Postcard Friendship Friday

Happy PFF--one more week with Valentines. This little lady looks as if she could have been drawn by Theodor Geisel, the author of Dr. Seuss. How cute can a girl be? Evidently the writer found this in Windsor Locks, where the funny ones are!

Ella let Fred know in no uncertain terms that there was no frostiness in her family!

He must have sent her a Valentine because she was glad to receive it and know that she was remembered. Ella is another of the people of the past with beautiful penmanship! Thanks to our hostess Beth at http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/ for another fun PFF. (Click to enlarge)

Almost reminds me of the cartoon style used by the Disney folks for Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Very nice cards as usual, Carole.

I'm thinking a young Olive Oyl before her choice in dress took a turn for the worst.

Has a feel of a softer Ronald Searle's St Trinians. Cute cards and the messages are gems.

How cute! Funny that she seemed to be defending the fact that she was skinnny...probably wouldn't run across that today. :)

I love the top card! She wouldn't be called skinny these days - sadly it's an all too fashionable look.

Cool cards!
I like the word "penmanship"...:)

Great top postcard. That little girl has some sass. I like the droopy boots. Great illustration.

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.
