That child seems quite large next to that turkey bird!  I can see why the poor birdie is running away as fast is he can.

Thanksgiving Greetings -Postcard Friendship Friday #478



Yes, can you believe it?  Halloween is past and here in America, Thanksgiving is on the horizon--then Christmas.  Time passes so quickly sometimes.  I remember as a kid, summer lasted for three years!  Not so now that I'm older.

This postcard is such a charming reminder of family and Thanksgiving.  Though it is my experience that wild turkeys are not very friendly!  These must be domesticated.

Have a lovely weekend, Friends!  Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Bending Sheaves -Postcard Friendship Friday #433


This postcard is so pretty.  I love the colors and the way those poetic words are framed with the beauty of Autumn.  I know it is past Thanksgiving, but this postcard had such wonderful artwork, I had to share it with you.

May blessing and peace be yours, dear Friends! Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Hearty Thanksgiving Greeting -Postcard Friendship Friday #431


This is another postcard I found online through Card Cow.  For some reason I didn't download the back for you to view.  However I found this postcard so charming I am sharing it with you anyhow!

Notice the strength of this maiden's arms!  She holds a big pumpkin under one arm, while she gracefully grasps the stem of another giant.  Back in those days, women were very strong.  They had a lot more to do to make life work, than most of us do today.

A hearty Thanksgiving greeting to you and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Good Wishes for Thanksgiving Day -Postcard Friendship Friday #430




I love this artist's work.  These children are enchanting to my eyes--so sweet and funny.

I hope you are having a wonderful week!  As the poem says:

I hope this little card will convey
All that I wish for your Thanksgiving Day.
But somehow, or other it seems so small,
To think it could carry them all.  

May God bless you with joy as you go into this Holiday Season.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Busy Hands, Happy Heart -Postcard Friendship Friday #383


We had the best Thanksgiving ever.  Singing, playing instruments, laughter, good food and family time.  It was a true delight. Haha--and I saw my sweet Mumsie dance for the first time in my life!!! LOL She is so cute. This Thanksgiving was a memory maker--one I will treasure for all time!  There are some moments I wish could last forever...that is the way I felt yesterday. 

We missed my sweet husband.  He would have been so happy.  But I know he was with us in Spirit.

I am thankful for so many things--including you, dear ones.  Have a great weekend Friends, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

First Thanksgiving Dinner Party -Postcard Friendship Friday #382


I laughed out loud when I saw this vintage postcard's depiction of the First Thanksgiving.  The humor is delightful.  I am sure the English people who came to America had many cultural differences with the Native Americans they found living here.  And yet, at that time they all got along.  Indeed a native American by the name of Squanto came to help them.  Miraculously he knew English and gave the people of the Mayflower needed advice and help to make it through the following winter months.  It is a miraculous, beautiful story.  One worth researching!

It is hard to believe Thanksgiving is next week.  I don't know where the time flew to.  Have a lovely weekend, Happy Thanksgiving and a lovely Postcard Friendship Friday!

Girl, Grapes and the Turkey! -Postcard Friendship Friday #334



I apologize for not getting this up yesterday--I was having a sweet time of thanksgiving with my Mumsie.  I am so glad she is here on this earth--she is a precious blessing to me.  I thank the Lord for her.

There is so much for which to be thankful--I am glad we celebrate a day of Thanksgiving here in America--steeped in our history, it means a lot to all Americans.

Christmas is just around the corner--it is a time when we celebrate God's gift to mankind!  I am so looking forward to the holiday this year...though I will always miss sharing it with my Beloved, Dad and my sweet little brother Dow.

