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)

    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
