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...

Isn't that sweet?  A joyous weekend to you, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Summer Romance -Postcard Friendship Friday #368

I am sorry for not posting last week.  I was hosting a drama camp in my home for a group of little girls.  We had SUCH a great time!  I was totally distracted by all that had to be done beforehand.

I adore this postcard.  The old costumes and the sweetness of love and daisies.  Summertime sweethearts.  I miss my Beloved, walking hand in hand at the park... His funny stories, his laughter--the way he saw life.

Don't take your family for granted.  Life is fragile.  Enjoy every moment.  I hope you have a GREAT weekend, dear friends!

The Daisy Fairy -Postcard Friendship Friday #363

My garden is burgeoning with flowers.  My lawn is starred with tiny white and pink daisies.  The large daisies are out too--tall, long-legged blooms, snaggling over the bird bath to wink at the cat sitting below.

As a little girl, I dreamed there were fairies in my garden--sometimes even now I think I see them from the corner of my eye.  I've always had a whimsical way of seeing the world--so I wouldn't be a bit surprised to catch a real one hiding among the roses someday.

The sun is shining and the feeling of summer is in the air.  Have a lovely weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Girl and Her Pal -Postcard Friendship Friday #325

This wonderful card was printed in the United States in 1975. A high school student, at the time, I received this from a pal I'd met at camp that summer.

I love the whimsical nature of the little girl hugging her bouquet of flowers and the cat's happy pursuit of the yellow butterfly. From her adorable dust-covered feet, one can tell she's been barefoot for most of the day.

This card brings back so many good memories. Long hot summers spent playing in the woods, chasing up the trees with my cats, building forts with my siblings and cousins. We truly had a wonderful, magical childhood.

I apologize for missing PFF last week.  I was dealing with a lot of pain that week and ended up visiting the hospital emergency room.  After the tests were evaluated, the ER doctor sent me to a surgeon for consultation on an immediate hip replacement.  I have been momentously distracted. I will try to have PFF up and running each week, but I may not be able to respond to your comments, if it is too close to when I have the surgery.

Please know how much I appreciate your visits.  I especially enjoy the comments you leave for me.  May God keep you close to His heart, dear Friends--Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Daisy Girl -Postcard Friendship Friday #316

One can find this little girl on multitudes of postcards which came out in the early 1900's. I have not been able to discover her name, or when the photo for the postcard was taken. She is such an adorable child. I have loved these wonderful postcards for years.  Oddly enough, my sweet niece could be her sister!  Children are such a beautiful and joyful part of life. 

I was so intrigued by this particular postcard that I endeavored to draw her. Of course, my drawing doesn't do justice to the beauty and innocence of this lovely child.

God bless you, sweet Friends and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Daisies In Her Arms -Postcard Friendship Friday #280

I apologize for posting late.  So much is happening in my life right now.  I am just totally distracted.  I'll have this coming Friday's post all ready to go so it will happen whether or not I'm here or there!  Thank you for your patience.

I am re-posting another charming postcard of the enchanting little girl who has so caught my imagination--This postcard is number two in a series of six which were produced in the early 1900's by Tuck & Sons. The series was called "Sweetie."

Here the small girl glances longingly toward the artistic bundle of grasses and daisies in her arms. I am sure she was wishing she could run outside and play--perhaps in sunlit fields filled with those happy-go-lucky daisies.

These postcards are a part of my "cyber" postcard collection and were sent by Pearl, who's amazing postcard collection is ever an inspiration to me.

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Dover Daisy Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Here is another offering from Dover Publication.  Every few weeks they send a sampling of the things they offer.  I love their publications and have been a fan of Dover for many years.  

This beautiful heart with daisies in such detail is a delight to the eye, just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.

Have a joyous sunny day, and Guest Heart Thursday!

Daisy Bouquet in Heart Pot -Guest Heart Thursday

After a few days of sunshine the rain is back.  It feels cold, dank and wet.  I think we were spoiled--even last night it was a balmy 62 degrees!  A rather uncharacteristic Spring warming.  At least there are flowers everywhere.  Their bright colors brighten one's eyes as the rain steadily patters. This heart-shaped pot of Daisies seemed perfect for this week's Guest Heart Thursday!

We are to expect wind, more rain and maybe a thunderstorm or two today.  It should be quite exciting.  Or so I hope.  With that tiny taste of Spring--I'm ready for flowers and warmer weather.

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Daisies and Violets

 

This is another card from Grammie's wonderful collection.  More than likely it was chosen for her best friend Ruth.  Daisies are such cheerful flowers and violets so tender of heart. 

Today I awoke so tired.  Deadly tired--So I'll not write much here today.  Only to say how precious to my heart are those Friends who are such blessings to my soul.
