My Heart's Queen -Postcard Friendship Friday #492

What a darling postcard!  I love the idea of a cherub small enough to swing under a posy of daisies!

My Heart's queen is

A Maiden fine,

I'd like to be

Her Valentine...

A Brief Line

I love this beautiful postcard.  There's something so romantic about the way she holds her lover's letter to her heart.

Romance was a beautiful thing back in those days!

A token of True Love

Wouldn't it be fun to see a REAL Cherub?  This dear little fellow in his blousey pantaloons of blue is adorable.

I hope you are having a GREAT weekend!

Blessings, hope, joy and love to you, dear ones.

Stand and Deliver Your Heart!

Now this is a masked bandit I would LOVE to meet!  Isn't this cherub the picture of cuteness and determination?

Happy Valentine's Day!  Have a GREAT week!

A Joyful Easter

I am often inspired by these wonderful postcards from the past.  They just don't make them like this anymore!  This one is especially beautiful, with it's pussy willow border, blue forgetmenots and pink ribboned eggs.  The whole picture is graceful and lovely.

A joyful Easter to you all. 

My Heart's Message -Postcard Friendship Friday #392

Isn't this a charming vintage Valentines Day postcard?  I adore the imaginative artwork which these talented artists of old left behind for us.  I am inspired when I see these sweet old postcards--the color, grace and beauty which some people deem corny, or old fashioned, I find to be refreshing!

It is hard to believe this will be the third Valentine's Day without my Beloved.  Yet I see Alan's touches all over my home and they make me smile.  I do miss him, but Spring is just around the corner bring with it all the hope and beauty of renewed life.

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Love's Greetings - Postcard Friendship Friday #345

Hello, everyone.  I posted this lovely postcard in 2011.  Since I'm out of the office for so long, I'm putting this up again.  This little fellow is pretty cute.  I love the blossoming border, as well as the hearts bursting from the box.  Just darling.

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday and Happy Valentine's Day.

May Love Light Your Halloween Lantern! -Postcard Friendship Friday #330

I posted this lovely little postcard in 2010.  I have been so busy this past week that I'm reposting it.  It was is a first to find pumpkins and cherubs together!  I had never seen that before or since.  The idea still hits my funny bone.  These two little fellows look like they are up to something, don't you think?

This weekend will be a poignant time for me.  This coming Sunday will be the two-year anniversary of my Beloved's home-going. Some days it seems as though he left just yesterday, yet other times it is as though he has been gone for the longest time. I miss him.

Grief is like the ocean--there are storms of tears--then moments when the waves sparkle in the sunshine. I will always, always be thankful for the great adventure my husband and I shared. What an unusual life I have led!

That adventure continues...I walk hand in hand with the Creator Who loves me, I walk through the valley of shadows, I drink of cool refreshing waters. I sit with Him in the sunshine, laugh and weep with Him in the rain... I am grateful for His Presence here with me. He is my Friend.

In the meantime, enjoy the harvest, pumpkins and celebration, sweet Friends.  Thank you for your good thoughts and prayers. Have a great week, everyone, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Angel Hugs

This is a wonderful old postcard featuring a beautiful girl and small cherub. These old photographs are so precious.  So much work was put into them. 

I often wonder about the lives of the people one sees in these pictures.  Life is so different now-a-days.  These folks knew how to celebrate Christmas beautifully!

Merry Christmas, dear Friends!

Of my Love -Postcard Friendship Friday #257

I apologize once more for my lateness in putting this up.  This weekend has been a hard one for me--My first Valentine's Day, without my beloved.  I'm sure he knows how much I love him--and I know I will see him again one day.

In the meantime, I thank God for the wonderful years we had together.

Have a lovely Valentine's Day weekend, dear Friends--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!

Christmas Greetings

I will be posting quite a few Christmas postcards until the holiday is past.  I love Christmas and the beautiful images to be found celebrating that day.  This postcard is especially beautiful with its bright colors and delicate gold detail.

God bless you all, dear Friends.  Have a lovely weekend.

A Cart Full of Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I had a hard time finding a Christmas card with hearts this time around--so I settled for this cutie with his cart full of hearts.  I just love the background of trees, pond and beautiful sunset.

Have a beautiful rest of the day!

Love Mends Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I love this postcard of a broken heart.  I remember what Jessica Tandy, one of the actors on the wonderful movie Fried Green Tomatoes said of broken hearts.  She said, "a heart can be broken, but it keeps a'beatin' just the same."

Thank the Lord for our dear ones--the family and friends who make life worth living--your love really does mend a broken heart. 

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Heart of Roses -Guest Heart Thursday

The lady in pink reminds me of some of the artwork by the old masters.  The meadows and scenery are beautiful.  That cute little cherub with that heart of roses is adorable.  I hope you enjoy this postcard as much as I have!  

Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday.

Cherubs, Fairies and Four Leaf Clovers -Guest Heart Thursday

I know Valentine's Day is past, but I just HAD to share this postcard!  Though it says "to my Valentine," it rather seems to be a combination of Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, along with a smidgen of fairyland--just perfect for today's Guest Heart Thursday.  As you can see--the clover leaves are shaped like hearts!

Heart for Lunch

I don't know why--but this postcard is disturbing--I can't put my finger on exactly what bothers me about it.  I've never seen one like it before.  Maybe it is that the heart-shaped pots over the flames don't look like they especially like the idea of Cupid's having that heart for lunch.  (grin)

However, I do very much like how the bow and arrow and tree frame the postcard.

Have a great week everyone!  Valentine's Day is less than a month away. 

Captured Hearts

Looks like Cupid has been busy--he and his friends look pretty proud of themselves.  I believe, from the expression on their faces, that Cupid is in the middle--obviously the ringleader and full of mischief.

I wonder who lost their hearts to this band of cherubs.  And where are they taking them?  One can only speculate.

Happy Valentines Day!

Oh, Fairest of Creation

What a lovely postcard.  That little cherub looks like he's going to kiss this beautiful sleeping beauty.  Milton said it best, "O fairest of creation, last and best!" 

She looks like one of the Gibson Girls in style and profile.  There is such grace and beauty to be found in the art of that time period.

Heart Hunt -Postcard Friendship Friday #150

I love Valentine's Day.  It is one of my favorite holidays--rich in history, romance, art, song and stories.  My collection of Valentine's Day cards started years ago, when I was at an estate sale in my home town and bought an old catalog into which a child had pasted all the Valentines he had received over the years.  What a find!  Since then my collection has grown to include many beautiful vintage cards covering all kinds of holidays and sentiments. 

I especially loved this postcard with these cute little cherubic heart hunters.  I wonder what kind of bird laid this amazing clutch of heart shaped eggs?   What do you think?

Have a lovely day everyone.
