Pieces of the Past: Postcard Friendship Friday

Postcard Friendship Friday

I have found what I think are some very cute postcards for the upcoming Valentine's Day and will post them these Fridays before that sweetest day. This is another illustration I think is just wonderful - even looks a bit like the style of the card I posted last week - the big eyes. The message is wonderful.

What gorgeous penmanship! That has pretty much gone by the wayside anymore, I think. Hope you grabbed him, Edith!

Note the little pencilled question on this one - Will you?

I wonder if Elise and Daniel ever got together. I am hoping our dear hostess, Beth, at http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/ is feeling better after the sadness of last week. Time does help. Everyone have a Happy PFF. (Click to enlarge)

That's such beautiful handwriting on the first card! Would be nice to know how things worked out for Elsie and Dan. I guess it depends on how many cards he sent out...

I like the first one, expecially the look on the dog's face. I didn't notice the steam at first.

I love the look on the dog's face on the first card. I also love the little "will you?" Wonder if she did!

Cute, cute, cute. Especially the first card. The hot steam, the position of the boy and girl and the surprised expression of the dog are all priceless.

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.
