would decorate our magical play place for Halloween.  Paper ghosts hung overhead from long pieces of thin string, jeans and shirt were stuffed to give the likeness of a scary headless man lurking in the shadows. There were places to sit, scraps of cloth spread over crookedly devised tables.  We had a some candles and carved pumpkins, of course.

But when it actually came time to go out into the forest on Halloween...in the dark.  We couldn't make ourselves move from the back porch to the woods.  We had so scared ourselves with ghoulish ghost stories and the like, we had become frightened of our own shadows!  Still--it was a GREAT deal of fun to decorate underneath that tree. 

Have a jolly Halloween and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

You're a Good Skate! - Guest Heart Thursday

This is another Valentine's Day Card made in the USA, sometime in the late 1930's.  It seems to have been well-loved.  I love the  outfit the little girl wears--short dress, bloomers, matching anklets and Mary Jane skates.  I'm sure that little boy with his sailor shirt, blue shorts and matching socks, is showing off a bit for his small lady love.

For more heart art, photography and altogether fabulous heart stuff from around the world, visit Clytie at Random Hearts for Guest Heart Thursday.

Happy Birthday, Honey - Pink Saturday

My darling husband's birthday is this Sunday--hence this card with the darling little boy.  I know this sweet fellow is wearing red checks, but all babies are pink--and therefore I felt 'twas a good choice for Pink Saturday!

Howdy!

This darling card was part of my Sister Clytie's extensive collection. When I fell in love with this artist's depictions of little children, she gave the set to me. I am SO privileged, and I treasure them. Not only because the cards are perfectly wonderful, but because they were given to me by my precious sister.