Have a lovely holiday season, dear Friends.  Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Thanksgiving Menu -Postcard Friendship Friday #331

It hardly seems possible that Thanksgiving here in the United States is at the end of this month.  Seems the older I get, the more quickly time passes by.  I just don't know where the time has flown--or how it flew by so quickly 

This old postcard is so sweet--I adore the chef's hat and that spangle-eyed turkey. The intricate designs around the feet of girl and fowl are beautiful! And that colorful pudding she holds above her head (eeeek!) looks ravishing. (grin)

I adore this Thanksgiving menu.  "Good Luck, success, riches garnished with good health, long life  la spirit, consolation." However, there's a couple other entree's I'd like to add, good friends and family. Though my  Beloved is not here--we still have so much, for which to be thankful this Holiday season.

May God bless you this Holiday season, dear Friends.  There are sparkles of joy everywhere.

Thanksgiving Rose -Postcard Friendship Friday #246


God bless you dear ones.  Count your blessings, sweet Friends.  Even when hard times happen--there are still blessings to be found.

Thank you so much for your sweet comments last week.  Thank you for your prayers, my family and I have felt them.  Thank you. 

I have not been able to communicate as normal, but when I am able, I'll be writing back to thank you for your kindness, and clicking in to see your wonderful postcards.

Blessings to you, my Friends.

Peace and Prosperity -Guest Heart Thursday



Today is Thanksgiving.  Here in American we celebrate family and harvest.  It is a time when family and friends gather and share the blessings of our lives.

Many of you do not live in America--therefore on this day of Thanksgiving, it is important for me to tell each of you that I am thankful for you.  I ask our Creator to place upon you a blessing of peace, joy and prosperity.

Have a blessed weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!


This is by far the strangest Thanksgiving postcard I've come across.  It is beautifully drawn with lovely colors and printing, but oddly enough, these two pioneer children seem to be frightened because of the arrows in those pumpkins.  The poetry doesn't seem go along with the picture either.  Perhaps the children are being protected by the hand of the Almighty?  What do you think?!

Hearty Thanksgiving Greetings -Postcard Friendship Friday #195

 


This is the second postcard of a lovely Indian maiden with her contribution to the Thanksgiving feast.  What a beautiful young woman--and so accomplished!  I am a smidge Native American, so I find these wonderful postcards honoring Native Americans to be especially delightful.

I wanted our friends from Russia to know you have been missed.  I didn't see you dear ones for some time and felt worried.  I'm glad to see you are back.

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Turkeys on a Fence -Guest Heart Thursday


What a lovely scene.  Here they are, turkeys on a fence--settled in for the night. sharing their adventures, I'm sure, of how they avoided being caught for the Thanksgiving table! 

You are probably wondering where the hearts are in this beautiful postcard.  On the right hand side at the fence line near the first gathering of cornstalks, you can see a little red flower in the shape of a heart.  (grin)

Have a lovely weekend, and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Thanksgiving Greetings -Postcard Friendship Friday #194



I adore these vintage postcards featuring lovely Indian maidens sharing the bounty of the harvest.  Though I'm blond and green-eyed, I am a bit Native American.  Hence, I love to hear stories of the ancient peoples of America who gave of their knowledge and harvest to the early settlers.  Indeed, we all have much for which to be thankful.

Have a lovely day, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Thanksgiving Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday


It took a long time to find a Thanksgiving card with hearts!  Isn't this little girl adorable?  I love her heart-covered bloomers.  What a funny postcard.  I don't think I'd let my tiny daughter chase a turkey around the yard...but times were different then, that's for sure.

Have a great day!

She Walks with Turkeys

I don't know why, but this wonderful postcard, part of my cyber collection, tickles my funny bone! (grin) These turkeys seem like a couple of lapdogs, with Lady Liberty's right hand resting on the grizzled head of one old turkey, as she gently herds the other proudly strutting bird with the other.

I bet they don't know she's gonna eat 'em!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Wishes -Postcard Friendship Friday

This whimsical postcard is a part of my cyber postcard-collection. Many and much thanks to our friend Pearl for her generosity!

I am not sure about cherubs cooking Thanksgiving dinner in the first place--it seems they might trip on those darling chef's gowns and dump that heavy turkey--and what IS that big red thing atop the turkey? Perhaps a rose??? (grin) Your guess is as good as mine!

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
