Postcard Friendship Friday

Happy little drummer boy! A picture of pure joy from the simple gift of a drum.

The message on the back of the card dated 12-23-09--many, many years ago.

I could not resist this darling card of the little girl in her jammies peeking in at the Christmas tree. Thank you, Beth , for hosting PFF. I want to extend my early best wishes to all for a Christmas spent with ones you love doing things you so love doing. And may Santa fill your stockings with all sorts of good things!

I did a Drummer Boy also (after I saw yours), but I won't reveal until Beth starts the ball rolling later today! Happy PFF! Only one more until Christmas.

"If you wish revenge on your enemy, buy his child a drum."
Really an old Chinese proverb!

Wonderful old cards, I just love to see the handwriting on these used postcards. I don't think my collection would mean as much if they were unused!
I love your old printers drawer, a wonderful place for treasure's within a treasure.
Blessings to you this week, found you through PFF, Lisa

I am so glad you found us and that we have the joy of seeing your wonderful postcards each Friday! These are just wonderful! I do so enjoy the little boy--reminds me of my son when he was small. lol

Merry Christmas and Happy PFF!

Adorable!!!!! The little drummer boy is cute, but it's the little one in the pj's that really made me smile. Beautiful calligraphy. I love the color on the old cards ... something *homey* about it.

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
