Happy Passover & Easter!

This pretty little card is postmarked 1911. If you have a spare minute or two, please visit the Vintage Holiday Greetings Postcards group on Flickr to see lots of wonderful old Easter postcards. I started the group back in April of 2006 and blogged about how self-conscious I felt being the only member. I’m happy to report that we are now 236 strong (and growing!) with over 5,300 postcards uploaded, representing the major holidays. Anyway, it’s a fun place to spend time browsing if you enjoy vintage graphics. Everyone is welcome to join!

Have a Blessed Easter, Everyone...

A New Life for a Damaged Vintage Postcard…

I had purchased a small auction lot of antique holiday postcards last year – and this was amongst them. It was blank (except for the greeting) and must have had a photo glued on at one time that was later removed - there is a little damage where the paper lifted up. I wasn’t quite sure how I could use it, but I loved the greeting design and the embossed border. I decided to sew some pretty antique mother of pearl buttons to the blank area. This will be an accessory for one of my Shanty Claus dolls.
