Pieces of the Past: Postcard Friendship Friday

Postcard Friendship Friday

Such a cute illustration - I thought it might be the same artist that did the Dolly Dingle dolls but it is not. Grace Payton was the lady who is responsible for those cuties. There is a name, Mary Eleanor George, printed on the card but I can find nothing on her. However, enjoy the valentine and the message on the back to the professor. The sender did not sign a name and there are just initials for the addressee - so is this a lady sending her valentine message to her beau or the beau sending one to his lady? And I take it the "tar" is another term for sailor. A little mystery for this sweet season coming up. Many thanks, Beth, for hosting PFF. Stop by her blog at http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/ and you will find lots of great old postcards.
Enjoy! (Click to enlarge)

I like the way her eyes look like they are popping out from the surprise.

Happy Pff to you :)
This is really a fun card.
I also tried to find out about the artist name on my card today and came up with nothing .
Maybe I was searching in the wrong direction.
It really is such fun to see the talent that went into the older postcards.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.
Until next time
Happy Trails

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.
