Is Everything Okay?

I couldn't stop laughing at this cutie.  Thought I'd pass it along.  SMILE!!!!

Easter Greetings via Bunny Express -Postcard Friendship Friday #304

I apologize for getting this out late again.  I have had a difficult weekend.  The loss of my darling--the love of my life, sometimes hits me with a crash--and I am bereft.  Forgive me, please for the lateness of this post. I will do better as time goes on. 

I looked high and low to find out who Bunny Swift might be and came up empty-handed.  I fell in love with this unusual postcard as soon as I saw it.  I like the idea that little sprites bring joyous Easter greetings via Bunny express.

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy these first days of spring, whether sunny, rainy, snowy, or just plain foggy.

A Joyous Easter Greeting to you!

National Love Your Pet Day -Postcard Friendship Friday #108

I fell in love with this postcard long ago.  It is a part of my real-life collection.  The darling baby with those bouncing blond curls, reminds me of my own dear ones when they were small.  I adore the bunny, too--he seems to be enjoying the baby's great big, squashy hug.

Yesterday was National Love your Pet Day.  I thought this cutie would be perfect for both the holiday and for Postcard Friendship Friday!

Have a wonderful day wherever you are, everyone--whether it be snowing, sunny or rainy!

PS  Sorry about the mix up on LinkyTools this morning--I had PFF all set up to publish at midnight last night--but in doing so, somehow I put in the wrong dates so LinkyTools was closed.  It is open and ready for use now!  Thanks for your patience.

Bunny's Journal - Happy Pink Saturday!

This darling card was in Grammie's card collection.  There is something so soft and sweet about this little bunny.  I wonder what her day was like?  From the look on her face it must have been pretty wonderful!

So What About That Easter Bunny? - Postcard Friendship Friday #1

Welcome to Postcard Friendship Friday. This is my first time hosting this fun event. I admit I'm a little nervous--I hope it all works the way it's supposed to!


The Easter Bunny as an Easter symbol seems to have its origins in Alsace and southwestern Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1600s. The first edible Easter Bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s and were made of pastry and sugar.

The Easter Bunny was introduced to America by the German settlers who arrived in the Pensylvania Dutch country during the 1700s. The arrival of the German Osterhase, or Easter Hare was considered one of "childhood's greatest pleasures.

According to tradition, children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. If the children had been good, the Easter Hare would lay brightly colored eggs in the nest.

As the tradition spread and years passed by, the nest eventually became the Easter basket and the placing of the nest in a hidden area has become the tradition of hiding eggs.

Bunny Watchman

Here is another Valentine Card from my collection. This card was probably printed in the USA in the late 1930's. There is a small metal rivet in the top of his arm, which allows this darling little bunny watchman to swing his lamp.

The look on this hunky bunny is rather funny. I believe he LIKES what he sees!



Daddy Update: Last Sunday morning Dad walked my youngest sister down the aisle, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. He walked around quite a bit that day--and seemed the better for it.

The neck doctor had some discouraging news. According to the cat scan, there is a cyst which is lodged where the break in Dad's neck is. The Doc thinks Dad was probably born with it--but it seems to be impeding the bones from healing. But there was some good news, too--We saw the wound specialist on Wednesday. She was amazed at how quickly the top of Dad's head is knitting. Indeed--when I change his wound each day, I am amazed to see visible progress--It is a miracle to watch how quickly the flesh is covering over the bone, when the doctors said it never would.

Please pray for safety for all the family members and volunteers who will be at my parents' home this weekend. We have a LOT to do, including some serious work on the roof. It is my hope and prayer that we will accomplish more than we ever thought possible. Dad and Mom need to be in their own home. I would appreciate your good thoughts and prayers this Labor Day Weekend.

A Happy Easter

Most Easter cards are elegant flowery pastel affairs which delight the eye. Here you see an Easter card with a different air. I am not sure what these boldly colored and cheerful critters are singing, but it must be something fun.

I believe this card was printed sometime in the early 1940's.
